i dont place any money towards a pc. i find the parts that for fill my needs then i find the prices for them then try and lower the total cost then find out how much ill need 

[lani100]

Too damn much but yeah atleast 1000$ since the last time I checked and that was 7 months ago so It could be 1400 or even higher, I don't even want to know I like to have a fast future-proof computer.

[SirRoderick]

Just over 2k euros I think...so easily in the 2-3k bracket. It's like the only thing I really spend a lot of money on.

[ForeseenVisionz]

too much for a 15 yr old. trust.

(im not rich but i had too pick the option as it was the only one that could explain how much i've spent)

[Oshino Shinobu]

Too much. 

[Helly]

not quite sure what you mean... do you mean spend on pc components in my life? Or on my current PC alone? cuz for some people the 5k might be a bit on the low end.... cuz buying 4/5 pc's in ur life can easily get you at 5k+... I'm currently on my 5th pc... and i've bought 2 laptops...  I'm well over 5k with these components... and thats just PC's alone... not even counting monitors or other stuff like my speakers (logitech z5500 digital... BOOM 475 euros right there...)

 

or are we not counting speakers, mice, keyboards, headphones, etc....?

[ShadowCaptain]

5000$ + easily

 

I don't even want to add it up

When buying components, I usually set aside some money for Steam wallet vouchers. I mean, what is the point of getting highend components if you don't have intensive games to feed them. This is coming from a person who has been using a GTX 560 for 3 years and a bit, now I'm thinking of getting a second monitor and Arma 3.

Seeing as how I've been in the scene for way over 16 years and my first new PC was a 486 133MHz (and I specifically remember spending over $100 on a 630MB seagate HDD brand new for it) it's way, way over 10K$ by now.

[BloodWithIce]

$3000 + easily. 
btw. I am 15 

[ErickS89]

I've reached $5,000+ in te last 2 years alone... That includes ram upgrades and monitors to.

[jaqiefox]

One metric crapton.

But in all seriousness a little more than 2k by now. I made a mistake of putting a 3770k on a z68 Mobo without having a CPU to update the BIOS to be compatible with Ivy Bridge CPUs. So I that was expensive. Also the older GPUs that I buy every now and again. I'm also planning a folding/heavy photo editing rig here in the near future and that, reusing what I can from my current build, will cost me about $2130 USD before graphics cards(hoping to find a pair of used 580s) so there's that.

 

hehe Ive got several isa video cards, a vlb one, a pair of voodoo2, several s3 pci, a voodoo 5 5500 agp, a whole bunch more all the way up to my pair of hd6850 cards.

[Buckley]

Too much

[Askew]

Thousands.

I have been in to custom PC's for almost 15 years now and every year I spend a minimum of $2000 a year on hardware, so on that alone we are talking $30,000 at the lowest but if I had to calculate what I actually have spent in the past 15 years, honestly it is somewhere in the ballpark of $60,000-$75,000.

[Austin:P]

Originally 1800, but then i replaced my amd stuff with intel 3 months later which costed me 1100, but i sold my amd parts all together for 500 so 1800+1100=2900-500= $2400

[Gary Da Cat]

well i have only build one $700 comp but other than that it was all old computers i took apart and pieced together to make an ok one.

[cnapier39428]

About 8k in the last year

[toms94z71]

Being that I am in my early 30's and on my last system i just built was around 3.5k and then my lap top was 2k I got 3 yrs ago, and my first computer was an ibm 386 I brought from a yardsale back in the mid 90's, I am sure I am well past the 10k mark.

[beau]

Hmm let me think.

Bear in mind I'm in the land of expense so things cost more here than elsewhere.

 

CPU $399

MOBO $440

SSD $99 + $119

GFX $870 + $870

Mobo Waterblocks $150

GFX Waterblocks $150 + $150

PSU $250

Pump/Rads/Res/Tubing/Coolant/Fittings etc $900 (includes shipping from the US)

Fan CTRLer $60

HDD scrapped from previous builds

Case $210

AIO $120

 

Theres a few other things I'm skipping, like my $600 monitor, $150 headphones, $100 keyboard, $80 mouse, $40 mousemat,

 

Soooo I guess just shy of $5k.  Still need about another 1K to upgrade a few parts to make it more silent.  Runs fine as is though just a little loud.

[Ryoku]

5K+ bracket for me for sure.

[xjohnny3589]

I would have a heart attack if I tallied it all up. Let's just say way more than I'm suppose to.
