QOTW: Which is the most expensive component in your PC?

[dfour]

My 290x. Pre-ordered it for £410.

My case. All other parts are justified, but the Lian Li case..I've been buying em since I was a nipper, the first PC I ever built I got the money from being in an accident, and ever since then I've been using their cases.

CPU but I got it in a bundle with a new mobo and RAM so not sure of the individual price (total was £165). Beyond that, probably my first 250GB SSD which was £70 a couple of years back.

I'm very much in the bargain basement variety of upgraders!

My SSD is red. Much more expensive than black ones.

msi GTX 970 GAMING 100ME

My i5 6600K Skylake CPU is the most expensive part of my PC bought for £190, the GPU is a R280 which i got for £180 (3 years ago) so only £10 between them.

The PC is new except the GPU, as i ran out of money but it runs like a champ

My three £70 monitors together cost more than any single component in my PC, and probably give me the best value for money.

R9 380 - cost me £180

Got an R9 280 as well, bought the cheapest one (XFX) and it overclocks like a champ without any voltage increase. I tend to keep it at 1120/1550 for super stable but it can do 1190/1575 but occasional crashes. Think it can go a lot further with some increase in voltage but don't want to risk it at the moment until I have something newer.

Hmm... come to think of it I believe my Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB SSD is the most expensive component in my pc at the moment. That's mainly because I got a good Black Friday deal on that GTX 970.

My case

Coolermaster ATCS 110, it was £255 back in 2003 when I bought it. I was on about £3.50 an hour, washing up in a restaurant after school.

I've modified it a bit since then, it now has a floor mounted 140mm intake fan to bring it into the same cooling performance as newer cases



-edit, actually my i7 was more than that, but the case 'cost' me more at the time.

Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Gaming, cost £620 new. 1080Ti is teasing me but I really want a Freesync 2 monitor this year while Nvidia still can't work out how to do Adaptive Sync.

My AMD RX 480 8Gb at £250. Nothing else has much value now and I only spent £330 on combined CPU/MB/RAM over 4 years ago.
