Believe it was £285 on my R9 Nitro. What a deal.
£286 on a GTX 970. I can't justify too much expense and as a gamer the gpu is of course the best place to spend.
Nvidia 8800 Ultra, I think it was about £500. I refuse to go that mad again even though it ran Crysis flawlessly with my Q6600.
asus monitor rog pg278qr about £630 should last me 10 years before i go 4k
With these DDR prices, I'd only say: A FRICKIN' LOT! :)
$1100 on a Viewsonic Pxxx (can't remember anymore...LOL) back ~1997 or so I think and about the same for a mitsubishi diamondtron monitor (both for cad/proe testing and testing vid card 20 packs). Other than that Dell 24 2407WFP-HC ($650 or so). It would seem my most expensive parts are always monitors. Never more than $500 (ok $510 for 1070ti) for any other part. I'm happy letting rich people fund R&D :) Thank god for them or guys like Potbellieddwarf funding Titan's so the rest of us can get the same thing a year later instead of 3-4yrs later ;) Thanks man.
Not to say I'm dogging those people either, if I was making more money I'd buy a titan every freaking year or maybe two-four! Just not reasonable on my budget, nor is it needed. My EYES though, are massively important. I've already had lasik, so I don't want a crap monitor making me blind again ;) As a person growing up on monochrome, amber, green crap monitors (took years before we had color monitors back ~1982) for apple //e etc, I can tell YOUNGER people, PAY FOR A GREAT MONITOR! Or, hope you have $5k for a good lasik doctor in a decade or two ($299 per eye...LOL no way you'd touch my eyes for that). My whole family had to do this after decades of looking at rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe monitors. :( I'd rather have another Dell 27/30in that doesn't have freesync/gsync (I'm stuck with a future gsync or bust for now for next monitor), rather than a crap monitor having either of these and suffering my eyes degrading over time. Got a Radeon RMA coming that maybe will have freesync so I'll perhaps have a monitor choice both ways.
PLEASE LISTEN young people. Not being able to read signs on the road sucks, and glasses suck too! :) $89 24in? You get what you pay for! My dell 24 has been running happily for ~10yrs ;) Still looks as good as the day I bought it! 1920x1200 too ;) When you figure how long a great monitor lasts, it's worth every penny. I'd pay $1200 for a dell 30in with gsync 16:10! I'm sure they'd sell like mad too with all the pent up 16:10 demand that people want to browse etc. Web sucks today on these short monitors - just saying.
About $900 (purchased in PLN, though) for a 1080Ti. Pity is I moved most of my gaming to Nintendo Switch just a couple of months later. It's still there, though, and I've got some AAA games to play on it, just don't have the time right now.
Probably my Oculus Rift ~£500 I think
At the time... it was GTX 8800 Ultra... 646€
I spent a little over $2,000 dollars on two Titan X cards a few years ago (one per PC).
~£1700 on two Maxwell Titan X GPUs.
£680 for an Acer XB271HU screen. Monitors are a long-term investment, so no regrets about this one :)
£345 on a Sapphire VaporX 7970GHz, 5 years ago. I'm trying to update it, but now is not possible. I'll wait a few months for a more stable prices.
Pre-ordered the Samsung 960 Pro 1TB when it first came out, cost a hefty £600+. Never order kit that's new on the market, I know, but I couldn't resist it.
$2500 for a X286, 4mb memory and a 210mbHD.
I had more computer than the company I worked for did. They were still swapping floppies.
I got them to finance it.
