definition of “bang for the buck”
Generally speaking its in regards to price:performance.
However there is the added rule that it has to be within the range of acceptable performance for the given task.
A £50 10 year old bargain 'used' PC may have way higher price:performance than a £2000 new PC, however if the £50 PC cant even run the most basic of games, its useless as a gaming PC.
For example if the £50 PC achieves 10 FPS in a game for £50 thats £5 per FPS, vs the £2000 for 120FPS being £16.6 per FPS.
£5 per FPS is better than £16.6 per FPS, but 10 FPS isnt playable.
So a line has to be drawn in the performance part. Take a set minimum performance metric (E.G: FPS), then build or find the cheapest possible option that meets it.
Then as a comparison compare vs something(s) that costs more but has higher performance. Compare the 2 (or more) and decide if the higher price is worth the higher performance. If it is then the higher price option is the better 'bang for buck' , if it isnt then its not.
