Built the one I am on in 2007-08 I think, spent about 800 and was about middle of the road at the time.
My crappy power supply went out and took some RAM with it in 09 and replaced the parts for 200.
Upgraded the monitor that I used for a TV for a time for 350. Bought random peripheral parts like keyboard and headphones over the years for about 100. Bought a new case in 2010 for 60.
I am on the low end of PC gaming right now but have gotten a 6 years out of it while being my main PC.
In it for about 1400, but many parts like the case, power supply, monitor, keyboard mouse headphones and speakers will carry over to the next build.
The ability to fix issues yourself is a huge deal in PC gaming. Many people I know have gone through 2 or 3 xbox's in during that time period.

Which is still cheaper than $1400.
