lmao, what? Ground floor for building a usable gaming PC is $1,000. A lot more if you want to play new games with decent graphics.
And those games cost money too.
Realistically you’re spending $5,000 on a nice PC, monitors, speakers, accessories, and a collection of games. You’re going to need upgrades and additional games over time so even more money.
I don’t buy it either. My PC + an upgrade 3 years later (with a Ryzen 5800X and a used RTX 3090!) cost me about €2,000. If you want to push it, you add the TV (€1,000) because it serves as a monitor and the whole home cinema setup because the computer is hooked to it (probably about €1,000 as well).
That’s 4k and I’m stretching it. Buy a good monitor for €300, monitoring speakers or headphones for €250 and you’re already set for a high end experience.
As for games… C’mon, y’all know we sail the high seas.

5k? I don’t believe it. When in get home I’ll total up my setup and compare notes

Compared to other “adult hobbies” such as cars even the highest end PC costs peanuts.
A relatively cheap PC with Factorio and you are set. You won’t spend much on food either, so win-win.
