I stand by my original post.
1/2 or 2/3 off, and use the rest for a vacation.
Tyler john - it helps in questions like this to outline exactly what you need, instead of only a (stupidly high) price point.
Finally, in the comments, we have discovered that you need a gaming PC and a machine for 3D rendering. And you and your brother are teenagers.
All of that colors what might be suggested as far as a build goes.
1/2 off, and vacation on the rest. Or a couple months rent somewhere.
you are right on other things but not on my brothers age.he is 29
😀
Well....I'm not going to get into the family dynamics here, but $4000 US is, IMHO, stupidly high.
Build a PC to a function, not a price point. A good gaming PC need not cost $2000. A good 3D rendering PC need not cost $2000.
Build two, and take a couple of nice girls out to dinner on the rest.
Done right, and you'll remember that dinner long after the PC is melted into scrap in a Lagos suburb.
