Plus you PC evangelicals people are very deceptive, and sus. Watch.
Oh well, that's only literally 1500 dollars, make it 2000 with windows 10, and a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Well, thanks to the crypto craze there’s probably about a 110% premium attached to that price tag. Unfortunately unless it collapses or GPU makers occasionally rethink logistics for supplying the average consumer it’s doubtful we’ll ever see GPU prices normalized again. I get the impression those heavily involved in this see themselves as pioneering messiahs of sorts, ushering in a shiny new saving grace of a currency that will free the world from its shackles of financial doom and gloom.
See, this is the kind of disingenuous dismissive attitude that gets on my nerves, sometimes.Plus you PC evangelicals people are very deceptive, and sus. Watch.

The thing is, it’s pointless to even chase the biggest and best unless you have a huge nergo (nerd ego) or work for someplace like Tom’s Hardware where this stuff is literally provided anyways. The whole point of PC gaming is choice, and that whole heartedly extends to budget. Literally anything beyond that is...you’re better off chasing a unicorn because hardware advancements are constant. Hell considering that, it may as well also be about exercising self control.
Your right no one is buying that PC for 3400. What they are doing is buying a 2000 dollar prebuild, then ripping the RTX 3080 out of it, then selling the prebuild, then getting the rest of the parts.
I only just upgraded my CPU/Mobo/RAM combo from a fourth generation i7 which was released in May 2014. All I upgraded in that time was the GPU. It still kicked the ever loving shit out of every game I threw at it. If you buy a decent processor, it will last a really long time. I don’t expect to upgrade my Ryzen9 3900 for some years because I fail to see what a 12-core CPU won’t be able to handle in my foreseeable future.
Look I just don't want to upgrade, it's a pain in the ass. Why can't we just agree to stop at 4k gaming? No one can even see the difference in 8k vs 4k but suspect we will have 16k, 32k.
Are you kidding? We're not stopping until the fidelity is so fucking high that getting hit in the game hurts you, the player, physically.
If you don’t want to upgrade, then don’t. Buy a well specced pre-built and don’t touch anything. I don’t mind the odd upgrade. Especially something as (usually) simple as a GPU.
Literally no one is forcing you to do any of those things.
