I think a lot of that is overkill. PCs are easy to pour money into, but for a baseline system that can run everything very well these days, you don't need to spend over $400 for a complete system. I dropped $280 the other day for a brand new AMD processor, mainboard, and 8GB performance RAM. I can turn around and sell the 4-year old Intel hardware I have for almost that much! I think with PCs, the biggest barrier is knowledge of system building.

Completely agree it's easy to go overboard. My mainboard was probably about $280 alone when I first bought it. That being said, pc hardware has always driven game development and vice verse. Eventually, even with 4 dedicated graphics cards and 16gb of ram games will start to get choppy again and you'll have to stomach lowering your settings for the latest game.
