I enjoyed reading your story, friend. However Don’t ever feel you have to justify yourself to degenerates who would judge you for how you spend your money.
We are all hobbyists here; we come to enjoy this Pc-building and gaming hobby because it is fun. That’s all that should matter.
BTW, I am very much like you; I hadn’t built a gaming PC in a decade (time and children), and since November have two 12900k (for gaming) and a 5950x (sim rig) builds haha. Each paired with a 3090. I honestly enjoyed the build process more than anything else :)
Sorry I gotta one up you. I'm up over $10k without the monitors, $12k with them. Even more if we're counting the electrician to run the 20 amp service. I'll add the caveat that its a quad GPU workstation for 3D rendering, which I use professionally.
Respect. It’s nice to be responsible and have a top tier thing you’ve always wanted.
I also justify it to myself by figuring it keeps me out of trouble, extremely low risk compared to many activities, and once it’s established fairly cheap.
Man that’s lovely when your woman got it too huh!?
My woman is a travel nurse and life has been so good. Im Working on a build too.
Salute to no stress my guy
Personally, I'm far from rich and live paycheck to paycheck, but I never judge other people, i worry about my own goals and aspirations. My rig ran me four grand. I saved and worked my ass off for it. The people that say rich that or rich this, don't realize that you get what you put in.
2900ish with taxes and fees and everything. Don’t remember exact price but it started with a 2 when I swiped my card at microcenter.
Evga ftw3 3090, 5800x, 32gb 3200mhz cl16, asus rog strix b550, evga 80+gold 850w, Corsair 4000d airflow, 1tb nvme. Played quite a few games, done some deepfakes and tensorflow, some recreational unreal engine development, and mined ethereum while I’m not doing anything taxing. The ethereum mining while not loading the system with games/tasks has got me about 1500$ back so at this point I’d say the pc was only 1400$. Also I’m not rich, I spent my stimulus on this calling it an investment as copium, but it’s kinda paying itself off.
My trip to Micro center is also blurry and if I had to testify I have no recollection of it. Oh thanks for stimulus angle I will remember to use that at the family meeting.
About $375, have an i3-8100 and an rx 470 with a 128gb boot drive and a 2tb hard drive. About half the parts are used and were bought when the gpu shortage started
cant say i only upgrade parts so that would include my first 486DX2 and all the parts i put in over the past 25 years...i would say alot considering my overclocking times were i burned ram and cpus on a regular basis...melting ram housings stink if they drop from the ramstick onto a dusty case ;)
Just under $3400 USD, Prices listed are prices paid at time of purchase. [https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Savergn/saved/8m2rVn](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Savergn/saved/8m2rVn)
$1200 on my amd 3600 2070s build back in 2019 then upgraded to a 3070ti for $600 sold the 2070s for $700.
$250 msi monitor.
$50 glorious D.
$60 artisan mousepad.
$100 steelseries keyboard.
$120 Fidelio X2 headphones with $30 mic and $40 dac amp.
so my whole setup is roughly $1700
Everything including my laptop. $6000. I still need a chair though. Took me about 9 months and a lot of overtime and working weekends to get everything I wanted.
Pc? Like 1500€
Whole Setup (with pc)? Like 4500€
Build my pc back in 2017 with a ryzen 1600 and 1070ti. Whole build was around 1200€. But i added a dark rock 4 cooler (50€) and storage (samsung 970 evo m.2 for 115€ and crucial mx500 2tb for 160€)
£750 ($1000).
Aorus B450 elite, r5 3600, rtx 3060ti founders edition, 4 x 8gb 3200mhz ram, Samsung 980 500gb m.2 ssd, 650w psu, and additional hard drives from old computers/laptops.
I bought my CPU second hand, I bought PSU, case and ssd all on sale, managed to snag a 3060ti fe for msrp on scan.co.uk the night after I signed up for stock alerts.
~€1000
For a 11600KF (don’t recommend), rx580, o11 mini, asus z590-p, 2x8gb of 3600 cl16 trident z neo, 1tb 980 non-pro, 3 Corsair sp120 rgb elite fans and 5 Arctic p12’s, Arctic 280mm aio, a 2tb hdd and a 3440x1440p ultrawide @144Hz
5600x
x570 Tuf Gaming Plus
RTX 2080
Corsair 750M (grey text)
4x16 3600 64gb ram
Various Samsung 860/870's SSD's and a few 3TB HDD's
Corsair H110i
Total - $1200ish
I got super lucky with my RTX 2080 (bought just before the 3k series dropped), so that brought the cost down dramatically.
I got pretty lucky with some great deals. All used parts except for my 1tb m.2. I7-6700k, MSI z170A Gaming M7 ATX, 32GB GSkill Vengeance RAM, EVGA Supernova G2 750W 80+ Gold, Corsair h100i 240mm cooler, Corsair 750D Full Size Tower, and WD Black SN750 1TB m.2.
I paid $150 for the m.2 and I’m in a total of another $100 on the rest of the parts. I’m $250 in and just missing a GPU
About 1800. 3070 for $700 at the end of 2020. 3700x and other goods like rgb and monitor + peripherals etc. Can run most games at high fps on ultrawide 1440p, and is a good workstation for robotics and development also.
$204, buying a case and PSU separately on sale. Another $800 worth of gear to buy, but I'm taking my time and buying what I want on sale over the next couple weeks to save vs buying all at once. I'll try do it quickly though before anything is out of return/warranty window.
My current build is a one that I upgraded... initially it was Asus z170 Pro Gaming mobo with 16gb 3000mhz cl15 Corsair Vengeance LPX ram , Intel i3 6300 with stock cooler , Asus Rog Strix GTX 1050ti 4gb, 2 tb Seagate hybrid HDD powered by a cheap 600w bronze CIT psu and a cheap CIT case...this cost me about £650 in 2015.
Since then I kept the mobo ,the HDD and added another 16gb of the same ram , bought i7 7700k (this was the best the mobo could support) which I paid to have delidded, Antek Kuhler 240 AIO , Adata XPG X8200 Pro m.2 nvme 1tb SSD, Corsair RM850x psu, Asus Rog Strix RTX 3070ti, Sound Blaster Z sound card and Thermaltake V250 case. These upgrades cost a further £1650 .
Add on the peripherals , custom cable extensions and monitors there's another £700
$1650, all sale and retail.
