How Much Would You Spend On a Gaming PC? (Poll)

about 700-800 give or take. If I had a crapload more money to spare, i`d much rather spend the money on a second computer as opposed to upgrades for the previous build.

Spending more than $500-600 for a desktop in a time like this would be asinine to say the least.

I recently built one almost from scratch, and with the finished product including a 22" LCD, the total came to about $500... there are great deals on parts out there, you just have to search/be patient.

What can I get for.... 5 dollars and 53 cents?

you do knwo that the proper way to do this things is:

501-100

and NOT

0-500

500-1000 ?

Guess why everyone is either in 500-1000 or 1000-3000? Because most people are willing to pay around 1000 bucks for a gaming pc, and the gap between 1000 and 3000 is way too great.

I would probably not spend top dollar for a gaming rig again. The bleeding edge stuff is so expensive and once you get to a certain point, your rate of return (i.e. performance and quality decline significantly). I did it once and regretted it. Last year, I spent about $200 on upgrades (new vid card - 9800GX2 and ram - DDR2 800 4GB) and this year I've spent about $50 (new cpu - E8400), of course I sold my old components to offset the cost. My next major upgrade with be next year when I shift to the i7 CPU, X58 Motherboard and DDR3 RAM. My goal is to spend about $500.
