My current main pc cpu was only 350ish$(1700x) and my itx pc (7700k) but will be building a threadripper build so yea it's cpu will be more than 500$. Not rich just work hard and invest smart for my money.
my old computer based on 500$ budget, bought new an used on ebay, built yrs ago, a10-6800k, 8 gigs ddr3, msi gaming mobo, gtx 970, corsair gs700 psu, fractile design case, 1tb harddrive. it still runs all the new games. wasnt fancy but work just fine
You think we can just shake that amout of money out of our pockets? No.. We just save money to buy high-end pc parts.. Aleast I did and I'm proud of what I've build so far.. So stop being a jealous cunt and start saving yourself
