The $4000 you spent on your PC is more than I've spent on gaming in general for the entire generation, and I own over five dozen games spread across five platforms.

You can have the exact same experience with a ~$500 PC and it helps for general use too. People spend far too much on gaming PCs; it's a waste.

Tri-core CPU $80
5770 $135
Motherboard $60
RAM $45
Case/PSU $50
640GB HDD $45
DVD drive $20

Windows license, whatever you can get that for (transfer off old PC, get through school/college/work, otherwise $100

= $435/535

Oh I know there are more reasonable ways to build a PC. I was just stunned by that figure, as it is really and truly outrageous to me.
