How do you guys build these PCs at such high prices? What do y’all do for living? Married? Kids? What kind of job? Credit? Second mortgage?

Just ordered everything over the past couple days.
How'd I do?
Strictly gaming + tasks that my 9 year old MBP already handles.
Been planning for a while and didn't really feel like waiting the additional month and a half - 2+ months to actually get my hands on a Zen2 chip and x570 mobo. I'll get something much better than anything currently available when the time comes that my i5 is obsolete enough to replace. That and I got my i5 for 40 off of current retail.
Prices are inclusive of tax and shipping.

What's considered high? Feel like $1500-ish is pretty normal for a true a highest mid-range end gaming build with say RTX 2070. High end going closer to $1750-$2000 range (RTX 2080). Very high end $2400-$3000 range (RTX 2080 Ti). Could build even cheaper using cheapest components but kind of ramped up price assuming using higher end components overall with each graphics upgrade there.
Could get away with a $1000 RTX 2060 build pretty easily too with very solid components.

I make decent money, and I'm currently single
EDIT: I'm still using my 1080p i5-6500 Skylake build from 3 years ago. I built that for about $1100. I'm still using an old AMD R9 380 graphics card

What do you consider high?
i5 9400f + Gigabyte B360 - $180 (Microcenter bundle)
Corsair Vengeance 2666 2x8 - $70 (Amazon)
Samsung 860 Evo M.2 SSD - $90 (Amazon)
EVGA 1660 Ti - $250 (Microcenter)
Corsair 200R - $63 (Amazon)
EVGA B3 550W - $65 (Amazon)
This is basically what I have (i5 8400 for CPU and GTX 1070 for GPU instead) and I never drop below 60 FPS at 1080p at high and sometimes ultra settings.
