well broken down on the 2nd system using Newegg prices
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 3.40GHz = $300
8GB DDR3 RAM = $65
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti ~$130
LGA 1155 motherboard ~$60
1TB HD ~$80
= $635
so add in case, PSU, OS and you are looking ~$800 -$850
Of course, there are many ways, both legal and not, to get an OS on the cheap side
