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 |

That's when I still didn't realize the PCMR was an inside joke all along
And I could of saved $2500 USD

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.
