How much did you spend on PCs so far?

[DiamondCubeMiner]

I record the prices of items I buy in PCPartPicker and for the last 3 years, and I have spent US$995.48 (probably more) on PC parts, spread across 3 different PCs.

How much did you spend on PCs?

[Bananasplit_00]

[buzzinkeegs]

missed out the rgbness when i did my maths

[themctipers]

laptop: 2.2k, 15$ T7600

desktop: 80$ ram, 250$ for a 760, -125 for selling my 1070 for more than I paid for it, 180$ SSD, 120$ SSD, 300$ HDD

[TetraSky]

According to the price I calculated last time, over $6000. (Yes, I keep a list for this... Just to remind me how much money I'm wasting)

 

Spoiler

This list doesn't include everything. There's a few things like RAM and motherboards that I bought locally. It might not have tax and shipping costs and many other things like my current 900x400 desk mat, etc.

[Princess Luna]

Honestly, I don't even know and I can't be bothered to do the math.

[Stormseeker9]

Money 

[Lurick]

Probably 10K to 12K =/

[Helly]

$20k at least

Also, whats the point of a topic like this? Do YOU want to brag about the amount? Do you want to see others brag about the amount? As you can see from the old topic, people don't really care what someone else spends....

 

[wasab]

$900 for my prebuilt, $600 for my laptop, but nearly $1000 for my goddamn phones. One I broke, one I lost, and the last one is $550 OnePlus 6. Yikes!

 

But I find comfort in the fact I avoided $100 for Windows license or computer malwares from installing pirated Windows

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.

This is literally at the bottom of the thread you linked...

 

But on topic... I'm afraid it'll scare me because only from the top of my head I spent probably over €4k on my pc + laptop since 2015 I'm afraid... Just seeing the number and realizing I'm still a student it scares me

HAHAHAHA I didn't even build a PC last year and bought $1486 of hardware on Newegg in 2018 (not including Amazon)...been doing this for 20 years or so?  Lol I don't even want to know.

 

Hell, Im building a CHEAP Custom Loop for fun.  That's another $50 down the drain for no reason other than I love messing with computers.

[Dissitesuxba11s]

Looking at the prices above, I don't feel bad anymore on how much I've spent. I have an Excel sheet logging my expenditure so I know exactly how much, but I'll still estimate: a little over $3,000 for computer related parts, and $1,300 on keyboards and keyboard related accessories.

[NineEyeRon]

Just totalled it up, a lot less than I thought, which is great!

 

PC Part picker shows I pull 346W with my RX580 but only 301W if I change up to a GTX 1070TI which is sweet!

 

Looks like I don't need to change PSU as I have 550W now and it should be plenty in years to come!

 

 

[Sir Asvald]

Originally it was £460 when I bought it. 

 

• Additional 8GB for £45
• Cooler was for £30
• £240 for GTX 1060 6GB
• 1TB Drive for £40

Over all £355 Extra

[DildorTheDecent]

The whole shebang is about £6k. PC + audio.

[AngryBeaver]

With what I have spent in the last decade... I could have probably purchased a nice car.

 

Then again I upgrade machines constantly, buy things I see at good deals, have a few servers I have purchased... 10gb network equipment, etc.. 

 

Now for a final price I have no clue what I've spent and I plan to keep it that way incase the wife ever trys to corner me on it lol.

[Mira Yurizaki]

On desktops, and just for the desktop hardware, likely around $8,000-$10,000 over the course of 14 years. Peripherals would probably add another $2,000. Laptops would add another $10,000.

 

I also sell what I don't use anymore so the total cost isn't that bad. Probably.

This is a good topic for you @King Poet

[Radium_Angel]

If I were to calculate the amount of money I've spent on computer parts, software for said systems (programs, OS) I'd have to say....

 

...more than they have been worth a few years later.

Having learned that lesson some (many) years ago, I spend as little humanly possible on my systems. And run them til they die. My current system (twin Xeons) is the 1st new system I've bought in decades.

How much did you spend on PCs?

 

[Arika]

$Too.Much

[Automobili3XF]

Lots of money, but also recovered a big deal of it selling my used parts.

[Atmos]

in the last year only about $500, upgrading to my current psu and microphone setup.

In total over the years that I've owned this pc, far, far too much for me to even remember. But my current build, if I calc'd all the parts as new is about $3,100
