Advice you not to get too deeply into gaming.

Colossal waste of money and time.

As opposed to spending it on 3D movies in the theater?


I remember buying 16MBs of RAM for my 486 for $300 (the RAM was of questionable origin ahem).  Stuff will always be getting faster the second you buy it.  I would spend some of the budget on stuff that doesn't change too often like keyboard, mouse and sound.  Those 3 components are what you physically interact with.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

You should be willing to spend a ton of money every few months for a new, faster graphics card if you're a hardcore gamer (such as me). I remember my old computer I made cost me 1K+. I ended up selling it for more, since I was constantly upgrading it.

It depends if you want a desktop or a laptop. If you want a desktop you could spend between $1000 and $10000 if you buy it from any computer company, or you could try building one for $800 or a $1000 but that would requier you to get the parts yourself. In the other hand, if you want a good laptop, you could buy an alienware.

So I have some money to spend on a gaming computer, just curious what the average cost would be.

I would be building this on my own, or just probably hire someone to do this.

About $700 you can get a good gaming gear. GTX 750ti is cheap Smiley
