That's true, but the X has all GDDR5, so it still may not be a fair comparison. Consoles really are different.

No, you can't especially with its small form factor and you have to buy a Windows license.

It depends where you put the computer as well. If you can hook it up to your TV, that is a bonus. That way, you can run KODI or watch those live tv streams. Also, the piracy is much better on PC systems.
If you forget about the PIRACY on computers, you do get better gaming deals than console users. Games are much better. Mods are actually good.
Console gamer are restricted too many things.
Personally, i think it is okay to spend a little bit more money on a PC for a better media experience

I would say YES..if all you need is the tower...but generally speaking no. If you were to build one.. def consider dropping a little more cash anyway, since a PC is a lot more versatile than a console.
If you want to build a box that has as much "tech" in it as X1X you'd have to spend at least $1000+
If you want to build a PC that can run games as good as an X1X it'll be at least $600
Either way X1X is a great deal, and easily better than any "steambox" I've seen.

so the xbox 1x is a little less expensive 
How much was your 4k tv
how much were the extra controllers
how much are the games
how much is xbox live
console game is more expensive over a course of 4 years than pc gaming
It's better to spend more and you'll be straight for a while.
You can't build a "console" PC but you can build a PC that destroys a console specs wise for a bit more money.

Can you build a PC as powerful as the PS4Pro for less than $400 ?
Strictly on a hardware level. You have to consider the OS related overhead, drivers, etc. Consoles make more from less.
And PCs do a ton more than consoles. It's a fair tradeoff
Facts. I'm just disputing the whole "get equivalent hardware and it'll perform the same" rhetoric. In real use, you probably spend more than a grand.And PCs do a ton more than consoles. It's a fair tradeoff
this dude built a 69 dollar gaming PC, he might have some good tips for a 500 dollar powerful PC
