I built a $3,000 performance desktop a few years back, and the main games games I ended up playing on it were things like FTL, Shovel Knight, SNES emulators, and other games that could be run on an overclock ham sandwich.
Really curious what a $3000 performance bulld looks like
A few years back, a really nice graphics card was like $650, so $3,000 got you a lot of performance.
Unlike these days when it looks like 3000$ will get you a GPU and a water block for that GPU, if you want to spread your budget as thick as possible.
Wasn’t the original Titan like 1000$ and considered a ludicrously expensive piece of luxury tech?
