Hey /v/ how much money did you spend on your PC build?
kill yourself furry
200 bucks, most of the stuff you can just pirate
>another hidden /fur/ thread
~$700
Aint the best thing around but gets the job done.
>>344621896
1000 at the start.
1500+ by now.
Also,Furfags can Yiff in hell.
>>344621896
700ish at the start, I think around 1900 something now including everything. I don't know how I did it either.
>>344621896
$2200 AUD
>>344622052
>pirating hardware
$860
it's got an i5-4590 and an R9 390
I'm pretty happy with it
200 dollars.
I got a gt 740 and a Pentium K.
I'm pretty happy with it.
Almost $3000
>first ever build around $800
>second build around $1300
>current build around $4000
I didn't need to spend that much on my current build. At the time I had no monetary concerns so I just bought the best shit I could.
This is at current market prices. I probably paid more.

>Hey /v/ how much money did you spend on your PC build?
230 euros and with those humble bungles and insomnia sales now i have over 300 games.
I started working my way trough them but some of those older RPGs are 100 hours +
It will take me forever to finish them all.
>>344621896
About 1200 dollars in total.

how do you guys manage to blow so much money on a pc? do you live somewhere where prices are shit?
>>344625745
My parents aren't poor for starters.
>>344625745
It's pretty easy when you don't know what you're doing and believe the wrong people.
Lets take the recent RX 480 release on /v/. Say you know NOTHING about computers but you want to build your own.
Everyone on vee says oh no the RX 480 is a terrible card its burning down your house its garbage. You need a 1080.
So now you've already dropped what $800? For a card with more power than you need?
Then there's getting tricked on some stupid ass case marketed to stupid ass people with spechul lights so it can illuminate your floor or clear plastic siding so you can look at all the dust you aren't gonna clean.
Mechanical keyboards or you're not a real gamer! RAZER MICE OR GTFO.
i7 for gaming.
32gb of RAM? Please, try 64 or you're basically using a super nintendo.
exotic or expensive cooling schemes. water coolings literally the ONLY way you'll be able to play skyrim remastered kid.
etc.
>>344626024
Also this. They're usually leeches that waste their parents hard earned money. If it was their own money they'd have more sense but being 16 or 17, they have no idea.
>>344621896
I spent $1,100 on my first PC and still use the same power supply unit and case. That was 11 years ago. Pretty glad I got a 650W PSU and it turned out to be extremely well manufactured. At the time that was more power than needed but in 11 years things have changed.
I've had to replace my graphics card twice, cpu/mobo and ram once. All said over the last 11 years I've probably spent $2,000 ish, maybe $2,250, on my computer.
It's been an excellent investment. Sadly I could never get into learning how to build a laptop and ended up just picking up a real cheap one during the november sales.
>>344626292
>At the time that was more power than needed but in 11 years things have changed.
How badly has it degraded? Because PSUs do degrade.
>>344626292
>Sadly I could never get into learning how to build a laptop
You can't just buy laptop parts and put it all together given they all use different form factors.
Would be nice though.
>>344626579
I don't know how to test that. It works. It has never caused issues.
I expect it to conk out one day but it hasn't yet. I think a big help is I disassemble my PC and clean out EVERYTHING including the PSU which is a real pain in the ass to take apart. Every 3 months I get everything as clean as can be. So its running as optimally as I could.
I've also never had a power budget close to its max of 650 watts so I'm sure the lack of stress helps.
>>344626742
Yeah I figured as much after taking a cursory glance at it years ago and didn't pursue it further.
That bunny is really really cute
Got a new job and decided to treat myself. 3200$ in Canadian. Spent far more than necessary but am no longer a poorfag so felt like doing something over the top.
POST THE FUCKING REACTION FACE
970 or 980ti?
