How much did your rig cost you?

[Geekazoid]

PLEASE NOTE: If you deem this kind if information too personal than please don't post your answer.

Okay, as the title asks, how much did your rig cost that you currently use right now?

My 6-year old HP Pavilion that I still use (until I can upgrade to the rig in my sig later this year) costs me around AU$1,860+. I kind of wish I had looked into custom PCs before I bought this because I know I could've gotten a lot more for my money, however I didn't really think about a custom PC unfortunately, I was coming from a Windows XP PC with a Pentium 3 CPU clocked @ 933MHz (but stayed around 900MHz for some reason), I believe 768MB - 1GB of RAM and a 20GB main IDE HDD with a second 40GB IDE HDD and an NVIDIA GPU of some kind, so the HP PC was a huge upgrade for me. I won't bug you with the HP system specs as they're listed on these forums somewhere one, twice or thrice. But needless to say, it was considered quite a powerful system back in 2007.

The PC that I plan to build will cost me about AU$2,700+. You may say "that's a lot to spend on a PC" but about AU$634 of that will be spend on a really good colour accurate IPS monitor because I'm a bit OCD about colour accuracy.

Sorry for the lengthy post. Anyway guys, how much did you pay for your build?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Same here! Way more than I should have... I did get a lot of stuff for cheap, so in reality I spent more like 1500, but parts added up is more like 2200. It started as a 350 build, but over 4 years has been upgraded a lot

According to PC Part Picker, $2,140.89.

This is entirely due to the fact that I live rent free, and have no responsibilities beyond food and gas. This will change inevitably, so I decided now would be the best time to build a PC I could use for a very long time without having to keep buying parts for to upgrade to get a performance level that I find adequate.

That's about AU$3,700+. And I thought mine was going to be expensive.

[Geekazoid]

Probably $700

The perfect number.

[scaryjam823]

About $2800. I plan to add an h100i, another 780 and a few other small things that's about another $1000 when I'm done. Not counting custom water cooling some day if I decide to  or 3 new monitors I'm going to get.

[mikeangeles 75]

Around $900. I had to buy everything from the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and even a desk.

Hey! You have the ASUS PB238Q. I was thinking about getting that with my build instead at one point. How're you finding it, does it display pretty accurate colours?

[LolNope]

Spent around $3000 + peripherals, might do a few small upgrades here and there when I have time

Yes. It is gorgeous. The onboard speakers aren't bad either. I intend to get another for side monitors later. (one day) My next monitor investment will be a 4K 27" one. But that is far off.

I assume you're talking about the blue text?

With all the little things I've done I'm at about 2000$ my setup in total is over 5000$

[Geekazoid]

Well, just spreading the word.

[Cwazywazy]

Over $800 including everything. (Both screens, case, etc.) The case, motherboard, RAM, and CPU were gifts so that's a pretty big chunk out of what I actually paid for the thing.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

With the custom loop about $3100
