This build cost me around 1600 USD (I moved over a few parts from the old hackintosh (2x HDD, WiFi card, GPU). So around 2000 with those. I already had the two monitors (for many years now) too.

A Mac Pro with the 8-core CPU, 48GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, the Promise bay for 2x HDDs runs around 7200 USD.
Perhaps the closest comparison is to throw in a 5K screen making it (say) $2500 with the Hackintosh and compare with an iMac (Non-Pro) with 64Gb non-ECC. It’s around half the cost, plus you get to keep the screen.
Thanks a lot!
