"$1750 spent" Topic

So I bought my computer some 4 years ago, and have upgraded it now and then, more ram, new 3d cards ect, but there has been a generation change, so I now needed everything totaly new.

So I spent my christmas money and some saved up money, Got a new motherboard, new 3d card, new ram, new cpu, new harddrive and new dvd rom.

I have a perfectaly good cabinet, so I just ripped out the old stuff and put in the new stuff.

What OS?

Do you mean $1,750 USD?

Win 7 64bit
Yes One thousand sevenhoundred and fify dollars.

You got ripped off. I got a complete state of the art system, fully built and delivered to my door less than a year ago for about $900. USD

I guess stuff is REALLY expensive in Norway?

No, actualy computer stuff is very cheap in norway, one of the few cheap tings here, I just buy all top of the line stuff.

I was thinking the same thing … I read the PC rags and they list the prices to build systems piece by piece (I admit, its mostly window-shopping and dreaming of a powerful gaming rig on my part, but I do read the tech section looking at prices).

That much money for those parts seems a lot of cash… is it import duties that drive up the price, or just profiteering like the Australia markup?

Ah, you bought quality parts. That'll do it. I'm too hamfisted to play twitch games any more, so I buy commodity hardware and last-year's videocard.

My 3d card cost the same here as on amazon, so hard to beat price.
