I'm not a PC gamer but there are a bunch of rigs that you'll be linked to. While building your own will be cheaper than buying a build with the same specs, it in no way will be cheap. You're looking to spend somewhere between $1000-$2500 depending on how well you want it to run.

That's true, especially with Newegg.

I wasn't expecting anything cheap by any means because good hardware always comes at a price I'm just looking for anything that's a cheaper alternative but works just like any pre-built rig

I might have overshot a bit as Metroid pointed out. There are some good sites that sell cheaply.
