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.

I think he was referring to the OP.
"My point is that you don't need 2000 usd rig to play modern gaems."

Still, you can't "crush" games with 900$, that budget will cover only a GPU and CPU for me here in Sweden. You don't need 2000$ to play modern games but you need that or more to pull them off at absolute max at higher resolutions, which is what I'm choosing to consider as "crushing" a game.

While $900 isn't enough for maxing certain games at 1440p/1600p, you can spend a few hundred more and do pretty well at said resolution. Here's a build I just threw together with U.S prices. Also, i think it isn't a good idea to use different countries for a price comparison. Consoles can go over $1000/1500 in certain countries, while PC parts prices remain relatively cheap in said countries. Brazil is a prime example of this.
An $1185 build (before OS key and Keyboard + Mouse and after $90 rebates.)

Much closer to $900 in the U.S than $2000 and it should pass your Metro Redux test.
