I was just wondering if I was the only sick dude here that bought new hardware every year? Heres the list of $$$$$ i have spent on my current setup lol...

CPU HS: $93

Mobo: $149.99

Ram: $177.

GPUs: $398

Psu: $130

Case: $180

Display: $150

Sound Card: $99.99

Total: $1607! (Moment of purchase, not current price)

Wow! This is an expensive hobby!!! An im not even adding my keyboard, mouse, speakers, and various case mods. Oh well it is sure hell worth it :lol:

I think I spent close to 4000 on mine, considering all the upgrades I've done to it. Let's see...

CPU $240

motherboard 180

memory 90

hard drive 60

dvd drive 24

CM 690 Case 80

Prolimatech Megahalems 90

Fans 40-50 ish

Dual 4890's 450 ish

750w power supply 130

20 inch monitor 120

-----------------------------

Then, upgrades:

Titan Fenrir 60

Venomous X-RT 70

1TB Hard Drive 90

128GB SSD 220

Gelid Icy Vision cooler 70

G.Skill ECO 4GB DDR3-1333 CL7 100

MCR320 radiator and SLI connector 55

Two 480 waterblocks 220

Tubing, barbs, and other WC accessories 100

I spend waaaay too much on this hobby :?

I think I spent close to 4000 on mine, considering all the upgrades I've done to it.

About $450-500. Some parts reused from prebuilt (memory, DVD drive)

Roughy $1200 to $1300 including tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, desk, and chair. It's tough to calculate the exact amount since I did some trading along the way.

This year i've spent 900-ish.

$85 on a new chair.

$338 on a 2nd 24 inch monitor.

$370 on a Radeon HD6970.

$200 on a new case.

Planning to spend around $250 on two LCD arm mounts and another $150 on a new desk.

I paid:

CPU: $65

RAM: $100

Mobo: $80

Video card: $200

HDD: $130

Case: $100

PSU: freebie

OS: freebie

ext HDD: $100

.

I spent roughly $775 on my current hardware. That doesn't include the cost of older hardware I replaced.

Total spent this year? $190 in early Jan on my HD 6850. Can't wait to upgrade my CPU but I'm waiting for Bulldozer to arrive.

Initial build was $700 in 2009 and I've dropped probably an extra $200 into it since then.

All I need now is a videocard upgrade and I'll be set for a while.

Roughly 900 on the tower(see specs below) and I bought a razer deathadder for 44 and a logitech g510 for 90.

Reused monitor and speakers from old build and used windows 7 pro from school(programming student).

Yeap Ive swapped all my old hardware with my current setup. Luckily where I live I can sell my used stuff for the same price as new in the US and in some cases a little bit higher. Thats how I can keep the process going :D , for example I just bought a new 6970 for $360, I plan on selling my 5830s for $200 each here in Venezuela. And trustme theyll go like hot bread.

This isn't going to be pretty:

Prebuilt PC w/ monitor (Feb 2009): $1200
Extra RAM: $70
Gaming mouse: $70
Replacement hard drive: $30
External hard drive: $60
Replacement graphics card: $180
2nd card for Crossfire: $180
Replacement PSU: $80
Replacement monitor: $200
Replacement tower: $200
Keyboard: $100
SSD: $100
Replacement graphics card: $500
Replacement PSU: $90
Another hard drive: $50
Replacement CPU cooler: $30
Replacement mobo (Feb 2011): $380

So, in all about $3500 over a 2-year period. The only things left from the prebuilt are the i7 and 3GB of RAM. Kinda puts things into perspective for myself about how much I actually invest into this hobby. But at the moment I'm finally satisfied with my current build.

1200$ for tower,200$ for 2nd 1080P monitor and I just upgraded to a 460 1gb,so another 200$

Over 2 years and ½,not bad :P

I've spent about $1600 including tax.

About $1600 or so.

Like $4000 including monitor, peripherals, chair in the last 2 years.

And the dam thing isn't watercooled :p

my initial pc was about 900 about 3 years ago. i don't remember how much some of the stuff was, but i probably spent over 1k. i'm currently building a new one and once that build is finished, it'll cost me about 2k. i know that's a lot but i'm going completely overkill and trying to make it as futureproof as i can. already bought a third hard drive and an i7 2600k, i video edit and stuff like that so the i7 2600k if the better choice for me. i hope going overkill will stop the constant bsod's im getting. 9 in the past 6 days is pretty annoying. themagicbum9720
