Way to save money for gaming PC's

Hello guys, Waddup ?!

Actually before two years everyone was buying a gaming PC for 400 or 200 Dollar but no one right now can get a gaming PC for 2k ?! 0_0

So guys can you tell me how gamers save money for next updates to buy GPU ?

get a job

Manwhoring.

No one, ever has built a gaming rig for $200. There are plenty of people who will argue that you can for $400 but I really don't see the point in those builds at all, if that's your budget get a console. As for your second point, you do not need $2000 to build a good rig. You can spend that and more, should you want to, but a good powerful PC gaming rig will cost $800 - $1000, spending more is a luxury not a necessity

This should be moved to PC section.

@GarGx1: Actually if someone spend 2k on a PC then he can get a 4k and alot ....

No one understanded my point -.-

My point is how can a little kid get a 2K gaming PC or 1k Gaming PC, Some guys told me to get a job but i didn't see a job can make 1k per month in my whole life.

@carljames: lol, then study hard for some years and get a great job.. you don't get money for free, you have to work hard for it. you aren't in a financial situation to get a PC.

@freedomfreak Funny right ? i don't think you can be cool by saying some funny shit around.

i didn't open this topic for fun.

@carljames: Good to know you're dead inside.

@freedomfreak i'm not dead from inside but i don't have time for saying shit and fun ;/

kid expects that he gets money for easily... /logic

@GarGx1 Dude, 2k not luxury because with 2k you can get a High gaming PC, 800-1000 You get a Medium Gaming PC, Search in Youtube about "Ultimate Gaming PC" Then you can see a lot results say 20k Gaming PC lol, That luxury

@carljames: Certainly, you can spend $2000 and a lot more. I do spend a lot on my PC builds, in fact I ordered a $700 GPU yesterday. What I'm saying is you do not need to spend that kind of cash, or anywhere near it.

If you want hardware advice, post in the Hardware forum. It's the correct place for it

Not cool, man.

I had a friend who got everything he wanted. Made me jelly.

@carljames: no way you can buy a PC with 400$ but it should be enough to upgrade your system

@carljames If you're a kid and you don't have the financial means, then you probably shouldn't get a $1k PC. If I were you, I would save for more worthwhile future goals. You want your own car someday? Start saving your nickels and dimes for that.

I honestly don't understand why people feel the need to spend extravagantly on hobbies like gaming. Save money for a car, a down payment on your first house. Invest your money now (in mutual funds) for your eventual college education or retirement. With the power of time and compounding on your side, you're so much better off investing your money while you're young. You'd be surprised at how quickly it will grow.

I know the long-term view can be difficult to see when you're young, but trust me on this. Your interests will evolve as you get older and you'll be glad you were prudent.

1st world problem.

How old are you? If you are like 10 years old that's going to be tough...but I saved up 1000's of dollars every summer starting around 14. First was mowing lawns every weekend, when I was 15 I worked with a neighbor building a barn for $10/hr all summer long and the following summer building a car port...bought a car at 16 with that money (among other things).

So this is what kids are up to these days getting super computers? lol Kid having an awesome gaming PC is the last thing I would be worried about.

@Renevent42 i'm 19 years old, Actually my PC cost around 1200 but i wanna update it to Core i7 and 16GB ram, If you want to talk about jobs actually i can find a job but i opened this topic to get more infromation about games ....

@Ant_17 You get what you paid so it is not the 1st proplem lol

@360ru13r You can take a look at Game developer, They have Extreme gaming PC work games on High setting for 10 years or maybe more.

wtf is going on in here

not a system wars topic

Whats wrong with having a slush fund that you just use for gaming stuff? You don't have to save up for one thing at a time...

19?!?! Oh man nvm lol...

Get more info on games? That does not compute with your thread title.

...or the text of the OP for that matter.

"So guys can you tell me how gamers save money for next updates to buy GPU ?"

Another day in SW.

you dont even need a 1k pc. A decent gaming pc can be build for about $600-700 . And no no one was able to make a $200 pc ever. Also if you already have a pc you can reuse some stuff so the cost can go down ( Usually hard disk and RAM are reusable as long as your current pc is not ancient )

Basically start saving money once you get to about $400 build a pc with a decent processor that has a build in GPU ( such as an i3 ) and start palying older games or less demanding games with low details and when you have more money you can add a dedicated GPU for proper gaming

You can get a Alienware Alpha for around $400 on sale.. That is a full I3, 750 ti computer with a windows 8.1 copy on it.. That not only gives you performance slight better than a PS4, but opens you up to basically every pc game that has released in the past 20 years.. This thing needs to be pointed out more, it is the perfect entry level machine or counterpart you can get for cheap.. And will play the majority of games out there extremely well on high or max settings.. Even the most demanding games like Witcher 3 you can play medium at 1080p ranging around mid 30's to low 40's fps..

This isn't a SW topic and I doubt its appropriate for any of the boards. Probably best to use your blog.
