Do you buy lower end computers or do you buy higher end computers?

Any of you into high end tech or high end consumer PCs in the $2,000+ realm?

I spent over $3,000 (don't care to much saying this, but not fun to admit I guess to) on my PC this last time round. It's basically the best you can get for 1 Graphics card (since you can't stack much of the stuff anyways when it comes to multiple cards plus I'm not rich either).

I own a $100 phone though and I don't spend money on TV or cable for that matter. So $50 a month over 3 years alone is $1,800 that I can put into a computer anyways or it pays for over half my computer alone. Plus the fact that a TV can be $500 to $1,000 or so. So that's basically $2,300 to $2,800 alone. I use all this money to put into a nicer higher end PC though, so I'm definitely not rich I just manage my tech / technology in a really strange way.

Add this to as well. If I get a new computer every 4 years (roughly).

Cable Subscription - $50 a month ($2,400 over 4 years) TV - $500-$1,000 No Netflix / Hulu on the side. $10 a month or so ($480 over 4 years) Cheap cell phone plan $35 a month instead of $55-$65 a month - ($960 over 4 years)

$2,400 + $480 + $960 = $3,840

$3,840 - over 4 years alone

This alone to make it easy. I spent $3,100 (around here) on a computer, but I didn't spend $3,840 on the other stuff though. Not saying it's better financially and/or anything like that just showing that I put more weight into my PC and don't have cable or a TV myself right now or hulu / netflix and I have a cheaper cell phone plan. People like to think or assume I'm rich at that point.

I spend $1500 to $2,000 for a PC when I buy myself though to as well so I just took about a third of that $3,840 ($1350) or so or did $1750 (pc originally) then added $1450 from the $3,840 at that point which came out to be about $3,100 for a new PC.

I wanted that or else the H115i.

If I had the money I'd get something like this and try to overclock my R7 3700X (3700X isn't the best overclocker), but I just got the H110i myself.

Also it's not shilling to me personally if someone is asking you and you don't work for that company.

I usually only put maybe $800 into my builds, but my current build, I splurged on.

I built it around 5 years ago, with an i7 4770k, and two GeForce 760s. In total I think I put in over $2000 on it. I went the two card route, because it allowed me to space out the purchases a bit, I bought the second card almost a year after the rest of the computer. But, it's added complexity, meaning more can go wrong. So I don't think I'll be going the multicard route again.

Still banging like a madman, though. Still runs everything I throw at it at max settings and then some, which is impressive to me, because previous computers were obsolete almost the second they were built. I think that has more to do with the gaming industry slowing down on their hardware requirements, though. I'm not expecting a huge leap until 4k, 144 Hz, or VR becomes standard. I figure this computer should more than easily get me to that point.

You play at 2k (1080p) then? - maybe 2.5k (1440p)?

I stopped buying intel myself. I went AMD for the first time since I don't just play video games (obviously).

[–] • 1 pt

Just 1080p. This is actually my first Intel build, all others have been AMD. This is also my first build to last longer than 4 years. With all the security problems Intel has had, though, I don't know what I'll do for my next build. Intel's reliability has been a breath of fresh air after AMD, but I don't like Mossad's backdoors, and Intel killing performance to "fix" them.

True, intel is the heavy gaming realm CPU (why they'd want to do that to monitor white kids / white children in secret due to the gaming realm alone to me personally) and they can monitor white kids / white children that way alone for "anti-semitic" hate speech or whatever. I dropped intel myself (never bought AMD before) and boycott them myself nowadays due to jewish pedophilia alone nowadays as well as all their other bullshit. I wouldn't let my white kid / white child get one either to as well due to jewish pedophilia alone or jewish pedophiles alone. Way to kidnap white kids / white children alone to me personally or else screw with them or just for gathering information on white kids / white children alone. Wouldn't want my white kid / white child kidnapped or screwed with by jewish pedophiles alone or mossad as you said. I can't trust intel CPUs (many of us have left) anymore myself at all at that point. Posted these links in another thread. intel is a jewed company and I can't trust them anymore myself now. No more consumer trust with them now.

Just checked and I always knew AMD was under priced in value to at $2 if they have one breakthrough or leap. Now it's $42 a share.

Told my buddy kind of as a joke who's an econ guy to buy AMD at $25 per share since the Ryzen 3000 series were incredible.

lower end laptops bout $250 -$300

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

2700x, 32gb ram, x570 motherboard, 10gbit nic, rx580, nvme only.

[–] • 1 pt

That's a damn nice machine.
Currently I've got a 2600 on a B450 board, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1070, 256GB NVMe boot, and a 4TB HDD to store most stuff. She'll probably get an upgrade early in the new year.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

yeah if you gaming it is framerates...

I'm a bit of a DIY guy, in this region. I'll plan out a good mid-range PC with a lot of upgrade room, and max it out over time.
