Think about it, I bought a MachV at $3700+ and then a short time later installed a new HD at $200 and bought a new monitor at around $250. If you toss in the other stuff I already had like a speaker system, mouse, keyboard and mousemat then I have spend close to $5000 easily.

$5000 is a year of college tuition at a good in-state school in most of the US 
I love videogames, and a high end computer helps me for school/future career, but my current pc is around 400 dollars off and on and my total expenses over the last 6 years is no greater than 1.5k. It's a great hobby and it's worth spending money on but i don't see it being worth sacrificing other things in life. I would have a hell of a lot less ability to pursue hobbies like boxing and jiujitsu or to cover transportation costs and school if i dumped that kind of money on PCs -- but i'm young, and dont have a lot of income atm.

Stop the divisions people...band together and say what you want from GAMES, not platforms.

I'll have to check my wife's pulse if she allowed me to spend a total of $5000....but then again, I spent over $5000 on jewelry on her
