Do we really need to spend $2K - $5K only to make a gaming oriented computer or consoles with nowadays very flashy price to performance ratios are a good (or even better) options?

    You're missing one important point. Plenty of people prefer mouse and keyboard and have collected tens if not hundreds of games over the years. One does not simply throw everything in the garbage because prices for PC components are high.

    Here a question

    I wonder when the nand flash memory problem will effect consoles with there pricing ?

    Right now prices are too inflated to build a decent budget PC. Either buy a console or a used PC til the prices go down.

    I believe it is not worth to spend the Greens on gaming only

    So I use my main rig for anything but gaming (I game some but not much because of life). With that said my Tinker Box was budget oriented and I overpaid on it because of the inflation. With that said people will build the best gaming PC they can within their budget. I spent $800 alone last May upgrading my main PC to a 7700k, a 1070, and cpu cooling because building PCs is fun for me. If prices come down and you want a decent gaming PC, get a Ryzen 5 (or Intel i5) and something like a 1060-70 or a RX 580 or a Vega 56. My first verison of my rig was valued at $1100 and my current sits around $1700 (before inflation, my rig now is worth over $2000). With that said I paid for it with my own money and it works great for me and my IT degree I am going for.

     

    With that said people will spend money because its fun and they may want to game better. When I wasn't busy 2 years ago when I first built my PC, I would spend hours on end tinkering with my PC. When I was younger I did the same thing with my hand me downs too. With that said my main rig I don't tinker with anymore because I need it to be stable (mainly for school) and thats why I have a tinker box because if something happens I know my main PC works. In the future that tinker box will probaly get water cooling because that looks fun.

    You know you guys are lucky! In India a PC with total cost around $1000 gets skyrocketed up to $1300 only for TAX.
