Wild that a 1k USD machine lasts like 6-10 years now.

I’m using one as a media center that’s a Phenom from 14 years ago lawl

My VR machine is eight years old but with a new GPU.

My main game machine is like four years old and plays basically everything 1440p/100FPS+. Cost bout 1.5k.

My first REAL game computer I built was over 2k back in the day (maybe 3k adjusted for inflation) and was slow as shit after two years. I love you, solid state drives. Athlon 64x2 4400+, SLI7900GT, 4GB DDR2, and an antec lanboy with the bondage kit. Built it for Crysis. No Raptors tho.
