High end is gonna cost you 2.5k. Rtx 4090 is 1600usd or 7900xtx is 1000usd. CPU+mobo+ram+cpu cooler will cost another 1000usd. Then you have power supply, ssd, case....
Closer to $2k, and a solid midrange would be around $1.3k. Not a huge difference, especially if I could be happy with keeping the high end twice as long.
If I can view it in per year terms, I can totally trick myself into justifying it! I'm basically saving money!
Just be sure to get the screen with it. I know a guy who's thrown so much at a PC for his 1080p 60hz monitor. My RX6600 w/ i3 PC will do that. More most of the time right now.
Could pay half that for a 3090, game tech is probably never going to advance to a point where a 3090 can't handle any game you throw at it unless LK-99 turns out to be a real superconductor and CPUs pretty much don't factor into game performance at all anymore.

Oof.
Yeah, if I do go high end, I'll be targeting at least 1440p144.
