I would say it's better at playing games that are PC exclusive! But otherwise no, it falls short on every component except for maybe the GPU, but games are developed to be optimized for the GPU in the PS4. Your processor is the biggest gap in hardware between the two.

We could have a whole thread on why it wouldn't be bad to stick with your PC over the PS4, but to answer your question breifly, no, it's not better in terms of hardware.

I would add that console ports to PC are often so poor that they require a lot more powerful PC to play as well as a console.

The PS4 uses 8 Jaguar cores which aren't terribly fast but note that's twice as many as any of their desktop APUs, its main memory is GDDR5 and it has an integrated 7850/R7-265 so it's like AMD's fastest APU.

The PS4 pro got a speed bump and the GPU upgraded something like a 380x.

Your specs are about equal to that of the original ps4, which means gameplay will be lower then the ps4.
When you design a game for a console with ONE harrdware configuraiotn you can tweak and optimize it for that one specific hardware set.
PC games on the other hand have to be coded for a broad range of hardware and thus even though your CPU is equal to say a ps4s cpu, its overal gaming performance for PC titles is less.

Your CPU is about 4/5ths as strong as the PS4s APU in terms of raw CPU processing power, but, because the PS4s APU has to also process the graphics, and it's the only thing doing it, how much "CPU" power is left for "CPU" calculations.

But your GPU destroys the PS4s APU's graphics capabilities.

So your system is actually quite a bit stronger than a PS4, we don't have the exact specs of the PS4 pro though, so it's hard to make that comparison, but I think it's still stronger on the graphics front there.

Depends on the resolution.
The PS4 is likely running it at only 900p (1600x900) and probably not actually "high" settings.
Remember, the consoles... don't really have graphics settings options.
