Price will largely depend on whether you are doing the labor or a professional and how far you want to go. I replaced all my chains, guides, and tensioners both primary and secondary, sent the heads out for an overhaul, replaced all gaskets, and some other parts like the coolant pipes. I also had the injectors cleaned while I was at it. I spent a bit over $2200, but did the labor myself.
I was lucky not to have any valve or piston damage damage which would have added a chunk. My chain broke on startup in the driveway. Sounds like you might have the same luck.

Chain replacement
That's the secondary chain that is broken and I can tell you how to replace it for under $100. The real problem is what other damage do you have. With out actually replacing the chain I am not sure how you can tell with out taking it further apart. Here is how I replaced my chain

Look at the second page to see in detail what I did for the chain. Looks like your tensioner is the latest metal one which must have been replaced at some point. Was the chain stretched then? I can see the flat part of the exhaust cam and not on the intake cam. Which means there probably is further damage.
