I do this currently with Google Home. It's pretty complicated for the return you get.
If you just want to send commands to PS4 AFTER ITS ON, the harmony hub + remote/app can do it via Bluetooth.

To turn on the PS4 you need:
ps4-waker | Turn on/off a PS4 on the same network and logs in. Can also start applications (like Vue) and send commands.
---|---
IFTTT | To activate a link in response to Alexa command
Autoremote chrome extension | Receive web request from IFTTT on local computer
EventGhost | To perform action on local computer after an AutoRemote request
always-on computer | To run Autoremote, EventGhost and then ps4-waker command

To send specific commands to PS4 from Alexa/IFTTT, same setup as above but instead of ps4-waker, use:
HarmonyHubCLI | Tells a harmony hub on the same network to send a command to any device like PS4, TV, etc.
---|---

This is how it flows:
I use this computer stick and leave it on. If you are serious about home automation, this is the way to go. You can control everything on your local network via scheduling, HTTP requests and IFTTT.
edit: I forgot Vue doesn't accept bluetooth commands from anything but a controller. On mine, my TV supports HDMI Link which passes TV remote commands to the PS4. So Harmony hub send the TV commands and the TV passes them to the PS4 and that works. If your TV can't do that then using HarmonyHubCLI/harmony remote to send bluetooth commands won't work for Vue but works for other PS4 applications. I will leave this up anyhow for turning on the PS4 at least.
edit2: HDMI Link also supports turning on the PS4 from standby when the TV input is switch to PS4. Not all TVs support this though. Worth checking out, but this won't open PS Vue like ps4-waker would.
As others have rightly pointed out, even the Pi 3 is arguably a little too much on the slow and under powered side for desktop computer usage.
A better option, in my opinion, would be to consider one of the many cheap Intel compute sticks floating around. These deliver performance way beyond the Pi 3 and usually come with built in storage so no need to buy an SD card. This is just one example, they are usually cheaper if you get one that doesn't include a Windows licence.
