Almost what I just spent on my entire new computer... Parts due to begin arriving today in a lorry...

Dafuq? You spent 40k$ on a PC?

No, not literally, but a VERY large amount. It certainly feels like it though !

Starting from nothing (coming from a mac) I've had to also purchase all the accessories as well. Even as far as having a special desk area custom built for it.

Plus, with the top end components, I didn't scrimp too much on on the other stuff either. Soundbar and subwoofer, 32 inch samsung monitor, gaming keyboard and mouse and mouse mat, all the cables, etc etc... It all adds up

I mean, it's certainly the most I've ever spent on a computer system in my life...

you goofed

[CurrentlySober]

you goofed

Not really. It's not really about cost - it's about getting EXACTLY what I want

[CurrentlySober]

Amazons been...

I still have my old Alienware PC on the desk behind me here in my my home office. I think I got it in 2008 or so. It had two video cards, which was required to run mulitple monitors back then and wasn't very common. Still runs.

Meanwhile these specs will be available for $459 in 10 years.

Thats great ! Likewise my iMac is still running flawlessly on High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G8037) after being purchased over 10 years ago...

Hopefully my new one will be doing the same in 10 years time Thats why I splurged

Absolutely. But thats OK. as long as it lasts me 10 years, Im happy. I wouldn't want to get something that becomes vasically obsolete in a few years time

[adultinnovation]

It will be obsolete in like 4 years...

I still have a GTX 950 video card.. it came out in August 2015. It's 4+ years old.. It still runs all games but can't run anything on ultra settings..

Every 4 years or so PC tech becomes outdated..

Your $700 video card will probably last long though.

No not your PC, which looks cool, the OP graphics card

What made you decide to switch? - I thought you were a staunch Mac fan...

[CurrentlySober]

No not your PC, which looks cool, the OP graphics card

Yeah, I actually thought that after Id replied... I guess I assumed you meant my PC cause Im so excited about it (understandably) and kinda forgot that it wasn't actually the topic of the thread ! Whoops

[CurrentlySober]

What made you decide to switch? - I thought you were a staunch Mac fan...

Not switching mate - Still keeping my iMac for all my day to day 'work' stuff etc...

The PC is purely for fun. Games and emulation and virtual pinball, and probably VR after Xmas and entertainment !

[CaptainHowdy]

I actually have to jumpstart my desktop computer . . .

[pimpmaster9000]

I can barely tell the difference between HD and 4K gaming...its not worth upgrading IMO...
