My dumbass built a PC last year with a 7700x, DDR5 6000 RAM, 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVME, a $250 PSU, a freaking 4090, and stuck it all on a $500 motherboard. Paired it with a 65" 4K 120hz LG OLED with VRR and HDR. All in all I spent over $4K and what do I do with it most of the time? Watch YouTube.

No regrets, though. I could never afford anything nice in my 20s so I wanted to treat myself after my dad died and I collected life insurance. Not to mention that on the rare chance I do play a game, man is it glorious. 100% worth it.

It's sort of last gift from your dad

I like how you put it. He knew about my love for computers, so it really was. Thanks, dad.
