Opinions are like assholes everyone has one
And I disagree with yours.
and people scoff when I tell them just spend a good $1500 upfront and you'll have pc that'll run pretty much everything, for at least 10 years, maybe you upgrade the cpu, add ram, or swap the gpu, it's still cheaper over all, if you account time
You'll spend more buying the newest console like you buy smartphones, every 3-5 years
Spending $1500 won't get you ten years and upgrading the cpu, ram and gpu basically turns it into a new computer.
Trigger's awarded a medal for saving the council money by using the same broom for over 20 years... or is it?
