How much money do you have in your gaming PC?

I know this can be tough with different monetary units across the world, and some regions have different pricing, but I am curious how much everyone has invested in their gaming PC. Do not include any peripherals or monitors, basically only what is in your tower or laptop.

 

Personally I am in about $1250 or so over the last 3 years, but am in serious need of an upgrade.

Probably close to 1400. Bought my first desktop on Dec 2009.

  • It was some prebuilt acer quad core desktop for $750.
  • Added a $40 soundcard to replace the terrible onboard audio a couple months after.
  • Replaced the GT220 with an HD6850 for $200 in Dec 2010.
  • Then finally replaced it with an Asus GTX660Ti in March 2013 for $260.
  • The built in 450W didn't have enough amps on the 12V rail so I replaced it with a TX850 V2 for $89.
  • Replaced the fugly Acer case with a Bitfenix Shinobi White windowed case for $79 on Dec 2013. Best investment ever :D

I recently bought an FX-8320 for 110 + 8gb RAM for 70. Just need a 990FX mobo to go on sale then I'll have a completed new build :D

in dollars = 2694.1 (currently) oh and if you count my old 670 then its just over 3K in dollars and if you also add the monitors which cost me £450 and then my laptop £1000 (birthday present but still :3) its a load of money I probably should of spent on something else

With blocks, fittings, dual ddc's, 3 rads, dual 780's, ax1200, 800d, etc, etc... I don't even want to think what I've dumped into it.

 

4k for tower not including H2O stuffs, another 1k locked up there I figure.

I adjusted the pole to allow for a higher ceiling. Feel free to change your vote if this effected you at all.

1000-1500 aussie dollars is my usual budget.  I probably will end up putting more in

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
