Mine was - just - the ~ £270 I spent on an 8800 GTX back in January 2008, but it's a close run thing with the £265 I spent on a 15" TFT monitor in 2004. I think the next most I've spent on something personally is less than half that amount, and I've built whole computers for significantly less!
Not sure this counts, but I remember spending around NZ$100 on the adapter/kempston joystick for the Spectrum 48k - spending my entire life savings up to that point on it. Blew it up y accident a week or two later by removing it without turning off the power. Bitter memory. Feel a tear coming...
About £170 on a graphics card. I usually buy a mid range card when they drop below the £200 mark.
a few months ago I went mad & bought a 1080 ti Kingpin for $1600AUD
Bought a pair of original Titans (EVGA) for SLi. Just over £900 each before the water cooling blocks. Still have them sat in my cupboard if anyone wants them!
$324 for Intel i7-4790K and
$320 for Asus VG278HV monitor.
First buy the Asus Dual GTX 1070 OC 8Gb 450€ and next the GPU Asus Strix GTX 1080Ti Assassin´s Creed 900€= 1.300€
Around £600 on an iiyama Vision Master Pro 511 (22" CRT) back in 2001... 1600x1200 at a glorious 100Hz.
about £660 on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x and loving it
£170 on current 770 graphics card ...
£480 on my 1080 mini last year. Well, I say £480, minus amazon vouchers and profit made on selling my rx580 to a miner my cash outlay was £80.
About £330 (iirc) on my monitor bought about the same time, had to pay all that but it was worth it.
Grab that. Get that. Check it out. Bring that here. Grab anything useful. Take anything good.
Whoops! How could I forget the wonderful Dell U2414H for £198
around 200 for my 1060, saving up for a 1180 if miners dont get them all
