This is new stuff, one of the benefits of PC gaming is that you can roll builds. So if you had a gaming pc in the last 5 years you're looking at a £450 upgrade, not a £700 one if you're a PS5 player. Or even hitting up used for things like cases etc

Using a bench of Horizon Zero Dawn for the GPU

2k bench taken from techspot

so doing what the PS5 pro will be and using an upscaller like FSR/DLSS to hit 4k

4K is in the 50s, but again scalers used brings it to 60.

I have played GOW as well as a ton of other games this year at a resolution of 2K 144fps HDR on my machine without any issues or stutters. Also don't have to wait for a republish that I have to rebuy to enjoy older games at 4k 140hz currently playing AC4 and it looks amazing.

The PS5 pro is using similar scaling tech, but both my Bazztie “consoles” can play some games native 4k, and using DLSS/FSR with a 2k signal like the pro will be doing obviously gains more titles.

The older games are referring to the PS5 pro line up, it's all older games that most pc builds around this price can compete with. List taken from Polygon:

Gran Turismo 7 (supports ray traced reflections between cars in gameplay at 4K 60fps, and a dedicated 8K mode, according to CNET)
Horizon Forbidden West (as well as an overall “detail boost,” there are “improvements to lighting and visual effects” and to “hair and the skin in cinematics,” according to Mark Cerny)
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (high resolutions and detail at a distance, including the trees and procedural cars)
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (distant details will be more clear, such as during the opening parade scene)
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered (offers greater visual detail at 60 frames per second, including sharper details at a distance)
Demon’s Souls (no specific enhancements outlined)

I used laptops as an example for someone who does not want to build, but my living room one is a mid AM4 from 2019 build that I put an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT in. So about £800 build the cost of the upper end PS5 pro and not far off the base. My Nitro 5 was £700.

My comment was more about the irrelevancy of consoles once they start getting past the £500 mark, used to be that you'd have a good advantage over a mid-tier PC for about 2 years. Now it's basically on par for the same money short of wanting to play exclusives, which Sony hasn't really been pumping out this gen. Where the PC library is huge, add in Emulation and it's even bigger.

I do even more appropriate if you count DLSS like the pro is, "play older games" basically what Sony has atm

You can get a gaming laptop for that stick bazzite on it or use steam big picture on launch you've got a platform that does +60fps 4k HDR with 40 years worth of games. Consoles are getting very close to being irrelevant unless you like sports titles.

I don't know maybe, what I like doesn't transfer well to other media...

You know guys I'm starting to think maybe there's a chance we misinterpreted the words of Jesus through multiple translations and opinionated bias. We can't even get this Viking image right
