You will have to go for a used computer then.
Without knowing what exactly you will do with the computer, it is impossible to establish where you should land in term of the computer power.
Performance computers are mostly in $1,500 range with latest hardware. But if you choose an used computer, what you can save up would be sufficient to improve the performance, such as SSD, memory, extra graphic card.
Again - how much you can save really depends on what you intend to do and how old you can tolerate. Old computers may not have good benchmarks. But their performance ain't bad.
