Can you build a PC as powerful as the XB1X for $500?

PCWorld have tried, and apparently the answer is a big NO.

In an attempt to create a custom built computer with specifications matching exactly those of the newly revealed Xbox One X (which I personally decided to refer to as XB1X but feel to come up with your own acronym), PCWorld concludes that, apparently, for the first time in the history of gaming, a console may be more powerful than a custom built computer of the same price tag at the time of its release!

XB1X specs:
CPU: Custom AMD 8-core @ 2.3 GHz
GPU: Custom AMD chip @ 6.0 teraflops
RAM: 12 GB GDDR5
HDD: 1 TB
OPT: 4K Blu-ray drive

PCWorld's attempt #1
With 8GB DDR3 for a total cost of $652

PCWorld's attempt #2
With 8GB DDR4, for a total cost of $944

So... can you do better than PCWorld? Let us know what you think. PC master race!

The very specifications of the Xbox One X prove that all Microsoft does is make cut down versions of high-end PCs for a lower price. Sure the XB1X is way cheaper than it should be but specs alone mean nothing. They failed this E3 to Nintendo for this exact reason. And they failed to Sony for the past years for the same reason as well. Both the other companies know the games their fans like, unlike MS. They only give quality specs, no gimmicks at all. We want innovative games unique to the plattform, don't we? Why spend $500 on a Xbox One X rather than getting a PC which can play the same games and outperform the XB1X? Don't get me wrong, Xbox fans, this is just my opinion. Yours could be different...

Guys, there's no "true" exclusives for Xbox X, since almost of xbox' incoming titles are also coming for pc win 10, so there's no reason to buy it. pc mustard race has online multiplayer free of fee, supports crossplay and runs at more stable fps.

So fuck Xbox X, get SWITCH instead! The only place where you can find Mario and Co.
