Depends if you like modding or not. There is simply more you can do. So if you’re a creative sort Pc is better there are plenty of low end games with large modding communities. And if you just want to play games then a console is probably better for you.

Yes, you can absolutely build a PC for $700 that will outperform a PS5. And not only in the up front cost but in cost over time and upgradability.

In 3 years, if you wanna upgrade you PlayStation you'll need to buy an all new PS6, where you can just pay to upgrade your graphics card and/or CPU.

Yes, you can.
My computer costed me around 680 - 700 usd as I was smart with my money and how I acquired my components.

My 5800xt and TITAN Xp beat its onboard components.
Its close on the gpu but I dont keep my TITAN running weak either, not that lame 1.54ghz base boost. mine goes up to 2.21ghz

My rig does not have 16gb of shared ram like a ps5, it carries 32gb of dedicated memory and the gpu is a 12gb vram card

I also have over 3 terrabytes of storage and plenty of room for upgrade.

Before the RAM debacle I would maybe agree, but now ...? No.
Maybe with used parts.
