It's not really absurdly expensive if you have a job. Even a real shitty low paying one is enough to save up some money for a decent rig if you have an ounce of self control with money.

>just pay $70+ dollars for all of your games plus $70/year just to play online, bro.

I work part time and I could still afford to build a topline.
Just don't spend money on a ridiculous stupid shit for a while, its not hard.
Unless you live in like California or New York or wherever else has retarded housing and rent costs.

And are you still playing on your PS2/Xbox, then?

>year later get new CPU/mobo
>year after pickup a cheap used r9 280x

My i5 won't need an upgrade for quite a bit. Will buy a new GPU in 6-12mo

While console bros are cucked with no upgrades, oh xbone or ps4 not enough fps? Buy or newer model!

Hey there sonybro

Now is literally the only time I wouldnt recommend building a PC, fucking etherium miners

>>382042210
Yes actually

>>382042379
Etherium is based on hard drive space? That altcoin shouldn't affect GPU prices or consumer drives to be frank

First post is the absolute most annoying post. I fell for that meme once due to comments like this. You have to make sure all parts are in stock before buying, otherwise you are setting yourself up to be ripped off.

Are you retarded?

I'd need maybe 2 grand. Way more if I want to upgrade my old ass monitors as well. That's not happening any time soon.
Good thing PC gaming is shit so I'm in no rush.

Fuck him. I'm not angry he didn't follow my advice. I'm angry he's so irresponsible with money, doesn't research shit and proceeds to waste my time. The worst part was he lied to his dad about why he was low on money so he could get some more dosh.

>>382044574
i have a friend who is always asked about PC shit and yet nobody takes his advice, they do it their own way, and then go back to him when things inevitably fuck up

i can't tell if he seeks out terrible people to associate with or if they flock to him

>>382044574
i have a friend whos dirt poor, and his dad bought him a gaming laptop that was like $1300 and he refused to ever play games on it because "it gets too hot and it will break"

so he just uses it to watch capeshit movie trailers and download capeshit movies

he got an xbox one later, yet he fucking broke the laptop in more ways than i can even keep track of anyway, for one the whole top half with the display is just falling off

doesnt even take it anywhere, just slams his fists onto it when he gets mad like a fucking retarded toddler

Hahaha totally that same 5 year old game certainly wouldn't be it's original price on steam assuming it's not on sale

>>382044324
Not him but no don't do that. Sure a pre built can be good and have no problems but you have to pay more for less. Doing a little research and buying parts saves you money. But its up to you really

>>382044324
not the person if you have the money. i did that with my first computer. i bought it like almost 11 years ago. it was when core two duos were about came out. about three years later i bought a new psu and a video card.

i have a prebuilt one also. i wanted a friend to build it but that didn't come out.

>>382045198
sales pretty much permanently effect the prices of keys sold on 3rd party sites, i mean they slowly go back up when its over i think, but very slowly, so actually you can get it for far less

just check g2a or something

>>382044298
?

>>382044804
>>382045179
I want to confirm something. Do both of you sometimes think those friends are more like parasites you only talk to out of obligation?

There's such a clear difference on who you can spend time with without feeling like it's wasting time out of your day.