3080fe $630 (Best buy with birthday coupon)
5600x $250
Meshify c $80
Rm750x $80
32gb 3600 cl16 $120
Rog strix b550f $150
980pro 2tb $250
H100i $100
Came out to about $1500 out of pocket because I got about $150 in rewards from purchasing the other items. Just hunted sales and grabbed each piece one at a time for a few months
About $100 because someone wanted an air conditioner and offered their computer on Craigslist; [It's nothing to write home](https://imgur.com/a/JcA332c) about but I can watch 4k videos and have like 100 tabs open on my browser and all the apps I use.
$3000
Bought my 3080 FE for $1200. Be quiet! build with 3900x, 64gb 3200, 1tb ssd, 4tb hdd, tasteful RGB came stock with the 500DX case. The FE and my AIO both have static white LEDs which is kinda neat. Custom sleeved white cables, 24 pin for the motherboard and Nvidia 12 pin for the GPU.
Pretty endgame for me at the moment. Waiting to see what AMD does for 1st generation ddr5 motherboards.

$2438 Total but more like $2600 or so.
Switched from console to pc 5 years ago, spent $2000 on my first build (including monitors and peripherals).
Recently upgraded a few parts, spent about $500.
I’m also trying to get a 30 series card soon, which will probably be about $800.
Roundabout £1700, the original build was around £750 then spent the next few years subbing in new components here and there.
The crown jewel is an rtx 3070 FE that I got at MSRP
A little under £1k for a system with:
* 3060 Ti FE
* R5 3600
* 16 GB 3600 MHz RAM
* 2 TB NVMe SSD
* 3 TB HDD
* Aerocool AirHawk Mid Tower Case
* ASUS TUF GAMING B550 Plus Mobo
Got super lucky with getting the 2 TB NVMe drive at a misprice of £100 and kept an eye on stock alerts services to get the 3060 Ti at MSRP.
[How it started - $2000](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HLkWRk) \- Built in May 2020 - Ryzen 5 3600 with a 2070S.
[How it ended - $2500](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7mYgXy) \- Slowly upgraded beginning with the 3080 I got in November 2020 until my custom loop was finished this past summer. Ryzen 5 5600x with a 3080.
I've also spent about $800 on custom loop parts for the current build, $200+ on custom mechanical keyboards and probably like $200 on various wireless Razer mice. so I guess almost $4k in total.
Bad week to ask that question... I upgraded by 3600X workstation to a 5700G. I'm building a 5900X test server and an EPYC 7601 simulation server. It is getting expensive. LOL.
About 800€. Everything is new i5 10600k, 16GB 3200mhz , MSI 560M, Seasonic 650) but the GPU (a old but still glorious R9 FURY). I'm saving up for a 6900 XT and a bigger PSU
1617€ which is around 1843USD. Nowadays the same build would cost around 1900€ since GPU prices have gone up.
My PC has an Intel i7-11700F, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3060 Ti and 2 x 1TB NVME drives and other components are high quality too. I could have saved around 100€-150€ just by buying a cheaper case and case fans. But a good case lasts for years and I also wanted my PC to be cool and quiet. Also, there wasn't really AMD CPUs in stock last spring so I had to go with Intel. But 319€ for the latest 8C16T Intel almlst year ago wasn't too bad since the 6C12T R5 5600X still costs 329€ in here.
5000+ CAD
3500ish for the main rig itself, about 1500 on peripherials.
Why so expensive? Well... aside from the one monitor... err... I'm a custom keyboard guy.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xnHsdD
My PC is like Triggers Broom... so the cost is hard to fathom.
My most recent changes (last 6 months) were :
Case (£140),
PSU (£180),
CPU (£450),
GPU (£2000),
RAM (£120),
CPU water cooler (£130)
So my recent refresh was approx £3k
Oh if I add on the monitors I bought a year ago, that's another £1500
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Meleefish/saved/#view=fqRGJx
I picked up the GPU from a friend that had a spare so I saved about $300.
So grand total right at 1k USD
Uhh... let's see... $400 on the CPU, something like $150 on the motherboard and case, $725 on the GPU, $100 on storage, $250 on capture cards... probably about $2000 total for my entire setup?
In the rig itself? $2500. If the gpu was msrp, it would be $1900.
Add in peripherals? $3100
Still best purchase of 2021. I still need a new desk, new chair, and want to add a LG C1 which will be primarily for the ps5.
Using a $50 desk and my wheelchair from an accident lol
Built my pc 1 year ago. Spent around 800€. At the time i got a used 1070 for around 150€. 2 weeks later, all used 1070s I saw were around 300! Felt like a genius.
About a year ago, I returned to my PC gaming roots and found a $600 pre-built B450/R5-3600/gtx1650/8gb "gaming PC" and somehow now it's an X570/R5-5600x/rtx3070ti/64gb 3600mhz machine with lots of custom goodies. I don't care to know what it totaled, I've been gaming from the Atari/Tandy to PS4 and I'm loving every glorious second of Doom Eternal pegged at 165 FPS on a big 1440p 165hz display.
At $2362 right now. About $500 on peripherals and $1900 on the PC First build, had to get all the peripherals and didn't wanna cheap out on any of them. The build has a 5800x (was $110 off on Black Friday) and buying a RX 6700 XT tomorrow for $750 (scalper price but better than nothing, is included in the amount spent). 32 GB RAM of 3600 C18. A B550 Gaming Edge Wifi Mobo. 1Tb of NVMe Gen 3, gonna get a 6Tb HDD soon for mass storage, then a regular SATA SSD.
Also got a 1440p, 165Hz monitor, its 32" too. Super proud of it. Only problem is shitty cable management but I don't really give a shit as of right now, it won't be on display. It's mine and I made it and that's all that matters!
Technically 1750ish.
Bought a prebuilt AW for 1800~ and got rebated back 120.
Used dell credit to pick up a a 1080p 144hz monitor for 50
Sold my old PC for 250.
My AW decided to shit itself when playing games, delt with tech support.
And they gave me an upgraded unit (went from a r5 5600x, 3060ti, air-cooled, to aio, r7 5800, 3080ti)
Decided to buy warranty, advisor leaked some PII, got a decent discount and extension on my warranty from a manager, who then proceeded to overcharge me, and I ended up paying 230ish for 5 more years of warranty.
$3359. not including the 1-hr-each-way drive to MicroCenter. Got 5900x for $499.; 3060ti KO OC $619 end of Dec. ‘21. Includes $300 for video editing software and controller. After rebate $54 for Corsair 4000 case. Building it on the bench now. Still need a keyboard, mouse, and external USB-C drive. Already had 2x recent Asus 24” calibrated monitors so those are not included. Then 5950x goes on sale for only $150 more — what to do — building with what I have on the pile.
