seriously that's the normal price for gaming PCs nowadays, if not below average

my dad says playing Fallout 4 at 5 fps with a $300 PC is good enough for him so it should be good enough for me

ugh

@Dmitry

if someone is paying >$1k for a gaming PC then it's likely they are paying it for a high resolution monitor or for multiple monitors

I only have 1 1080p monitor so I don't need to spend as much to get good fps

I built my PC for $3000 USD

That's when I still didn't realize the PCMR was an inside joke all along

And I could of saved $2500 USD

Welp

My prebuilt was ~$750 and it's served me well for about 3 years now.

Also, are you trying to buy one with your own money? If so, your parents shouldn't be able to dictate what you buy.

@EX

they're chipping in about $150 and I pay for the rest

which is nice and all but they're going to give $150 regardless of the total budget of all of my parts

my dad has the same graphics card, but your CPU is much better

for 200-300 pounds that's a pretty good deal

euros***

a bit less than pounds

But yeah, I had to use some connections, look for the best deals, anything that could give some returns in money, etc. - the best I could get for the cheapest. It was sometime in 2012/13 as well, when those pieces were much more than they are now/today.
