For me the cost of gaming on PC is just whatever I need to add on top of a standard workstation, which is mostly just a bumped up graphics card. Only late last year did I finally upgrade the bones of a PC I've been running since 2009, which is a hell of a cycle. If you're chasing top performance and regular upgrade cycles I agree, it can be a pit of (up to) infinity monies. The current situation with GPU prices and coin mining etc does make things especially tricky right now if you're not already set up with a gaming rig from the past ~5 years.