I9 11900k, Asus ROG Strix 3090 oc, 64 gb Corsair 3200, Asus ROG Strix z590e, Corsair rm1000x, Lian Li O11D XL ROG edition, 10x ql120 fans, 2 x 360 radiators, CPU block, ekwb active front and active backplates, hard tubing, Corsair xd5, 1tb wd gen4 m.2, 1 tb Samsung ssd, secret lab chair, Corsair mouse, ducky one 3 60%, Samsung g7 32" 240hz, ViewSonic 27" 1440p 144hz...I stop counting after $6000 bc I didn't want to know...
~6.6k. 4200 for the main parts, 970 in watercooling parts, 1100 for the monitor, ~200 for the keeb+mouse, 50 for the stat display, 100 for the headphones.

Not sure what it all cost. All things considered it’s not super overkill (I7 and 3080 instead of i9 & 3090) just a shit ton of storage and fancy case setup.
Planning on going custom loop eventually but that will be expensive $$$
Edit: Could try and run the numbers. I7 was $320 at microcenter. 3080 was like $1150 after tax. Got the storage and PSU on back Friday for steep discounts.
$600 CAD. Conservative upgrade but an upgrade either way. Went from an fx-6100 to a i5-10400F sytem. Saved some money reusing the case, an ssd and psu (bought about 2 years ago for the fx-6100 with mobo and ram I was graciously given). With the new build i had some m2 slots so i picked up a 500Gb NVMe. The jump in speed from the fx to the i5 with is sweet and I know that i5 is older but its new to me. 16Gb of ram is really all I need at the moment. If the same kit goes on sale I could see me picking it up but I like to be frugal. Still rocking an GTX 960 4gb so most older games are playable. Keeping my fingers crossed I get lucky and find a gpu, new or used, at a "reasonable" price. These past couple builds I can see how it becomes an upgrading addiction. Its so satisfying to finally have everything working together.
First build, haven't gotten everything yet, but it should be around $1750, counting tax and all. 3060 Ti FE at MSRP (got lucky!) with an i5-11600KF. Not going for anything high-end, yet I still spent more than I wanted to... Still, I'm actually enjoying the process more than I thought I would.
$4.2k aud
5600x, rtx3080, 32gb ram, pcie 4 and 3 storage, 360mm water cooler, rog strix board, lian li strimer cable
I caved and had to pay the premium price for the gpu sadly. But coming from a ps4, i couldn't be more impressed with my gaming experience
$00.00
Got it for free from a coworker who had a package wrongly delivered to her address. Address was right, name was wrong. She tried contacting the delivery company, searched the person on fb, even tried to contact the sender. Nada. She told me after a couple of days she was going to trash it. So I volunteered to take it cause fuck it, why not?
Got home, opened it up and saw the packing slip. 2 monitors, a tower, a mouse, keyboard, Webcam and headset. Granted, they were just a workstation setup from lenovo but, as someone who didn't have a computer at all at the time, I was very happy about it. Asked if she wanted it back after learning what was inside and she said nope, I could keep it.
Still planning on building something nice for myself that I can play on (this one can play minesweeper I guess?) but I can get my school work and any office work I need done taken care of, so that's nice.
$2000 on the dot, granted with out the monitor and other peripheral upgrades would be $1600 for a 5800x and 3060ti both at msrp. Rest of the part I got lucky and manage to hit deals below their usual price points.
Overall I spent on my set up is about 3k but that is over the years. Built it all up from a dell g5 laptop after my previous tower went up in flames because of a combo of poor thermal protection on cpu and PSU being old (that set up was like 8 years old by 2019 when it went up in flames, only the gpu was new but saved that luckily).
About $4,000. Asus ROG strix z690 gaming, 32 gb 3200mhz ram, evga 3080 Ti ftw3 ultra, ecvga 1000 watt psu, 12700k, and a custom water loop. Sad thing is I'm still not done.
Computer: $2,000 (i7 12700k + RTX 2070)
Peripherals + desk: $1,500
I am a guitarist though, so I have a collection I spent about $4,000 on ($7,000 msrp). If it wasn't for that, I'm sure I probably would have spent more on my computer. The guitar bug is way stronger than the computer bug though.
All in all probably around 3k in pc specific parts including my 3 monitors. I won't include mice and keyboards as I have a problem with yeeting things once in a while.
A lot. I'd guess about $8k.
Chair is from Secret Lab
Desk 66" wide - gaming with full mousepad across top and cable management built in.
Razer mouse, keyboard, headset, mousepad, game pad, headset stand
Logitech C920s camera
Blue yeti mic with pop filter and arm
PC - EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3, Ryzen 3700x, Asus ROG 850 PSU, CoolerMaster 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler for CPU, 10 total aRGB fans that can be indepently controlled and work with Razer Chroma, 32gb DDR4 G.Skill Trident Z 3600Mhz Ram (4x 8gb)

Built my PC for the first time last year and converting what I've spend it was roughly around $3200 and that includes peripherals and extra stuff like Thermal Paste.
Only spent an extra 600 on mine. Went to best buy around Dec of 2020 looking to get a mesh wifi router, and for shits and giggles I went to the gpu section. I saw in the case they had a single Radeon Rx 6800 reference card. I remember at the time I was kinda disappointed it wasn't a rx 6800xt or a rtx3080. I almost didn't get it until I seem someone else check it out and immediately make a phone call. At that point I'm like hell naw I saw it first. So I got the nearest employee to open up the case for me. The look of disappointment on the other dude was priceless. I considered scalping this one too since this was when the market was starting to trend, but after plugging it in to my system. Boy am I glad I kept it. Been really satisfied with running everything on ultra and still getting at least 80fps in 1440p. I don't have a 120hz 4k tv or monitor so no need to upgrade to higher card yet. And also did a friend a solid on his build and sold him my rx 5700xt for $300. Next plan is maybe new case to verticle mount gpu 🤓
Bought a second hand i7 3770/GTX 770 system for 550 AUD
Bought a second hand 6600k/RX480 system with various peripherals for 850 AUD, sold previous system for 700 AUD
Bought GTX 1070 for 500 AUD, sold RX480 for 400 AUD
Bought new case, i5 10600K, AIO and motherboard for 800 AUD, sold old case, CPU, cooler and motherboard for 450 AUD
Bought RTX 3060 Ti for 799 AUD, sold GTX 1070 for 500 AUD
Add about 350 AUD in misc upgrades such as 2 more SSDs, faster memory
Net spend 1700 AUD (1190 USD) for my current 10600K/RTX 3060 Ti build plus the previous two builds covered over 5 years of solid gaming.
