My dumbass built a PC last year with a 7700x, DDR5 6000 RAM, 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVME, a $250 PSU, a freaking 4090, and stuck it all on a $500 motherboard. Paired it with a 65" 4K 120hz LG OLED with VRR and HDR. All in all I spent over $4K and what do I do with it most of the time? Watch YouTube.
No regrets, though. I could never afford anything nice in my 20s so I wanted to treat myself after my dad died and I collected life insurance. Not to mention that on the rare chance I do play a game, man is it glorious. 100% worth it.
It's sort of last gift from your dad
I like how you put it. He knew about my love for computers, so it really was. Thanks, dad.
I feel you. 7950X, 64gb RAM, RTX 4090…and most of my time is videos or playing Factorio.
Hey, Factorio can get pretty demanding on the CPU.
Yeah, you shouldn’t have regrets with things you enjoy.
