Basically just the CPU fan, case, and PSU (if you're lucky). If someone can figure out how to get Doom running on just those 3 things, young people will be able to ascend.

Free in that you paid a $120 premium to get a $10 part every 5 years with an upgrade.
They make good stuff, but it just isn't worth the markup. If actually you need the level of performance to justify spending that kind of money, just go with liquid cooling.
The "premium" you are talking about were 60€ in 2015. It survived 3 builds until now, pretty good deal. If you need pretty LEDs and fancy colours you can always choose a competitor.
60 euro premium and how much money has it saved you versus buying something cheaper and an adapter at each upgrade?