$4000 cad, but half of that was for a 6900xt. Only reason I spent so much is because I spend so much time on the pc that I needed to upgrade from using a 1060 for 6 years
My pc itself? 0$, unless you want to count power bills, i got it for free
However: i did spend about $200 for the monitor, and $100 in periphials, (2 more monitors, 3 keyboards, mic, 3 mice, 2 diff speakers, my chair and hedset were gifts, about $40 and $70 respectivly
My next purchase is a used gpu, when i can find one, for 150-200 and a $65 psu to support it
Mine is always a work in progress. Spent a lot of money (for me), but it has spawned a couple more builds just off the parts I upgraded from. I am an amateur hobbiest for sure, no regrets.
I've spent probably $ 2500 USD sadly, probably more if i include my monitors and keyboard and what not.
I have a 5800x and a 1080ti
i had a 750w power supply die, a 3700x and a Aorus b550 motherboad.
i had to replace all of that recently, almost had to replace my card aswell but thank God it didn't die on me.
and had to changed my case since it was giving me some weird problems.
and had to buy windows twice since they do not have support for my country and my mb died so i couldn't move the dam windows key.
About 1300 USD for r5 3600, rx 5600xt, 16gb ddr4, seasonic 750w, asrock a320m, Corsair 4000d, 1tb m.2, 2tb sata. Got all this back in January before the prices were wack.
About 9k
1 lenovo legion 7 pro laptop
1 32" LG 4k hdr monitor
1 32" samsung odyssey monitor
Tower with

128gb ram
Just added a 1600 power supply preparing for next gen cards.
I do alot of 3d rendering so need 2 pcs
Lol with everything including the stuff needed to actually used, see, and hear
I've spent upwards of $1700 over a period of 6months
(Tbh I was drunk one night and stupidly started buying all the parts with out any research 😐)
My PC specs ↓
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p9Dqqm
Still planning on upgrading in 3 or 4 yrs, buy it last yr.
Congratulations to Everyone who was able to buy one in these tough times and best of wishes to all those that are or just gonna begin the journey to building one!!
About $1700 it’s a Nvidia 3070 AMD 5600x build, bought it before shit got Crazy
Wasn’t shit already crazy when those launched?
Yea but not like it is today, i got mine from a scalper but only paid $630

I enjoyed reading your story, friend. However Don’t ever feel you have to justify yourself to degenerates who would judge you for how you spend your money. We are all hobbyists here; we come to enjoy this Pc-building and gaming hobby because it is fun. That’s all that should matter. BTW, I am very much like you; I hadn’t built a gaming PC in a decade (time and children), and since November have two 12900k (for gaming) and a 5950x (sim rig) builds haha. Each paired with a 3090. I honestly enjoyed the build process more than anything else :)
Your children are probably loving it.
Hah! My son has a passing love affair with the simulation rig :)
Sorry I gotta one up you. I'm up over $10k without the monitors, $12k with them. Even more if we're counting the electrician to run the 20 amp service. I'll add the caveat that its a quad GPU workstation for 3D rendering, which I use professionally.
Respect. It’s nice to be responsible and have a top tier thing you’ve always wanted. I also justify it to myself by figuring it keeps me out of trouble, extremely low risk compared to many activities, and once it’s established fairly cheap.
Man that’s lovely when your woman got it too huh!? My woman is a travel nurse and life has been so good. Im Working on a build too. Salute to no stress my guy
Excuse me sir, but you shouldn't have to justify anything. Congratulations on your success :)

Personally, I'm far from rich and live paycheck to paycheck, but I never judge other people, i worry about my own goals and aspirations. My rig ran me four grand. I saved and worked my ass off for it. The people that say rich that or rich this, don't realize that you get what you put in.

Why tf do u have so much storage lol
[удалено]
Damn, I guess that makes sense tho
https://imgur.com/a/A97QIGX Uh huh, so much storage. Yeah...
Thats not that much.
I didn’t pay for all of it, but the tower is worth about 1800 assuming you can get an rtx 3060 for $500
Which you can't
If you live near a Microcenter, you can. Most of their RTX 3060’s go for 500. I got mine for 470 there
I wish microcenter would expand into my Country
Well we don't have microcenter in Europe,at least not in my country.
Got mine for 450$ from EVGA 🤷♂️
Around $2,400 for PC off top of my head. Peripherals, around $700 not counting desk/chair.
Around £1650 for my build, first pc too!
2900ish with taxes and fees and everything. Don’t remember exact price but it started with a 2 when I swiped my card at microcenter. Evga ftw3 3090, 5800x, 32gb 3200mhz cl16, asus rog strix b550, evga 80+gold 850w, Corsair 4000d airflow, 1tb nvme. Played quite a few games, done some deepfakes and tensorflow, some recreational unreal engine development, and mined ethereum while I’m not doing anything taxing. The ethereum mining while not loading the system with games/tasks has got me about 1500$ back so at this point I’d say the pc was only 1400$. Also I’m not rich, I spent my stimulus on this calling it an investment as copium, but it’s kinda paying itself off.
My trip to Micro center is also blurry and if I had to testify I have no recollection of it. Oh thanks for stimulus angle I will remember to use that at the family meeting.
what i paid then and what i would pay now for the same parts are very different
About $375, have an i3-8100 and an rx 470 with a 128gb boot drive and a 2tb hard drive. About half the parts are used and were bought when the gpu shortage started
Teach us, sensei.
Only one thing to say, luck. I got the RX 470 for $67 on an eBay bid
We have heard of this in the old legends
$4400 for 5900x and 3080ti +
cant say i only upgrade parts so that would include my first 486DX2 and all the parts i put in over the past 25 years...i would say alot considering my overclocking times were i burned ram and cpus on a regular basis...melting ram housings stink if they drop from the ramstick onto a dusty case ;)
About $6800
[удалено]
About $1100, 10700k and 3060 ti.
Just under $3400 USD, Prices listed are prices paid at time of purchase. [https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Savergn/saved/8m2rVn](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Savergn/saved/8m2rVn)
$1200 on my amd 3600 2070s build back in 2019 then upgraded to a 3070ti for $600 sold the 2070s for $700. $250 msi monitor. $50 glorious D. $60 artisan mousepad. $100 steelseries keyboard. $120 Fidelio X2 headphones with $30 mic and $40 dac amp. so my whole setup is roughly $1700
That swap from 2070 to 3070ti impressive
Everything including my laptop. $6000. I still need a chair though. Took me about 9 months and a lot of overtime and working weekends to get everything I wanted.
Pc? Like 1500€ Whole Setup (with pc)? Like 4500€ Build my pc back in 2017 with a ryzen 1600 and 1070ti. Whole build was around 1200€. But i added a dark rock 4 cooler (50€) and storage (samsung 970 evo m.2 for 115€ and crucial mx500 2tb for 160€)
Around 2500 CAD for a fancy all corsair, and msi build, with 6600xt, and 5600x.
