So, my specs in the sig are still what i had minus the 1080ti and the 1GB 860evo and the monitor.. My system as a whole though was outdated.. Like my case was from 2004, my water cooling was a modded maze 3 block and radiator/pump from 2001, my keyboard was a mechanical keyboard i love from 1996, my mouse was soem generic microsoft mouse.. In the last 2 months (most just within the last week) i have spent over $2,000 on computer parts....
Here is what i bought in the last week.
1. Asus Rog Strix 1080ti at 770$
2. Asus ROG Gladius 2 mouse 16.8m color $100
3. Thermaltake Poseidon Z keyboard 16.8m colors $100
4. Thermaltake View 71 case $175
5. Thermaltake 360mm water cooling setup $200
6. Thermaltake 120mm 5x fans 16.8m colors with controller. $140
7. 860 EVO 1TB SSD $250
And 2 months ago i bought a Viotek GN27D monitor WAS $400 to replace my 12 year old 19 inch LCD...
Im insane i think... i told myself.. no my case is fine, my keyboard is fine, havent spent a dime on cooling a cpu in 17 years.. Cpu memory and mobo are still good, video card was a r9-290.. monitor was OLDDD and dying... Do the flashy colors, clean everything and new smells justify the 2000$ lol ??
Uhg computers are so expensive today.. never used to be like this.. But in all honesty.. in 20 years of building pcs ive never had the BEST gpu, or a good mouse or keyboard, no good case.. I always have mid tier stuff... So maybe its about time eh ?
