As an approximation, a low-end PC is a PC less than £300. Mid-range is anything between £300 and £600. High-end is anything above £600.
Of course, this definition gets fudged depending on what you're spending the money on. If your PC comes in a super fancy titanium case and costs £600, it's probably not a very impressive computer.
As for a non-time-relative definition. These descriptions will be a bit overly specific but they will be 3 examples, one in each category.
Low-end: 2 GB of RAM, a dual core 2.5 ghz AMD cpu, an integrated GPU, and about 250 GB of hard drive space.
Mid-range: 4-6 GB of RAM, a quad core 3.6 GHZ AMD cpu, a graphics card with 1 or 2 GB of VRAM capable of around 1-2 TFlop/s, and 0.5-1 TB of HDD space.
High-end: 8 GB of RAM or more, a quad core Intel core i7 CPU or better, a graphics card with 3 GB of VRAM or more that is capable of 3 TFlop/s or more, and 1 TB or more of HDD space and maybe also 128 or more GB of SDD.
Of course that will all be different in a year, and then the year after even more so.
