I am not so sure about your currency, but if it is USD you should be able to get a computer that can run all the new games.
If you buy the ps4, you will be able to spend the rest of your budget on games, but be mindful that the ps4 and xbox one only have about 3 or 4 years left in them.
 
And the fact there's like nothing on PS4 or XB1 worth playing.

Since you've always been a console gamer it's unlikely you have anything like a monitor or KBM for a PC though.

This will actually run games at 1080p, 60FPS at high settings, PS4 would run them at like 900p, 30FPS.