>>344627493
Wait for people to upgrade to the 10X0 series and then buy a second and 980ti for cheap
>>344625159
>300 bucks on a gaming motherboard
>1070 for 700 bucks
>2 SSDs
What in the fuck? Are these at least canada prices.
£1100
Still serving me well - best little piece of kit I've ever owned.
That said, I'm really dying to settle down and get a desktop again.
>>344627493
Nvidia says the 1060 will be better than the 980 at a cheaper price so neither.
The benchmarks prove the RX480 is better than the 970 and it's vastly cheaper than the 970, 980, and 1060.
Take your pick but unless you buy used for $100~, I wouldn't say pick a 9x0 series.
>>344621896
200 for intel core 2 quad q9650 and a 750 ti ive had it for 2 yrs nao
>>344621896
550 eurobucks. Took case, HDD, keyboard and mouse from my old PC.
Built it in 2013 and it still runs everything fine.
>>344628020
Can the 480 do VR?
Like 1200€ with everything included.Ever since I got my PS4 I've been using my PC as music player and shitposting machine though.
About 1100€, a year ago.
R9 390 + i5 6500K
>>344621896
$1030, 2 years ago
>>344621896
Like 600-650 I think.
>>344621896
>>344625160
Mine was slightly over $2000 but I needed to buy everything. Between new monitor, speakers, and monitors cost me about $400 alone.
price is n/a by now
been slowly upgrading over 10 years
>>344625745
Nigga people blow $10,000's on boats and cars and shit. A few thousand on a PC is nothing
>>344625745
Australia's prices for everything are inflated.
900 australian dollarydoos 8 years ago and still going (sort of) strong with a an upgrade to a 770 a few years ago. cpu starting to show it's age a lot now though
>>344629752
what a stupid analogy
>>344621896
I'm in the middle of picking a new build now, so far i'm up to 4.3k, which is way too much, I need to find some legroom and drop the prices a bit.
>>344629892
>buying 6 times what you need
4k, SLI and i7's are wastes of money if you only gonna vidja
>>344621896
2k when I made it about 6 years ago
Still running great, only ever had 1 major issue that I fixed in a week.
Going to ditch everything from my keyboard/mouse/screens to my components and buy entirely new stuff though.
like 470 or so
i5 4460, r9 280x (used, it overheats. need to replace thermal paste and get a better case for it. shit get 90+ degrees), and 8gb of ram. Bretty gud
$500, I get 720p 60fps on A3 games and that's good enough for me.
2700$
>>344630008
It's not even that, it's an i5, single 1080, but all the accessories bump up the price a lot, like brand new monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, etc.
>>344629824
its not that, stupid think about it. if someone is willing to spend thousands on boats and jet skis that only have one function in certain areas then wouldn't spending just a thousand or two on a computer that can do many things and can operate in any indoor area be a better buy.
>>344630193
do you live in brasil or something?
that i just dont believe
did it come with an old car?

>>344631167
Mid range hardware
high end video card
300+ games on Steam
Just the hardware is under 800usd. The games have been accumulated over the course of a decade.
Did a new build last year and just did a semi-major upgrade a few weeks ago (New GPU, case, monitor, etc).
All together? Roughly about $2800.
Spent about $1158 on upgrades (CPU, SSD, GPU, MB, RAM, etc) and reused a bunch of shit like my case and PSU from my old build.
Spent about $270 on some minor upgrades (5TB HDD that was having a sale, got a new power supply for future SLI stuff), and then $1690 on a GTX 1080, new monitor, case, second SSD, and a few other side things.
I normally do builds in the $500-700 range, so this is my most expensive yet. I've also been doing this for about 10 years, so eh.
>>344631780
Also good to note that although the price point is high, I sold a bunch of my old shit to buy new. I sold roughly about $1000 worth of parts/my old monitor, so the price isn't nearly as bad as it looks. Still really fucking high, but still.
>>344630331
Australia bro.
Monitor and 1080 alone costs 2.1k
About 1200
Bought a decent PC used, overclocked the i5. added an SSD, good ram and a 1070.
