I have an HP Compaq with 2 gigs of ram and an ASUS ENGT240 which only cost $100.Runs Rise of Flight like it's nothin,Bad Company 2 like a beast,FSX like it's not even there.DCS:Black Shark clocks at around 20-30FPS.CoDs 4,WaW,MW2 run like a beast as well.Not even mentioning the $70 500GB hard drive.
The overall value of my box is around $750,not alot at all.
Oh yeah it also uses an ''Old now'' Core2 Duo.Avging at 2.83GHz.

BTW these games are all set to max settings too.

"Problem" is that most people aint content with playble frames anymore. Alot of them actually think they can see the differance between 50 fps and 150 fps + they just have to crank everything to max, even though 36x AA doesnt look one bit differant to 16x AA (generally speaking). Alot of them also seems to forget there are other things that causes lagg/stutter etc. than "bad" equipment (crappy coding/internetconnection/hardrives full of p*rn etc) when playing online so they upgrade every singel year with every new release of a game/GPU/CPU that hits the shelfse= giant waste of money.


Its pretty much a useless time and money consuming hobby to uppgrade, iv been there myselfe altough to my defence my last upgrade was secondhand stuff.
