and the price of a decent gaming PC hasn't really changed much in the last 15 years.

I take it you haven't priced parts for a gaming PC in the last 15 years?

I know this may come as a shock to some people, but you do not have to buy the latest and greatest parts, and if you stick to parts that're 1-2 years old, the prices are quite reasonable. Unless you're doing some really top-end shit on your PC, DDR4 RAM will work just fine for you, and if you are doing something that's too intensive to work on older parts, then discussion about "decent" gaming PCs doesn't really apply to you.
