I would say $200 for each major part (SSD, GPU, and CPU). $50-100 for each of the other parts (motherboard, RAM, and case.

I splurged when I built my PC... Spent around $1200. You should be able to build a decent computer for half the price, today.

But again, that's if you're building using unused parts.
You can probably buy a used PC for cheap and upgrade it, if needed, cheaper...

I just bought a used computer for $250. Not the best out there, but great for what I'm using it for.

i5-3570k (3.4 GHz)
8 Gb DDR3
nVidia GeForce GTX 650 2 GB
2 TB 7200 RPM HDD

The video card alone is worth more than half what you paid for the whole PC. That was a good buy.

GTX 650 isn't bad for what it is from personal experience. Even the 660 you can get for just under 100aud.
