    I commend you on taking your own entertainment in your hands, but I also find it ironic that you cancelled your streaming services which cost nowhere near 4 grand. If you drop 50 a month on subscriptions, it would take about 6.6 years to spend 4 grand, but it’s much more complex than that and I totally think that a gaming setup is worth so much more than streaming so I get it.

      After 6.6 years of streaming, you will also own absolutely nothing.

        after 6.6 years the hardware will be almost worthless too, if you plan to resell it to someone else

      You realize I didn’t build my PC because I stopped watching streaming I built my PC because I wanted to build a new one and get back into gaming. You realize this computer will last years before I need any sort of upgrade? Lmao I swear some people are just so insufferable with their “insights”

        It’s an insight because many people can’t drop thousands on top of the line gear. Yes streaming is expensive, but if a family has disposable income, odds are they’re going to go for the lower hanging fruit and just get the streaming package, because the alternative is saving for X months/years for parts that are going to be useful, yes, but also completely wipe out savings.
