Erm, you don't really have to spend thousands of dollars to get a decent mid-range PC these days.
You can see the diff between EU and US prices right there...The US version says "Starts at $599" whereas the UK version says "Starts at £700", £700 is about $900. Wondering how much the price is going to be marked up if you fully kit it out though.
Lately I tried out doing a cheapo budget build where I bought a second hand mobo/cpu/RAM/SSD bundle from a computer recycling place, it was all decent stuff (Basically as good as my gaming PC is now) and had only been used a year or so and they were selling it for really cheap (~$150)
Threw in a 970 and a manufacturer refurbished gsync monitor and the whole build came to around $400-500 for something that can play a wide range of games at 144hz.

Which is probably why they talk about high-end and not mid-range?
Yikes... The A10/560 combo is definitely the weak point of this from a "gaming" point of view. I've done Pentium/750 Ti builds in the past for less, and these days you can build a G4560/1050 Ti build *with* a full copy of windows and 8 GB of ram for that same price. The difference in performance would be astonishing to say the least.
Yeah the A10 choice is really weird, though the 560 is a surprisingly powerful card.

But yeah as others have said, a G4560/RX570 build is pretty much the best budget setup you can get nowadays.