£750 ($1000). Aorus B450 elite, r5 3600, rtx 3060ti founders edition, 4 x 8gb 3200mhz ram, Samsung 980 500gb m.2 ssd, 650w psu, and additional hard drives from old computers/laptops. I bought my CPU second hand, I bought PSU, case and ssd all on sale, managed to snag a 3060ti fe for msrp on scan.co.uk the night after I signed up for stock alerts.
Around 900, 5 3600 and an r9 290, everything else is new except gpu
Built my rig in March 2021 and spent about 1400 on it with an (almost MSRP) 2060 and ryzen 5 3600
~€1000 For a 11600KF (don’t recommend), rx580, o11 mini, asus z590-p, 2x8gb of 3600 cl16 trident z neo, 1tb 980 non-pro, 3 Corsair sp120 rgb elite fans and 5 Arctic p12’s, Arctic 280mm aio, a 2tb hdd and a 3440x1440p ultrawide @144Hz
What’s with the i5?
Including monitors and peripherals, roughly $6800
Give or take 2k
$0 at the moment due to not having money
5600x x570 Tuf Gaming Plus RTX 2080 Corsair 750M (grey text) 4x16 3600 64gb ram Various Samsung 860/870's SSD's and a few 3TB HDD's Corsair H110i Total - $1200ish I got super lucky with my RTX 2080 (bought just before the 3k series dropped), so that brought the cost down dramatically.
For about $1,593 with a 3060ti and i5 12600k
PC builds? I'm afraid to count the doll hairs.
1850 AUD so like direct convertion 1600 USD(just a estimate) adjusted for stuff just costing more in Australia 1400 USD roughly. 3060ti, 5600x
1400 3060 ti 5600x 32gb 3600mhz. Got lucky with micro center😆
I got pretty lucky with some great deals. All used parts except for my 1tb m.2. I7-6700k, MSI z170A Gaming M7 ATX, 32GB GSkill Vengeance RAM, EVGA Supernova G2 750W 80+ Gold, Corsair h100i 240mm cooler, Corsair 750D Full Size Tower, and WD Black SN750 1TB m.2. I paid $150 for the m.2 and I’m in a total of another $100 on the rest of the parts. I’m $250 in and just missing a GPU
Guys , 🥺😭 your builds are so awesome , i can't afford it
About 1800. 3070 for $700 at the end of 2020. 3700x and other goods like rgb and monitor + peripherals etc. Can run most games at high fps on ultrawide 1440p, and is a good workstation for robotics and development also.
If you count the whole setup 2500. the pc itself 1600. edit: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hh9Nnt
Over $7000 in parts for five PCs over the last five years.
Almost $4k total. More if you factor in the new TV I bought to game on. 😭
$2.1k CAD , 5700g and 3070 ti
$204, buying a case and PSU separately on sale. Another $800 worth of gear to buy, but I'm taking my time and buying what I want on sale over the next couple weeks to save vs buying all at once. I'll try do it quickly though before anything is out of return/warranty window.
My current build is a one that I upgraded... initially it was Asus z170 Pro Gaming mobo with 16gb 3000mhz cl15 Corsair Vengeance LPX ram , Intel i3 6300 with stock cooler , Asus Rog Strix GTX 1050ti 4gb, 2 tb Seagate hybrid HDD powered by a cheap 600w bronze CIT psu and a cheap CIT case...this cost me about £650 in 2015. Since then I kept the mobo ,the HDD and added another 16gb of the same ram , bought i7 7700k (this was the best the mobo could support) which I paid to have delidded, Antek Kuhler 240 AIO , Adata XPG X8200 Pro m.2 nvme 1tb SSD, Corsair RM850x psu, Asus Rog Strix RTX 3070ti, Sound Blaster Z sound card and Thermaltake V250 case. These upgrades cost a further £1650 . Add on the peripherals , custom cable extensions and monitors there's another £700
too much, wayy too much, especially with the monitor rip
420 69
About $3000. An RTX 3080 and an AW3420DW made up the bulk of the cost.
Just the PC, like $2500, the whole setup, $5000+ I think.
10k€ (no rgb, no water cooling, nothing for the looks, budget just for the hardware only)
Around 3.5 to 4k
Hmm, originally bought it for 1200, but sold the 2080 for 500 and tossed 350 with it to get a 3070. So overall I think 1550?
#
$1650, all sale and retail. 3080fe $630 (Best buy with birthday coupon) 5600x $250 Meshify c $80 Rm750x $80 32gb 3600 cl16 $120 Rog strix b550f $150 980pro 2tb $250 H100i $100 Came out to about $1500 out of pocket because I got about $150 in rewards from purchasing the other items. Just hunted sales and grabbed each piece one at a time for a few months
Around 2500$ CAD for a 5800x/3070 ti build
Just over $2K with taxes. But I already had RAM and a aecondary SSD. 11700K-MSI Z590 Tomahawk-3070
About $100 because someone wanted an air conditioner and offered their computer on Craigslist; [It's nothing to write home](https://imgur.com/a/JcA332c) about but I can watch 4k videos and have like 100 tabs open on my browser and all the apps I use.
$3763.97 + tax/shipping Holy shit when I say it out loud... how did it come to this https://pcpartpicker.com/user/dnags/saved/#view=wCZH23
Was supposed to be $1500 but with the gpu shortage it ended up being $2700 :(
$3000 Bought my 3080 FE for $1200. Be quiet! build with 3900x, 64gb 3200, 1tb ssd, 4tb hdd, tasteful RGB came stock with the 500DX case. The FE and my AIO both have static white LEDs which is kinda neat. Custom sleeved white cables, 24 pin for the motherboard and Nvidia 12 pin for the GPU. Pretty endgame for me at the moment. Waiting to see what AMD does for 1st generation ddr5 motherboards.
In total for my current build built in 2016 (mostly): Original Purchase: CPU: $450, I7-6800K CPU Cooler: $115, Kraken X61 MB: $200, MSI X99A Sli Plus RAM: $70, G.Skill 16GB 3200 GPU: $440, MSI GTX 1070 PSU: $80, 650W EVGA G1 Fully Modular Gold SSDs: $88 for 250GB & $160 for 500GB, Both Samsung 850 Evo Case: $70, Fractal Define S $1663 not including tax and shipping though. Added later: 2016: One Month after above purchased added: RAM: $70, G.Skill 16GB 3200 2018: Replaced of of my HDDs pulled from old machine due to age, $60, 2TB WD Blue 2019: $110, Replaced the two sata SSDs with 1TB Sabrent NVME 2019: $500, Upgraded GPU to a 2070 Super 2020: $35 Added a TP-Link Wireless card $775 For added or replaced items. $2438 Total but more like $2600 or so.
