100% the right choice. For the around the same $700 a playstation pro costs, you can get something good. If you can pony up around $1000, you can get something great.
You'll make the cost difference up in game price savings in no time. Shit is legitimately cheap, especially if you're in no hurry.
What would you recommend for a 700 setup? Just processor and gpu is fine. They would be most of the budget.
I updated the above with some links. This is spec'ed solidly for around that price:

I personally prefer AMD to Intel at this point, but it's a touch pricerer right now:

Either one will work great, but the $1200 rig is where I would recommend if you can swing it. It's the best bang for your buck, and will stay a solid gaming rig for 4-5 years, longer if you like indies:

Much appreciated, thanks
