What if my/yours custom built Gaming PC was prebuilt.. How much would it cost?

CyanOG

I have been looking at some Pre-Built gaming pcs out in the market and the value is terrible on every one of them so this got me thinking how much would my own PC cost if it was a pre built system and you guys could try and come up a price for your own.

$2000 because of branding.

$1600 for the computer, $400 more just for the brand name.

I would guess around $2k as it sits now. Probably $3k when I add an 880 and another Evo.

Mine would probably be in the 1500 range, since the parts all together cost about 1100.

My Rig + Monitor, Keyboard, Accessories: $2000 (Note that USD is slightly more than CAD when converted)

 

ASUS ROG Pre-built Desktop: Same price with twice the RAM. (xD)

 

CyberPowerPC: $2000 USD

 

DigitalStorm: $2300 USD

 

HP: $1850 USD (some things are not the same, smaller and crappier monitor, crappier keyboard and crap mouse, so I guess that compensates.)

 

Alienware: $2400 USD

Even though I haven't built it yet, my future build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/wcreek/saved/mQM48d

I think after three years of nice care if built February 2015 and sold March 2018 I think I could ask for about $800 to $989. 
If it was an addition to Asus's Essentio line the MicroATX board would be upgraded to a standard ATX same PSU, CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD... and it would most likely have a basic Asus keyboard and mouse. So I'd say Asus might charge $1250 to $1300 as a similar Intel Asus Essentio was like $999 at best buy.

I built mine for about $1500 so probably $2000. $5000 if Apple sold it. :P