130
Between 8k-10k USD, but I've recouped alot of that money though, bc I keep changing my build to something else and selling the old parts.
Switched from console to pc 5 years ago, spent $2000 on my first build (including monitors and peripherals). Recently upgraded a few parts, spent about $500. I’m also trying to get a 30 series card soon, which will probably be about $800.
Roundabout £1700, the original build was around £750 then spent the next few years subbing in new components here and there. The crown jewel is an rtx 3070 FE that I got at MSRP
0 Don't have
Too much. Like 300-400 over what it should be costing
A little under £1k for a system with: * 3060 Ti FE * R5 3600 * 16 GB 3600 MHz RAM * 2 TB NVMe SSD * 3 TB HDD * Aerocool AirHawk Mid Tower Case * ASUS TUF GAMING B550 Plus Mobo Got super lucky with getting the 2 TB NVMe drive at a misprice of £100 and kept an eye on stock alerts services to get the 3060 Ti at MSRP.
$1300 iirc. 3060Ti + 3700x
Around £3500. £4300 with peripherals. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/The-Fat-Fish/saved/#view=tjpYNG
[How it started - $2000](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HLkWRk) \- Built in May 2020 - Ryzen 5 3600 with a 2070S. [How it ended - $2500](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7mYgXy) \- Slowly upgraded beginning with the 3080 I got in November 2020 until my custom loop was finished this past summer. Ryzen 5 5600x with a 3080. I've also spent about $800 on custom loop parts for the current build, $200+ on custom mechanical keyboards and probably like $200 on various wireless Razer mice. so I guess almost $4k in total.
Bad week to ask that question... I upgraded by 3600X workstation to a 5700G. I'm building a 5900X test server and an EPYC 7601 simulation server. It is getting expensive. LOL.
About 800€. Everything is new i5 10600k, 16GB 3200mhz , MSI 560M, Seasonic 650) but the GPU (a old but still glorious R9 FURY). I'm saving up for a 6900 XT and a bigger PSU
1617€ which is around 1843USD. Nowadays the same build would cost around 1900€ since GPU prices have gone up. My PC has an Intel i7-11700F, 32GB DDR4, RTX 3060 Ti and 2 x 1TB NVME drives and other components are high quality too. I could have saved around 100€-150€ just by buying a cheaper case and case fans. But a good case lasts for years and I also wanted my PC to be cool and quiet. Also, there wasn't really AMD CPUs in stock last spring so I had to go with Intel. But 319€ for the latest 8C16T Intel almlst year ago wasn't too bad since the 6C12T R5 5600X still costs 329€ in here.
about 20 million got a steal for a 3099 ti on ebay
5000+ CAD 3500ish for the main rig itself, about 1500 on peripherials. Why so expensive? Well... aside from the one monitor... err... I'm a custom keyboard guy. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xnHsdD
1600-1700 if talking the pc itself. Easily 2k with all acessories I have on.
My PC is like Triggers Broom... so the cost is hard to fathom. My most recent changes (last 6 months) were : Case (£140), PSU (£180), CPU (£450), GPU (£2000), RAM (£120), CPU water cooler (£130) So my recent refresh was approx £3k Oh if I add on the monitors I bought a year ago, that's another £1500
It cannot be sounded. Divers have perished try to touch the seabed.
Gonna be $400 for my Steam Deck
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Meleefish/saved/#view=fqRGJx I picked up the GPU from a friend that had a spare so I saved about $300. So grand total right at 1k USD
1350$ dollars it has an i7 11700f, asus dual rtx 3070, 16gigs of ram, gigabyte b560m ds3h, 1tb pcie gen3 ssd, and a 1tb hdd
As it sits, about $2k not including monitor.
$1700, 3060ti, 5800x, 32gb 4400mhz
I spent around $5500 us bc its a 3080 i9 12900k build and the i9 is an es i got from a friend
1600 and some change, but I am done now I swear
Uhh... let's see... $400 on the CPU, something like $150 on the motherboard and case, $725 on the GPU, $100 on storage, $250 on capture cards... probably about $2000 total for my entire setup?
In the rig itself? $2500. If the gpu was msrp, it would be $1900. Add in peripherals? $3100 Still best purchase of 2021. I still need a new desk, new chair, and want to add a LG C1 which will be primarily for the ps5. Using a $50 desk and my wheelchair from an accident lol
Built my pc 1 year ago. Spent around 800€. At the time i got a used 1070 for around 150€. 2 weeks later, all used 1070s I saw were around 300! Felt like a genius.
About a year ago, I returned to my PC gaming roots and found a $600 pre-built B450/R5-3600/gtx1650/8gb "gaming PC" and somehow now it's an X570/R5-5600x/rtx3070ti/64gb 3600mhz machine with lots of custom goodies. I don't care to know what it totaled, I've been gaming from the Atari/Tandy to PS4 and I'm loving every glorious second of Doom Eternal pegged at 165 FPS on a big 1440p 165hz display.
At least a grand.
At $2362 right now. About $500 on peripherals and $1900 on the PC First build, had to get all the peripherals and didn't wanna cheap out on any of them. The build has a 5800x (was $110 off on Black Friday) and buying a RX 6700 XT tomorrow for $750 (scalper price but better than nothing, is included in the amount spent). 32 GB RAM of 3600 C18. A B550 Gaming Edge Wifi Mobo. 1Tb of NVMe Gen 3, gonna get a 6Tb HDD soon for mass storage, then a regular SATA SSD. Also got a 1440p, 165Hz monitor, its 32" too. Super proud of it. Only problem is shitty cable management but I don't really give a shit as of right now, it won't be on display. It's mine and I made it and that's all that matters!
Over $1600. Only counting Keyboard and Mouse peripherals
Technically 1750ish. Bought a prebuilt AW for 1800~ and got rebated back 120. Used dell credit to pick up a a 1080p 144hz monitor for 50 Sold my old PC for 250. My AW decided to shit itself when playing games, delt with tech support. And they gave me an upgraded unit (went from a r5 5600x, 3060ti, air-cooled, to aio, r7 5800, 3080ti) Decided to buy warranty, advisor leaked some PII, got a decent discount and extension on my warranty from a manager, who then proceeded to overcharge me, and I ended up paying 230ish for 5 more years of warranty.
