Mac's are indeed overpriced, but easier to use, there's a perfect example of a company that you are literally paying for the brand alone, buy the product and make a donation = Mac price. I built my own pc and paid considerably less than an iMac for it. To get a comparable iMac to my PC, you'd need the 27" inch 5k Retina one that costs $3,500 and the GPU of that iMac does not even come close to the one I have.
The bulk of the costs of building a PC comes in the GPU and CPU, those two things you don't want to go cheap in or the motherboard, right now it will run you maybe $1K if you get the latest GPU and CPU, after the $1k spent, you just get yourself a good motherboard, efficient power supply, some ram, preferably 32gb just in case, good cpu cooler, good computer case with a lot of airflow, some ssd and hdd and you're done. You're looking at roughly $1,925 and that would be a monster of a PC. You can shave off $100s of dollars from that depending on what you're needs really are. You can take it down -$900 and it would still be a mid range, but powerful PC.
