My first rig was pretty crappy, only a tri-core AMD processor, a AMD 5450 with 512 MB of VRAM, 4GB of DDR3 (RAM), a 300 watt power supply, and a 1TB hard drive. This was about 3 or 4 years ago, and I think it cost me around $500 (But with the advance of technology, today you could get a much better rig for the same price). From there, I first upgraded the GPU, then the power supply, and then the CPU, etc etc, and here I am 3 years later, with a monster of a PC that can play any game I please on max settings.
Although, if you have a bigger budget, like the $800 you mentioned, buying a pre-built isn't a wrong move. If you want something less complicated to get you started, it's a very good idea. Listen to what the man above me said, he knows what he's talking about. I've always heard that iBuyPower is a great manufacturer. However, if you're willing to build your own, shop on Newegg (has the best prices in the business, along with a 3-part tutorial specifically designed to beginners building their first PC. It covers selecting the right parts, actually assembling the computer, and loading the OS onto the hard drive). And if you need help, you can always message me on Steam and i'll help you as much as I can. Always willing to get another person into PC gaming :).
By the way, there's nothing wrong with going console, but seriously, PC gaming has one of the best communities in the world. Better graphics, mods, people who are willing to help newcomers, and less screaming kids than xbox live and PSnetwork. I hope I helped a little, good luck!
P.S. If you decide on PC, congratulations!
Building your own PC is the best way to go. I found it very rewarding. It's a game in itself.
Here take this build for example for $635~:

On a $800 budget you still have got room for a 1920*1080 21.5 inch monitor and some $20-30 speakers in case you need both those things.
If you've already got that covered, then look at it this way. You can afford to break any 1 single part and replace it and still stay on budget. I really don't think you will break anything.
If it arrives broken then you probably get free replacement.
This build should technically beat the PS4 and it is upgradeable which the PS4 is not.
I'll be sad that I can't play Infamous: Second Son or any other PC exclusives, but I'm thinking the advantages of PC might outweigh that.
I had the same anxiety as you but you just need to get on with it and do it.
So just at the end of last year, my own laptop died and I had a little more than $800 to build a pc. This is what I came up with, first time building a pc! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1a2jB
Should you choose to try this build out, id advise investing in an aftermarket cooling unit. The stock one is kinda loud but it gets the job done well.
This PC build vs PS4: Is this even a contest? The ps4 will remain the same until its decade lifespan is over! Learning about PC's and how to build them will be most benificial especially if there's ever a time where consoles cease to exsist. The build recommended will out do the ps4 for a limited time. However, upgrade the parts a bit when you have the money and then you have a pc that beats the ps4 always. Also, depending on what you play on pc, no stupid montly subscription fees, better game deals, and generally more you can do.
Custom build vs Prebuilt:
I have learned that a lot of prebuilt machines are overpriced and they always have advertizing crap and crap antivirus on them. A custom build has a lot less advertizing crap in it and you can actually choose to not install norton or mac afee and install Avast or Kasperski or what ever you want and save some of your time. Chances are, your custom build will out preform any prebuilt machine unless they are the super expensive ones with all the latest hardware.
In the end I found actually building the computer was easy and fun, I treated every part like it was made of glass. They are actually more durable than you think but if it's your first time doing it then there's nothing wrong with being too careful. Have a clean large work area, I took over the dining room table and chairs, covered the table in cardboard for padding and covered that in a layer of brown packing paper so I could have a soft smooth work area. I used to chairs to hold various tools, screwdrivers, a few different sets of pliers, zipties and twistties and other chairs to hold parts and boxes. All in all it was probably the most organized thing I've ever done in my life.
A few final tips, lockup all pets and siblings. If that can't be done then guard your assembly area jelously, careless sticky fingers and pet hair are things you want to avoid. I wouldn't bring a drink near your pc while your assembling it, I set mine on another table out of the way to avoid spills or condensation from the drink getting on any of the parts, and no food at all. Wash your hands before you touch any of the parts to get rid of any body oils on your hands and finally if I had to leave the table for any length of time I would close my pc's case or cover it with something. You dont HAVE to do any of this, I know I probably went a little overboard with some of my measures but I had spent alot more than $800 on my PC so I saw no problem with overdoing it.
After all if it's worth doing, then its worth overdoing.
By the way, PC's will always be the way to go. As others have said a PS4 or an Xbox will have the same specs until they are replaced in a few years and there's no way around it, a desktop isn't limited like that, you could start with a $450 rig and end up with a $3000 rig. The only limiting factors with a desktop is your wallet and the currently available tech.
Excellent answers. Bravo!
This build does not include an operating system and it's price is around 700$.
What I personally like about this build is the motherboard, 6 SATA III slots (so you can add an SSD later or extra harddrives), USB 3.0 headers (The PC case has USB 3.0 slots, so you can use USB 3.0 devices at their full speed when plugged in from both from and back), 4 RAM slots supporting up to 32Gb of DDR3 RAM, it also supports Crossfire (it doesn't support SLI, only crossfire), so you can add another 7850 later (and AMD fixed most of the issues with crossfire in their latest driver update).
So a good mobo, cpu and psu are mandatory for a "future-proof" system.
FX 6300 isn't top of the class CPU but it will do it's job. The CM 212 Evo cooler is cheap, silent and much better than AMD stock cooler (sounds like a dishwasher possesed by deamons).
RAM, Kingston Black 1600Mhz 2x4Gb - standard stuff.
GPU, 7850 saphire, first I wanted to select GTX 660 or 7870, but I skipped the 660 because of the lack of SLI support and 7870 because it's way too overpriced for it's performance.
HDD: WD Blue 7200RPM 1TB - can't get a better deal.
PSU: Corsair 650W, powerful enough to push an extra card (Though you can go for a 600W or 550W but you won't be able to get later cards which will undoubtedly require more power).
Optical drive: Bah you only need it to install the OS and retail games, they haven't changed for a decade so it's pretty much the same whichever you pick up.
So yeah, it's a good build. But if you want to go for a Intel/nvidia build, I wouldn't recommend going for it under 800$. In the Build mentioned above, GTX 650 is a borderline card, not really a good choice for a gaming build with that budget.
Rarely (in developed countries where you rarely loose power), but you can always get a UPS battery, which will stop almost all voltage jumps (lightning doesnt count. xD).
One thing to keep in mind with buying a pre-built computer versus a self-built computer is the potential for issues related to troubleshooting with no help from a builder. It may be individual component issues or OS issues. It can be a very daunting task. Sometimes it's nice to have the builder to assist you with the troubleshooting if you do have issues.
It does happen but not very often, the conditions have to be extreme and the individual would need to be brain dead.
It's a common sense thing, wear cottons, don't rub feet on nylon carpet then touch ram BAD!
There are anti static wrist bands but it you use your head, keep static to minimal and discharged onto metal case frame before touching circuits it should go well.
When I first started I used the wrist band but haven't on the last 6 builds, plus I'm on a wood floor that keeps static down to min.
