What do you say to someone who thinks high end pc s are a waste of money

Its a waste of money if you don't know how to use it, what are you using for, also interest.

2 things:

 

First, if you buy a £3000+ PC and you only use it for Minecraft/gaming, it is starting into the extreme hobby/luxury/waste of money territory.

You have INCREDIBLE amount of processing power, yet you are using it to render  something for your entertainment at nice visuals.

 

If you use that processing power for being productive, of course it is not waste of money.

 

This was the answer to your topic title, as it is completely different than your post.

 

Indeed, if you have a case with good ventilation, it is doable to set up the PC with 1 case fan, and a cheap case. My case is £50, half decent (Zalman Z11, with good basic features) and 1 fan (plus a good CPU cooler) cools the FX 8320 and HD 7770 perfectly.

 

So basically your priorities, your life.

If you can spend £loads on a PC just to play games, then go ahead.

I had your case its great but no 240 rad support

He thinks it's unjustifiable to spend a decent amount on a pc he said you only need a I7 for crunching numbers

I know, it is not the best out there, but it does the job

I don't say anything to them, I just bash their little consoles in with my 900D
