A gaming PC for the average consumer will spend under $750 for the "No Frills" bundled system with average generic components, average performance, and average looking case. An LCD/LED monitor will cost an extra $150 or so.
The price above is dependent on which country and currency that determines the average cost of a computer system.
For browsing and very limited gaming with a screen, it will cost around $500 to $750.
As you mentioned "Good" and not the "Ultimate" or "Best", then you'll be look at middle range with reasonable quality brands, parts and expecting to achieve the recommended gaming resolution of at least 1920+ with medium to high graphics settings and the way the computer and keyboard/mouse looks is up to the consumer's choice and budget; et cetera.
Then you'll be look at least $1500 to $1750. For something that is Best; then the cost is $1750 to $2250. And for Ultimate; you're looking at around $2250 to $3250.
These prices above reflect on the current local consumer market, and only refers to the components if you were to custom build the system yourself for a desktop PC. The price is also based on a singular purpose system for gaming only with a single graphics card.
Those who are looking for the extremes in gaming performance will be spending up to $5,000+ for multiple graphics cards, a large consuming power supply with 4 figures as they can go as high as 1500W or more; memory, hard drive performance; audio capabilities, peripheral accessories et cetera.
I built a dedicated desktop system about 4 years ago specifically for file storage using a proper Raid 5 card to handle 8x SATA drives; and based upon the drives and the card itself; it was close to $3,000; so in saying so, it depends on the usage and configuration of a computer system.
Branded systems, you will expect to pay a lot more; and if it is a notebook; significantly more.

Im thinking of buying pc gaming accessories!?
SwatCSI
Today i asked my mom if i could buy some pc gaming supplies: gaming desk, gaming chair, joystick, racing whell, webcam, and gaming speedpad. and 2 new graphics cards. she said yes and as i calculated the price it came to well over 1700$ and i am just wondering is all this stuff worth it? im 14 and like computergames i might play for about 30mins-1hr a day so seriously is it worth it. and by the way i have an amzing pc so games look amzing i just want to enhance the experience! :)
Answer
No, it isnt worth it.
Any desk will do aslong as it has sufficient room and doesnt put the pc into an enclosed space (blocking off air supply and frying the thing)
Any high back chair would be fine aswell, just dont buy a cheapy, get a decently priced one and make sure its a high back chair then you can lean right back.
As for the other accessories, a gamepad or steering wheel can make racing games fun but you need to pick ones that compliment what you want, if you prefer realistic racing a steering wheel is a good idea, otherwise stick with a gamepad for fast and easy control.
A joystick is generally only good for flight simulators so again, choose based on what games you plan on playing, as for the webcam, you dont need to spend an enormous amount on them, just buy a decent one for around $100 with the new rightlight technology or similiar, you dont really need face tracking abnility or to have the webcam turn into a terminator.
As for graphics cards, buy one, not two, SLI is nice and all but one decent card is better than two sub par ones, and two top of the line cards are overkill.
Personally I would buy the second or third from the top card from either ATI or NVIDIA as it should easily be sufficient, a 9800GT or GTX or an ATI 4850 or 4870 should be sufficient for all current and 6 month future games. Save the remaining money and you could buy another newer card in 12 months time.
Having money is great, but spending it needlessly is well, a waste.
Hope you find what you are looking for.
