My PC was £1500 in 2012. So that's probably around $2500 in your American fun bucks. It's still a good PC today, I can run pretty much everything at a steady 60 fps, but I am just starting to need to drop one or two settings down.

Still, I don't regret a thing. I could have got something as good for less if I could have bothered building it myself rather than getting a specialist to do it.
