Being a PC enthusiast

[_Bata_]

I mainly use my computer for youtube and league of legends, only sometimes i edit videos for college projects. The thing is, even though i don't need the most expensive skylake i7, watercooling or a high end GPU like the pascal titan X, i still aim for those and upgrade to only really expensive things after saving for months. Friends tell me it's silly spending so much money on things i don't really need, but i can't help it, i just want to have the best of the best inside my PC, i don't even have saved money cause everything i get i spent it. Can anyone relate to this? i'd like to hear some feedback and recomendations...

Its me you speak about? I am not sure why I do this, but I want quality parts in my pc too. Like a good motherboard and psu, when others save the money there and buy better graphics card. Or the mechanical keyboard for same precise typing and gaming over years. And I love it, that all parts are handpicked for quiet operation with best case fans. The only thing which I don't care are lightning effects or other aesthetics at the case; it just should look boring. I absolutely understand you in this way. My friends say that I am insane or an idiot to give so much more money for the build, when I could pick cheaper parts. I think, the better the parts are, the longer the build will live with less problems. Of course, it depends on if you want overclock too, which I don't.

You're not alone. I went through 3 big upgrades, a sell and rebuild to color match and 5 different graphics cards. all this over the coarse of two years and I'm about $5k deep. Thats not including ~$800 in loss from selling, repurchasing or dropping parts altogether.

Very nice desktop there. And funny that you hat a sheet for pricing, like me in a more simple form. My sheet was more for calculating the wattage and pricing too.
