Next step for you should be a 1440p monitor upgrade man, that GPU @1080p is a waste of power!
Let us know how many fps do you get with that beauty
I have a 42" Viewsonic commercial monitor. It only does 1080p. My 22" is higher, but I have them running in a dual monitor config with extended desktop. This is really my editing rig. I got the Titan to help with Blender. My 690 was waaay too slow rendering.
I'm around three into it. But the Titan is used. I try to keep it reasonable. Next summer I'll start prowling for a Z. Figure that will be within reach by then.
P.S. I like this rig, because it is both toy and money maker.
And the 690 is sold. It is now Madden season! One refurb PS4 on the way!
A part of me don't want to sell old cards as I can build a mini PC and put it in the living room as a hybrid gaming/movie box. I still have a GTX 580 lying around...just researching on a mini case that looks good in the living room.

I have a second PC right next to mine with a 560ti in it. It's actually Joel, my son's, PC. Meaning my old PC. It's got an i7 860 with 16gb of ram. I have a SiliconDust homerun prime hooked to all of my network, so that ends up being where I watch tv and he plays Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. The family room is the 360 and Disney Infinity, and now the Wii U. We have way too many games! But I didn't have a new gen console. Solved!

Yeah, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I really need to put up a new avatar. My boys are 8 and 5 now. Actually Joel will be nine in a few weeks. He was 3 in that pic. Fail!
With all accessories and a Windows license to buy, i.e. completely from scratch, you can't really. Upgrading an existing semi-modern PC, possibly.
Even if you could build an entirely new PC for the same cost as a console, it's pointless to try and achieve because the whole point of PC is that you have access to hardware beyond the level of consoles, why would you want to build something that's practically the same specs as a console? May as well just buy a console.
