My i7-4970k was most expensive in my build, was gonna go for AMD FX-8350 but decided if I was gonna shell out a lot of money, its the best or nothing.

but why the k95 though????

[ThinkWithPortals]

I reckon the top three from most to least expensive would be my GPU, monitor and board.

[Citadelen]

My graphics card cost £300 and my motherboard cost £200. Yay, propitiate distribution of spending

any 9590 or 295x2 owners wanna say "my power bill" ? im waiting  

well I have/used to run dual 290Xs and the difference between running one 290x and 2 is less than $5 per year so...

you must game so little with those dual gpu

or the electric bill at your country is so cheap `-`

 

shall we do some maths?

Hmmmm...I usually game 20-45hours per week (not including the other games I play which are not on steam/tracked by it) and prices are 5.904 per kWh (night time prices which is 75% of my usage times)+ 12.734p per kWh during the day...

 

edit: wrong prices for electricity stated...

so averagely 8.995p/kWh
averagely 32.5hours per week

a 290x's power consumption is around ~300W including oc
 

around 87.7p each week

~52 weeks a year, so 4560p a year

i dont know what is a p `-` so i cant convert it to usd

 

if its mexicam pesos, converted to usd would be ~264.9 USD

lets go from the other route... lets see
in 1 year your 290x will consume around 507kWh

if it cost $2 per year... it would be 0.0039/kWh `-`

where do you live again? `-`

well swap it to an almost nvidia equivalent ( a 970?), assuming the tdp is 200W (i know its not but for the sake of easier calc, its midnight here so forgive me), you would be using 2/3rd the electricity

so you're spending ~$177

you save about $88 a year on electric bill, in 4 years you can save enough for a new gpu (around $350) `-` assuming the p is mexican pesos

 

forgive me if i made a mistake, its midnight here atm ._. and im watching anime

100p(pennies)=1 Great British Pounds...so it's £4.56 a year with your calculations, which is $6.56 per year, however as I stated I mostly play/use my computer during the night prices, so $5 is about correct (which I can see between the second half 2014+first half 2015 power bills and second half 2015+2016 first quarter bills ) which would mean it would take about 70 years to have saved $350 in the power bills

which also means you lied about the power bill just increasing $2 
you deflated the value by about 250~300%
filthy liar! 

 

edit: also, wouldnt it be 45.6 pounds? since 4560/100 is 45.6?
pls dont tell me i cant basic math while im sleepy, too lazy to get my calculator out for this

My 5820k. GPU is pretty close in value but i got it from an RMA.

My maths skills are terrible right now...you're are indeed correct, I can't do maths  but no, $5~ is the difference I've experienced between running dual 290x and single 290x, £38.23 for the 2nd quarter of 2015 compared to the £39.10 for the 4th quarter of 2015 (I switched cases in july 2015 which also meant I had to take out a 290x due to clearance issues so I started to run a single 290x from there onwards)
