Honestly, If you were gonna save up to spend on a computer how much would you spend?

I was reading an article today that said $0-1000 are low tier computers.. $1001-2000 are mid tier computers... and $2001+ are high end computers...

So how much would you really spend on a computer?

Right now I'm looking at buy a 4600+ amd athlon dual core with 2 gigs of ram, 320 gigs of memory a liquid cooling system all for about obviously a sony dual layer dvd burner (no monitor or windows as i own them already)

Now i'm not putting in a physics card, nor am i putting in a high end videocard, because i don't play games like halo, counterstrike, doom 3, quake 4, etc... I like to use my computer as a media center to watch videos and play games that don't require highend graphics cards...

to that end i'm putting in a nvidia geforce 7300 gt 512 16x pci express x 16 video card

all this for 1052 dollars...

I guess if i had to buy a monitor and operating system... i'd have to fork out another 4-500 bucks and end up in the mid tier range... what about you guys? i see these computers online for like 400 bucks.. and others for 4000, and think man 400 bucks isn't gonna do much... but 4000..-18000 wtf are those guys thinking!!! (go to apple.com and build the most expensive thing you can for the macpro you'll see what i mean...


??Gadzooks man - are you planning on running a small media business from your home??

What in the world do I need 2 gigs of Ram and 320 gigs of memory for??? I can only think of two logical uses for having such enhancements. The first would require one to be a hardcore gamer, the second would be if one were attempting to do a lot of downloads(using a file sharing service).

The cooling system is really unnecessary to me as well, as there is no real notable proof that such systems that have them -- last that much longer than those that don't have them on standard PC's(and they can also be dangerous, as they can also cause various portions of the motherboard to rust and erode).

All that being stated - I could not see myself spending more than 600 - 800 on a PC.
