I just ordered a custom PC build for my sister, with a 7800X3D + AIO cooler, 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM, case + power, etc. for around US$950. That includes assembly and shipping. It does not include SSD and GPU because my sister already has them, but you can add a reasonably good 2TB SSD for ~$150 and a 4090 for ~$2,000. That means you can get a top of the line PC for less than $3,500. If you settle for a 4080 which is ~$1,200, you can get one for less than $2,500.
Had a quick peek on newegg and looks like a good but cheap 4080 super is around 1k and a 2tb ssd around 100.
So about ~2150 for a top end setup. Use the money saved over a 4090 to get a 32inch 4k qd oled monitor and you’re set for a very long time.
On a side note always amusing to read people arguing over graphics and you come to find out they’re making these observations on some run of the mill display running in horribly setup out of the box “game mode.”
