@mbrogz3000: I paid $1,800 total for all the parts almost 2 years ago now. Only things I've upgraded since were the RAM and AIO. Wen't from 2133MHz to 3000, and switched from air to liquid for the CPU cooler.
@PCsama: Yeah, for $7,000 you might as well have bought an iMacPro. Macs have really good resale value.
I don't wanna sound like a tech nazi but so you don't get ragged on later, know that you don't have DDR5 RAM, but DDR3. DDR5 won't be out till 2020, minimum. Also, DDR3 maxes out at 2400MHz and Intel CPU's didn't start using DDR4 till Skylake, which came out 2015.
@santinegrete: That'll make your PC more vulnerable to malware/viruses...etc, since you won't be able to get any security updates if you don't "upgrade" to that creators bullshit. Same with all those people using Windows 7.
@jako998: Probably, though it would be smarter in reality to sell that 1060 in 2 years and use that money to upgrade to a 2060 (if that's what they'll call it). You won't get much by selling it in 4 years, so you'd have to pay nearly full price for an upgrade.
@bfa1509: People do, it's just all too expensive at the moment. To play any demanding game at 4K requires a 1080Ti or above. So most have chosen to buy something more sensible, the 1060. Eventually though, gaming at 4K will be as common as 1080p and will no longer be a "gimmick".
@sellingthings: The 1060 use to be the best bang for your buck, so being the most common GPU out there makes sense. Don't need a survey to tell us that. Honestly, I'm surprised it's not the 970.
