$70 - I have a hexacore Xeon X5650 I bought for 70 bucks on ebay. Overclocked at 4.2 GHZ. $70 - Noctua Cooler NH-D14 $300 - 500GB SSD
$300 - Sabertooth X58 $330 - 970 GTX $80 - 8gb RAM $80 - Case $50 - 520W PSU $100 - Mechanical Keyboard $50 - Mouse Total $1430
With two upgrades in the past 6 years. I origanally had an i7 920, for $232, and a 460 GTX that was like 300. I resold them for about $200 dollars. So last 5 years has cost me about $1800 bucks on PC.
Not going to count my monitor that is 27 inch 2560 x 1440 because I use all my game systems (PS3, WII-U) with it too. It can play pretty much every game at 60 FPS at that resolution. Though some settings aren't quite maxed (Typically I turn MSAA to off or 2x. Since it doesn't increase the image quality that much more at my resolution, and use SMAA instead).

I gotta say one of my pet peaves is including accessories in the PC price. If you want a PC AND a keyboard, they should be considered two separate purchaces. Also don't let an exorbadent Keyboard and mouse take away from your PC's potential.
P.S. Get an R9 290 over a 970. It is the same performance for 20% less...

Not when I bought it... Nor did you get Far Cry 4 free with it.
It also has some other negatives. The OpenGL drivers are worse with with ATI, which is worse for things like dolphin.
And the 970 GTX has a much lower TDP, meaning much less heat in the case, lower cost of power over the use of the unit, and it's much easier to get quieter computer.
