Was that aimed at me? Since I mentioned 2000$ I mean.
A few problems with your statement, one being that hardware components is a lot more expensive in some regions, I live in one such region. Another one is that "you can crush any game out there maxed for less then $900" is simply not true. A game like Metro 2033 Redux at 1440p on ultra will eat up most hardware setups and I've seen rigs with a clocked 980 GTX struggle with even older titles. A clocked 980 GTX will be seeing 45-60 FPS on Metro Last Light Redux, for instance, that is hardly "crushing" it. Hitman: Absolution on ultra and 1440p and 8x AA on the same card will yield merely 30-36 FPS, which is considered quite poor on PC. These figures will wary based on the entire setup but 2000$ is not a huge fortune at all when it comes to true performance and anyone who spends a lot of time with PC's will tell you as much.