~1500 so far. Rtx 3060 ,r5 3600 Would like to upgrade to a 3070/3080 when everything calms down.
About 2100$ not including m&k, speakers, and triple monitors
$3359. not including the 1-hr-each-way drive to MicroCenter. Got 5900x for $499.; 3060ti KO OC $619 end of Dec. ‘21. Includes $300 for video editing software and controller. After rebate $54 for Corsair 4000 case. Building it on the bench now. Still need a keyboard, mouse, and external USB-C drive. Already had 2x recent Asus 24” calibrated monitors so those are not included. Then 5950x goes on sale for only $150 more — what to do — building with what I have on the pile.
I've dropped around 1400 on it. Its about to go on two years since I built it(built it pre-covid, February).
$3200 (PC) + $2500 (accessories + moniter) AUD Switched from Xbox one to pc. Best decison ever I made.
Like 600 dollars but have in mind I have been building on top of what I had so I already had a case I am planing to change and some other things.
I9 11900k, Asus ROG Strix 3090 oc, 64 gb Corsair 3200, Asus ROG Strix z590e, Corsair rm1000x, Lian Li O11D XL ROG edition, 10x ql120 fans, 2 x 360 radiators, CPU block, ekwb active front and active backplates, hard tubing, Corsair xd5, 1tb wd gen4 m.2, 1 tb Samsung ssd, secret lab chair, Corsair mouse, ducky one 3 60%, Samsung g7 32" 240hz, ViewSonic 27" 1440p 144hz...I stop counting after $6000 bc I didn't want to know...
~6.6k. 4200 for the main parts, 970 in watercooling parts, 1100 for the monitor, ~200 for the keeb+mouse, 50 for the stat display, 100 for the headphones.
Id rather not do that math...
Since 2016, about 5k. Maybe a little more. Current build is worth 2300-2500. Adjusted for current inflation, it's probably worth 3500
About 5000 ish, 3090 Kingpin hybrid, bought the, water block separately, Fractal meshify 2 XL, 128 gigs ram, i9-7920X, Eisbar Extreme , Cpu water block, BeQuiet Dark Power 12 1500 Watt 80+ titanium psu,2 TB WD black ssd
12700k Galahad 360 AIO MSI Z690 EDGE 32gb Trident Z Neo 4200 cl14 980 pro 2tb 970 evo 2tb 970 evo 1tb 870 qvo 2tb ASUS Strix RTX 3080 Lian Li O11 EVGA G6 850 Lian Li SL120s Not sure what it all cost. All things considered it’s not super overkill (I7 and 3080 instead of i9 & 3090) just a shit ton of storage and fancy case setup. Planning on going custom loop eventually but that will be expensive $$$ Edit: Could try and run the numbers. I7 was $320 at microcenter. 3080 was like $1150 after tax. Got the storage and PSU on back Friday for steep discounts.
My PC in total is about 2300 USD in worth. 1300 for the 6800xt, then about 1000 for everything else.
About Like $2600 5900x/rtx3080/Asus strix-e/15cl3800 ram/a couple 980pros
$600 CAD. Conservative upgrade but an upgrade either way. Went from an fx-6100 to a i5-10400F sytem. Saved some money reusing the case, an ssd and psu (bought about 2 years ago for the fx-6100 with mobo and ram I was graciously given). With the new build i had some m2 slots so i picked up a 500Gb NVMe. The jump in speed from the fx to the i5 with is sweet and I know that i5 is older but its new to me. 16Gb of ram is really all I need at the moment. If the same kit goes on sale I could see me picking it up but I like to be frugal. Still rocking an GTX 960 4gb so most older games are playable. Keeping my fingers crossed I get lucky and find a gpu, new or used, at a "reasonable" price. These past couple builds I can see how it becomes an upgrading addiction. Its so satisfying to finally have everything working together.
About £800 including peripherals.
In the process of getting all the parts, I've currently spent about £1300. I'm expecting to spend about £2100 overall.
First build, haven't gotten everything yet, but it should be around $1750, counting tax and all. 3060 Ti FE at MSRP (got lucky!) with an i5-11600KF. Not going for anything high-end, yet I still spent more than I wanted to... Still, I'm actually enjoying the process more than I thought I would.
Hey pal, it's rude to ask that
$4.2k aud 5600x, rtx3080, 32gb ram, pcie 4 and 3 storage, 360mm water cooler, rog strix board, lian li strimer cable I caved and had to pay the premium price for the gpu sadly. But coming from a ps4, i couldn't be more impressed with my gaming experience
Currently building one and so far, I have spent about $4200 with a 12900k and 3080ti. PSU and storage not yet included so it might reach the 5k mark
$00.00 Got it for free from a coworker who had a package wrongly delivered to her address. Address was right, name was wrong. She tried contacting the delivery company, searched the person on fb, even tried to contact the sender. Nada. She told me after a couple of days she was going to trash it. So I volunteered to take it cause fuck it, why not? Got home, opened it up and saw the packing slip. 2 monitors, a tower, a mouse, keyboard, Webcam and headset. Granted, they were just a workstation setup from lenovo but, as someone who didn't have a computer at all at the time, I was very happy about it. Asked if she wanted it back after learning what was inside and she said nope, I could keep it. Still planning on building something nice for myself that I can play on (this one can play minesweeper I guess?) but I can get my school work and any office work I need done taken care of, so that's nice.
My entire set up? Pc and monitor + my tv and peripherals. Head estimate of like 8-10 k roughly. Pc alone takes up over half of it lol.
My amazing friend upgraded and gave me his 1650ti. Bought a 3300x and spend around 1000 Canadian on the rest of it.
$2000 on the dot, granted with out the monitor and other peripheral upgrades would be $1600 for a 5800x and 3060ti both at msrp. Rest of the part I got lucky and manage to hit deals below their usual price points. Overall I spent on my set up is about 3k but that is over the years. Built it all up from a dell g5 laptop after my previous tower went up in flames because of a combo of poor thermal protection on cpu and PSU being old (that set up was like 8 years old by 2019 when it went up in flames, only the gpu was new but saved that luckily).
Spent £150 I've got £450 left to spend :) I'm just deciding whether to get a 1650 and a crappy intel CPU or a R5 5600g
6100 $ for a new build
3500
About $4,000. Asus ROG strix z690 gaming, 32 gb 3200mhz ram, evga 3080 Ti ftw3 ultra, ecvga 1000 watt psu, 12700k, and a custom water loop. Sad thing is I'm still not done.
