That's cool, but most people want to keep playing current AAA games.

It still kept up for at least 2 generations of AAA when built.

The $700 build is definitely not keeping up with AAA games for two full console generations.

What would make you think that a PC wouldn't also be able to do this for longer? Lol.

The fact that most of my PC builds are generally midrange builds (i.e. about that $700 price if I reuse the case and PSU and GPU prices aren't surging), and that midrange-build-GPU is only barely usable for AAA for one full generation. It might go for longer with games that are as well-optimized as a Doom game, but that's not the norm.
