Well, I wonder how feasible it is to aim at around $100 average for each component with the maximum limit $200 for one component.

Isn't that what you're doing?
If you take out your Monitor and CPU, everything you got is in the low 100's, with the PSU and case being actually pretty cheap. It's feasible, and actually it's the sweet spot for a general purpose computer, in my opinion. In my case, I could've gone with the GTX if I wanted, but really why would I? My GTS destroys basically every game out there with the exception of Crysis, though it still runs very well even with very high settings ( and trust me, Crysis is a resource hog to the max... This thing pushes all of the latest hardware to the limit. ), not to say stuff like Lineage 2, WoW, which it goes over as if they are nothing.
On the other hand, my grandma's computer gets heavily bottlenecked by the 333mhz ram and the Sempron 1.8ghz it has, not managing to go over 20 FPS with tweaked very low settings - though the Very Low, Low and Medium settings tend to perform pretty close to one another, since it's packing a well-powered X850XT.
Hardware is definitely a strange thing. It certainly is.
On another note, I'm just getting my hands on Artificial Girl 3. I wanna know if my rig is enough to sustain good FPS... Meaning, Faps per Second.
