It is hard to say because I had some of the stuff already like the pc. Without the pc I spent about $1000. $600 of that was the controls. The tv was about $200. If you already have a decent pc and monitor, and you don't really need the best controls , you can come in well under what I spent. Check out the X-Arcade controller (They even make a cabinet!) for about $100. http://www.x-arcade.com/ This even works on consoles!
Good Luck!
