Granted it'd still be more expensive than a gaming console, by far, but it isn't as if you have to get the most expensive thing available.

Well you see, that's not even the *Best* setup you can get.
And personally, I think if you're not going to upgrade for better, either from a console or older PC, then it's just not worth spending on a PC.
I've never heard of anyone "upgrading" to mid/low-range parts... If so, then either the system was very old and defective, or the guy's still playing ancient games.
Playing on MAX Settings at decent framerates is the PC Dream, and eventually everyone goes for it

Why are you including the cost of monitors into the equation. You might as well add the price of a HDTV to the console then.

I didn't take Displays in consideration, but there's
no way to play on 3 displays with decent frames. Multi-display is enthusiastic material by default.
But you're right, a single 660Ti is enough to max most games... if not bottlenecked