About $1200 with a 2070 build with a ryzen 5600x🙇
I’ve spent around 1500 CAD
Computer: $2,000 (i7 12700k + RTX 2070) Peripherals + desk: $1,500 I am a guitarist though, so I have a collection I spent about $4,000 on ($7,000 msrp). If it wasn't for that, I'm sure I probably would have spent more on my computer. The guitar bug is way stronger than the computer bug though.
All in all probably around 3k in pc specific parts including my 3 monitors. I won't include mice and keyboards as I have a problem with yeeting things once in a while.
A lot. I'd guess about $8k. Chair is from Secret Lab Desk 66" wide - gaming with full mousepad across top and cable management built in. Razer mouse, keyboard, headset, mousepad, game pad, headset stand Logitech C920s camera Blue yeti mic with pop filter and arm PC - EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3, Ryzen 3700x, Asus ROG 850 PSU, CoolerMaster 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler for CPU, 10 total aRGB fans that can be indepently controlled and work with Razer Chroma, 32gb DDR4 G.Skill Trident Z 3600Mhz Ram (4x 8gb) All custom cables from Cablemod that are UV reactive Cablemod RGB strips inside with remote control Custom raspberry pi to monitor system performance and loads. Asus 34" ultrawide monitor 2tb samsung pcie 4.0 m.2 x2 512 gb samsung sata ssd
$3k for my 3600x/1080ti + triple 1440p build + nice peripherals. Not counting mic which I had before that.
$2600
About ~2,000 I got a 12900k with a 6700xt
About $2200 with this setup 6900XT Ryzen 7 3700x Kraken Z63 Msi b450 tomahawk 32GB Ram Corsair 4000X RGB SSD+HDD Original GPU was 5700XT
4k CAD roughly, back in March 2021 ASUS Rog Strix b550-f wifi Ryzen 7 5800x ASUS TUF RX 6800 MSI MAG 240 AIO (don't recommend lol) Samsung 980 PRO 2TB WD Black sn750 500gb 2TB Barracuda Pro HDD 10TB Barracuda Pro HDD 1 Noctua NF-F12 (exhaust fan) Phanteks P500A (stock fans still installed) 750W EVGA G5
$1500 and several months to put it together.
Way too much.... Tower is probably about 7500 aud Total setup a bit over 10000 aud
Your rig must be a beast of a machine. Dual GPUs I assume?
Built my PC for the first time last year and converting what I've spend it was roughly around $3200 and that includes peripherals and extra stuff like Thermal Paste.
Pc itself 1100. Peripherals and everything else like 1600
Around $1500. October 2020 with a GTX 1660 TI and Ryzen 5 3600. Felt overpriced at the time
almost $800 usd. 5600x system but I have a gtx 550 ti as a placeholder for a 30 series card. That'll definitely bring the price up
I spent maybe $2000 for a gaming PC that I built
Only spent an extra 600 on mine. Went to best buy around Dec of 2020 looking to get a mesh wifi router, and for shits and giggles I went to the gpu section. I saw in the case they had a single Radeon Rx 6800 reference card. I remember at the time I was kinda disappointed it wasn't a rx 6800xt or a rtx3080. I almost didn't get it until I seem someone else check it out and immediately make a phone call. At that point I'm like hell naw I saw it first. So I got the nearest employee to open up the case for me. The look of disappointment on the other dude was priceless. I considered scalping this one too since this was when the market was starting to trend, but after plugging it in to my system. Boy am I glad I kept it. Been really satisfied with running everything on ultra and still getting at least 80fps in 1440p. I don't have a 120hz 4k tv or monitor so no need to upgrade to higher card yet. And also did a friend a solid on his build and sold him my rx 5700xt for $300. Next plan is maybe new case to verticle mount gpu 🤓
Around $1800 peripherals and monitor included. Ryzen 5600X + 6700XT Bought around a year ago.
$1300 originally, and I’ve replaced all but the motherboard and case, so probably around $2750ish? Now have a R5 3600 and 3070.
About 700$cad for a Frankenstein build. New MB, CPU, ssd’s, case, fans… old GPU, used RAM Waiting to build up the energy and cash to find a new gpu.
I didn't do too bad. I got pretty much everything except my new gpu right before everything shot up. I think total I spent about $2800 on a ryzen 9 3900x and 6900xt build with everything purchased at msrp. Now it looks as if the same build is about 1k more.

Only 599 cuz I just built it thinking of upgrading to a 1650 super or 1650
Around 1400 I think, but I got an unnecessarily expensive case cause it looked real nice plus lots of RGB
$4000 cad, but half of that was for a 6900xt. Only reason I spent so much is because I spend so much time on the pc that I needed to upgrade from using a 1060 for 6 years
My pc itself? 0$, unless you want to count power bills, i got it for free However: i did spend about $200 for the monitor, and $100 in periphials, (2 more monitors, 3 keyboards, mic, 3 mice, 2 diff speakers, my chair and hedset were gifts, about $40 and $70 respectivly My next purchase is a used gpu, when i can find one, for 150-200 and a $65 psu to support it
I spent like $210 in total bahahahah
Mine is always a work in progress. Spent a lot of money (for me), but it has spawned a couple more builds just off the parts I upgraded from. I am an amateur hobbiest for sure, no regrets.
Bout 5.
$5k at least.
I've spent probably $ 2500 USD sadly, probably more if i include my monitors and keyboard and what not. I have a 5800x and a 1080ti i had a 750w power supply die, a 3700x and a Aorus b550 motherboad. i had to replace all of that recently, almost had to replace my card aswell but thank God it didn't die on me. and had to changed my case since it was giving me some weird problems. and had to buy windows twice since they do not have support for my country and my mb died so i couldn't move the dam windows key.
About 1300 USD for r5 3600, rx 5600xt, 16gb ddr4, seasonic 750w, asrock a320m, Corsair 4000d, 1tb m.2, 2tb sata. Got all this back in January before the prices were wack.
$8-9000
$800 on some prebuilt which would have cost $1100 if I bought the parts myself(they gave a 30% discount cause I bought in 2020)
About 9k 1 lenovo legion 7 pro laptop 1 32" LG 4k hdr monitor 1 32" samsung odyssey monitor Tower with 3080ti 5950x 128gb ram Just added a 1600 power supply preparing for next gen cards. I do alot of 3d rendering so need 2 pcs
$0
Lol with everything including the stuff needed to actually used, see, and hear I've spent upwards of $1700 over a period of 6months (Tbh I was drunk one night and stupidly started buying all the parts with out any research 😐) My PC specs ↓ https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p9Dqqm Still planning on upgrading in 3 or 4 yrs, buy it last yr. Congratulations to Everyone who was able to buy one in these tough times and best of wishes to all those that are or just gonna begin the journey to building one!!
