Just as an example:
My system I built a year and a half ago cost me about $700 all said and done. The same parts now would run probably more like $600 or less. Just depends on the deals you find. I scavenged newegg and tigerdirect for a couple days for deals and discounts. It runs the latest games without any hiccups on highest settings.

Intel core2quad Q9550 2.83ghz processor
Radeon 4870 1gb video card
Kingston dual channel DDR2 4gb ram (now up to 8)
ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard
WD 320gb 7200 rpm hard drive (later added a couple terabytes for backing up)
Case
DVD drive
etc.
blah
blah
