Do not build this, OP. You will be disappointed.
The minimum you need to match the performance of current-gen consoles is:
GPU: R9 270X, R7 370, GTX 760, or GTX 950 (R9 270 or GTX 750Ti will match the XB1 but not PS4)
CPU: Athlon X4 860K (or any quad core - this is just the cheapest currently available)
RAM: 8GB
With that in mind, here's the minimum console-equivalent build:
