You can buy adequate computers for $200~300 nowadays (monitor not included). For $500~600 you can already get a pretty powerful quad-core PC with a low mid-range discrete GPU suitable for light gaming. Unless a person is into heavy/high-end gaming or run a lot of CPU/GPU-intensive applications (e.g. 3D modeling), there's not much reason to get $1,000+ computers.
