$5000-$10000 gaming setup

LokiElixir

So what if I told you I have a gaming setup with three 144HZ gaming monitors for my PC then I also have two gaming consoles with about 50-200 games between the two of them all bought for $50 or more and then I have a gaming PC worth about $1000-$1300 plus the games I think would add up to around $500 then I have put in about $100-$300 in just making my setup desk etc just look cool nothing that special right about what if I told you I’m only 16 years old. I know crazy right your first thought is probably that I have parents that spoiled me well dang I wish my setup would be so much better. But no I actually work 35-40 hours a week so I would be able to buy my setup. Before I even got my job I was working as much as possible saving up for a gaming PC it was summer time and I was cutting 5+ lawns every week for anywhere ranging from $20-$50 depending on the size of the yard that got me okay cash but nowhere near close enough for what I envisioned believe it or not. I then was able to get a job around when school started loved the job the actual work and co-workers were amazing probably because I didn’t have my PC yet so that was my goal get enough for that PC and I did and now I have it and the my grind seems to slowing down not something I personally like so. You’re probably wondering why I put $5000-$10000 gaming setup when what I all listed probably doesn’t add up to near that well to keep my grind going I set more goals maybe they’re a little too much but they’re goals none the less and I love what I’m doing and working for I’m planning on getting a monitor for my two consoles so five monitors in total and then get a new gaming PC that’ll last me 5+ years so the budget for that is anywhere from $1500-$3000 and I’ll probably get at least two monitors for those as well so maybe around 7 or so monitors I’ll have for my gaming setup all 144HZ capabilty. I know people definitely have way more expensive and better setups than I have but I personally think for being 16 with what I have and still going to school I think it’s an alright start. Just something I wanted to do for some reason hope everyone enjoyed have a great day. And enough picture or my setup is a little out of date I have some 3D lamps etc added on after this picture was taken. And yeah cables are terrible 2858599A-BB96-43ED-B91E-EC8A7382D66B.thumb.jpeg.27325fbcc517b3c5dc825a5a82a5c489.jpeg

no matter what you get and ends up with, you will sure regret.

you should find better way to spend your earning if you plan more... not on gaming!!

Gaming is my passion though after high school I’m going to school for cyber security anything computer/tech related I’ll go into to

I think you should spend more time in school, and less time working. Your formatting is pretty bad, and your complete lack of punctuation makes that very hard to read.

A $5,000 PC isn't as smart way to spend your money. You won't get that much more of a performance boost over something that's considerably cheaper. A $10,000 PC is probably one of the stupidest things I've heard. I mean, cool, sure, if it's a company piece, or you make ridiculous money.

look. I'm not going to stop you. I'm here to give you advice. a 5000 dollar pc will perform about 20% better than a 1500-2000 dollar pc. for a while you'll have the best you can get, but with every generation you'll lack a bit more behind and in 3 generations you'll have a average gaming pc. you would be better off making a 1500 dollar pc every 2 generations than spending 5000 on one now

that PC will be worth about 400$ in 5 years. 

 

PCs are probably the worst investment you can make. 

only brand new cars are going down faster...

Whilst it's an impressive setup, that'll only be top of the line for a couple of years. Unless you're happy keeping that for the next 5-10 years, meaning you can't play games in 5-10 years on maximum graphics.

Stop and think a second, something is more than nothing.

At least cars stop dropping in value at a certain point and retain it for a while.

The LTT forum isn't about showing off and bragging. Most people on here save up months, even years to build systems. 

You're not impressing us, so please take that sort of thing elsewhere.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade and make you feel bad, I'm just giving you some advice. You've completely wasted your money on unnecessary crap.

Sure, everyone loves to get a nice gaming computer and a nice monitor, but you've really not spent your money wisely. There's no need for so many consoles.

It's great that you have $10k to spend on a gaming setup but you need to learn how to spend money.

Agreed, if you want to flex, go to reddit and YouTube if you wanna brag
