Has anyone ever went over budget on their build before without noticing?

 

Currently bought my parts for the my current Prodigy build and only to find out I spent 1500$ :( ah oh well..portable gaming and thats what I get for  switching to Intel.

With client builds, i try to stay as close to the budget as I can. But with my computer, I overspent quite alot. Thought, ahh why not, spent extra money on this, that and shizz. 

Whats 1500 anyways especially if you use it a lot hahaha

I went 200€ over budget, but it's worth it. Maybe the motherboard was a bad choice, I did not need all the fluff and bells it had. But I just wanted it haha.

Never. Everything is calculated. I even make Excel sheets showing parts, and goes online to get the latest prices.

Me too!

I kinda followed what u did except i decided on going with a 2011 platform and said to myself why go cheap when i need to keep dumping money in it so i chose to go all out to avoid needing upgrades for years.Yes, it broke me but im happy lol.
