5k? I don't believe it. When in get home I'll total up my setup and compare notes
EDIT- So I bought some stuff at different prices than you'd get today (cough GPU) so I will list a few prices for.
PC Hardware
Intel i5 10400 - $180
RAM 16GB DDR4 - $40
Mobo - $180
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (Used on ebay) - $215, New is about $450
AverMedia HD2 Capture Card - $150 (now $99)
PCIE Wifi Adapter (Amazon) - $20
250Gb SSD (system and files, gift) - $80
2Tb HDD (Games, tried to save on budget) - $80
PSU - $120
Total Spent - $985
Total Value - $1300
Peripherals
Total Spent - $787 (927 if free was included)
All in - I'm at about $2k and can run Space Marine 2 and Warzone.
I don't buy it either. My PC + an upgrade 3 years later (with a Ryzen 5800X and a used RTX 3090!) cost me about €2,000. If you want to push it, you add the TV (€1,000) because it serves as a monitor and the whole home cinema setup because the computer is hooked to it (probably about €1,000 as well).
That's 4k and I'm stretching it. Buy a good monitor for €300, monitoring speakers or headphones for €250 and you're already set for a high end experience.
As for games... C'mon, y'all know we sail the high seas.
I can see how it would get to 5K including games over a long enough period of time but realistically most hobbies accrue cost over time.