>>344629015
They say so, yes. I haven't personally tried it. VR isn't the current high demand meme. 4k is. Of course you can't easily get 4k monitors without dropping serious money.
VR is a more moderate demand on modern GPUs. A 970 (which the RX 480 is a bit stronger than) can handle VR easily.
>>344629602
You'll notice on peoples list of components they pretty much never list monitors and speakers. And rarely list keyboards and mice.
>>344621896
Around 800$ on the parts.
Then around 200$ more on case stuff for fun.
>>344629824
It is
The average joe who's on a cucked budget and mortgage bills can likely afford 1k at max.
The guy who earns 6 figures and has tons of cash to do whatever can literally get all the premium parts they want.
>>344621896
Like 600. I've yet to find anything it can't do efficiently yet. Plays most modern games in a stable 60 fps.
Probably a boring answer to be sure, but once you're outside of the mind boggling shit the console war shitters constantly fling at each other, the answers are usually simple and straight forward.
>dell precision 5500
>hexacore xeon and 32GB RAM
>bought in 2011 for $700
>have put about $600 into it (SSD, midrange video cards) since
I kinda want to replace it with a E5-v4 xeon setup but it's hard to justify it when the system is still running incredibly well.
>>344626818
I wouldn't recommend taking your PSU apart,
there is a short term risk of electric shock from capacitors - principally the two large capacitors used in a "half bridge' arrangement in many PC supplies. These are arranged in such a manner that the supply may be switched between nominal 230 VAC and 110 VAC easily. These capacitors will happily kill you if you let them.
Computer was 500
Have spent about another 500 in upgrades over time
About a thousand dollarydoos
My computer is a bit of a frankenstein now. It was a prebuilt given to me for christmas and I've slowly replaced literally every single component except for the mobo and CPU because I'm terrified of fucking up the installation. Gonna have to go for it eventually though because I think my cpu is bottlenecking my gfx card bad.
>>344634061
Unplug your PSU from the wall before cleaning it, nigga, shiet.
>>344621896
Can I build around my A790GXH? I really want to upgrade from my X2 550 and 6670 but I don't have enough money to buy all the components.
>>344625159
I have the same case but mine's black/black
>>344634557
probably is m8 my friend and I have the same build except he has an amd fx-8xxx and I have an i7 6700k, I outperform him everywhere
>>344621896
2500 dollarydoos if you include incidentals.
I'm an Ausfag and I wanted a top-shelf gaming rig that I won't even have to upgrade for years so now I'm sitting on a 1070 and a bunch of top of the range parts that will keep me going for at least the next 3-5 years, probably could go to 10 years before I have to upgrade anything other than the GPU as well.
i7 3770
GTX 660 Ti top
8GB gskill ripjaws ram
Cooler master haf 912
800$ 3 years ago.
Recently upgraded my main PC to an intel build and threw my old stuff (FX 6300, GTX 680) into a spare case for my best friend who's in university and can't afford his own
Total Out-of-pocket for this rig was around $1200
>>344621896
Initially? $1000. Over the last few years it's probably crept up to about $2000 though, maybe a few bucks more. My PC is in a state of continuous upgrading.
About 1500€ between 2008 and 2010.
Now I'm waiting for it to die, but it just won't.
About $450
Has a FX6300, 8GB RAM and a R7 360
1200$
>>344621896
about 500? I was pretty heavily on a budget to be honest and did stuff like HDDs were "donations" from an external and defunct laptop.
>>344621896
A touch over 800, a little less than a year and a half ago.
The first time I built a PC from scratch in about a decade, too. Every PC I'd built before this one shared SOMEthing, usually the case and the power source.
And it's still going incredibly strong to this day.
I MIGHT upgrade the graphics card before the year is up, but that's a very hard Maybe. I could probably run this baby for another year without trouble.
Felt good, man.
