    Even though this is a couple years old now I feel better about my current rig. I built it as an upgrade from my I5 about a year ago and it outclasses the "Gentleman" on pretty much everything and just behind the "Glow-Up" mostly... Rizen 5 3600, 1tb nvme m.2 (PCIEx4) for everything that runs, 1tb HDD for storage, 32gb ram (2x16gb), rtx 1650 super (4gb) all attached to a b550 tomahawk. Cost me about $1500 Canadian. Still can't crank everything in some games but I'm willing to sacrifice on shadows.
    At this point though I think it would be classed at about the "Midrange"... probably.

    Crazy how fast technology changes in 2 years. Minus the dual graphics card absurdity, I’m gaming on high settings at 1440p for about $1800 all in. Somewhat comparable experience to this $7k build. Found some good deals on pc parts and a monitor. Landed a 3060ti from MSI at msrp for $659. More than I wanted to spend but the gpu apocalypse squeezed me for an extra $250 or so. I wonder what the price to performance build will look like two years from now

      At a similar roughly $1000 USD mark, It at least briefly included the likes of a Ryzen 5 5600, B550 mobo, 2x16GB DDR4 3600 CL18, an RX 6800XT, a 1TB NVMe SSD, a 650W 80PLUS Bronze(or better)PSU, and a decent case with some fans and a tempered glass side panel. However, memory prices have crept back up some(affecting SSDs and Ram mostly) making a similar build more difficult(if not impossible) to do without increasing the budget to some extent.

    so my recent build came in at $4844.68 Canadian it's £2825.47 in Scotland where i live and i'm VERY happy with it it's an absolute monster when it comes to gaming, The reason i spent more is basically because it's one of my only passions.. I don't have kids, me and my fiance split bills, I work 48 hours a week so adds up to a fairly okish wage and honestly it makes me feel good spending money on something i absolutely love doing. The only upgrades i will need over the coming years is maybe a cpu and mobo in 2-3 years depending on what releases and how mine performs by then and the actual gpu i want when the stock issues are resolved. I can say it does feel great playing on a higher end pc BUT i spent years on low-mid range pc's and had a lot of fun even if it meant turning settings down all the time it didn't ruin the gaming experience one bit.

      A more reasonable 240 GB SSD is around $30 which is still cheaper than a 1TB Blue at $45 or a Barracuda 2TB for $50.

    I'll be 42 next month, and my gaming wheelhouse is circa 1992. I bought the SNES Classic to relive my adolescence, but I have to admit "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" looks so incredible even at 1080p 60 that I might just have to try it sometime. I have a gaming laptop that I bought for creative work, so it has the horsepower to handle it.
    I would be concerned that I would get overwhelmed by it not being used to that style of 3D gameplay at all, so is there something that might be more like training wheels before diving into a game that sophisticated?
    Keep in mind, I'm used to playing games like "Mega Man X" and "Zelda: A Link to the Past." DOTA 2 looks kind of Zelda-like.
