hard to say.

my "starter set" (re: budget pc) probably cost 1K, but that was almost two years ago. since then, I've been constantly upgrading it piece by piece. the only thing that I have in my computer now that was in it 2 years ago is the floppy drive 😉
 
About $1500 over the last 14 months, but I already had some of the components & I got some as gifts, so it's probably worth around $2000. Check my sig for teh rig.
