Budget PC Help

Hey guys this is my first time posting here so here goes nothing :)

I have the option to buy a budget PC with Pentium g4560 and gtx 1050 ti (I can provide full specs as well if needed) or to get a ps4 pro. I don't know that much about the differences between the two so I thought that someone from this forum might help me decide between the two. Furthermore, I use my PC for work as well but then again I could just get a ps4 pro for gaming and a  cheap PC with integrated graphics for my job later on. In my country this budget gaming PC and the Ps4 pro have the same price. What would you recommend me to buy?

Sorry for bad English and Thank you for reading this :)

Cheers!

Thanks for replying so quickly guys :D

Yeah I would definitely upgrade my CPU to something with 4 cores in the future and the GPU when the prices become reasonable. I would mostly play Rainbow Six and Overwatch with a couple of AAA titles such as Witcher 3, GTA and Metal Gear Solid etc. I dont care that much for ultra or very high settings, something like medium or high would be just fine since I would upgrade by the end of the year if I go with the PC. But I do know that PS4 games are super optimized and I really love the exclusives as well so idk...

PS4 games aren't more optimized than on the PC. They run pretty much the same as an equivalent PC. PS4 ≈ R7 260X, PS4 Pro ≈ RX 470
