When you think its over budget?

OCing Noob

I was wondering when it becomes " oh no its out of range now" for friends here.

 

Lets say you are going to build a 1000 bucks rig as you planed it. how much more is bucks and your started thinking is going off budget ?

 

just having fun . not a serious question . My off budget is above 1100 bucks for a 1000 bucks rig. means 100+

5-10% maybe?

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Over budget is more than 10%. Some people don't take into consideration about tax and whatnot. Then again, when I'm building computers for people, they aren't gonna know the difference between graphics cards such as a 980 vs. 970. So, I've had to downgrade for them a couple times.

If I plan a new rig i really don't care about the money. I think setting a limit and ending up with a build you don't love 100% because you would have wanted to choose other parts s**** b****.

Machines take me by surprise with great frequency

My brother wanted me to build his gaming computer for him, he gave me a budget of $1,000, I went $250 over budget with shipping and taxes, haha. But for myself I'd say $150 over is as far over as I'd go.
