You guys and your beastly computers. How I envy you.

All I can say is they really aren't that exspensive.  A PC is only as expensive as you want it to be.  In fact I could build you a PC now that is stronger than the Xbox One for the same price or cheaper...

Agreed. Enthusiast PCs are beastly priced, but just to have a "beast", wouldn't take much more than $500-$600.


Agreed.
Once you hit the $1,000 mark you begin to get diminishing returns in price/performance.
If you can build your PC at a price lower than that, over the long term it *is* cheaper than console gaming if you are the kind of person who buys allot of games.


Yeah I would agree the $1000 mark is the sweet spot right now unless you wanna make it supper nice.  Mine cost ~$1300 total but I have a 500GB SSD (For the extra durability since I constantly am traveling), a Blueray player, and 3 OVERPOWERED fans with a controller so I can safely overclock my GPU to insane levels...

Btw I have a question about your 1440p eyefinity.  What is the performance drop when going from 1 monitor to three?  I experimented with it a little and it didn't seem like it was 1/3rd.
