I am talking about new parts, but I have to specify that you need to build it yourself since nobody will sell a whole rig for that little.
If you check Newegg and pick your deals, the card should run about $40, the cpu $50, the RAM $20, the PSU $30, the fans $10 each, and a case if you find one with an included mobo as a package for $50.
They're not good components at all. I would never recommend a $30 PSU for a gaming rig.
But that's not a gaming rig, and it still passes consoles by a small margin.
No offense, but if you spent $1000 on a pc it should really be high end, otherwise you spent way too much. My PC can max just about any game at a middling resolution (still higher than 720p), and it was $300 less than yours.
That's leaving aside game optimization , which consoles have done for them already, and overclocking, which you'd probably end up doing yourself on a budget rig. That much work will probably leave some people still preferring their consoles.
