Its about price to performance value. With same value you can build an equivalent PC. Which won't be banned and turned into a brick on their own whim. Many users very unjustly banned and were not able to connect to internet and game online. For the same price you could do more to with PC. Pros out weighs the cons

I want to see this equivalent PC. (A BOM would do.) Because I highly doubt someone can source the parts for this cheap.

Yep, a proper GPU would cost more than PS5. A second-hand market can come to rescue, but let's not pretend that these two groups (console users and pc builders) overlap in a significant way. People buy consoles because they are cheap and easy to use.
