    You can’t even get probably the equivalent graphics card in there for less than $700. I still think PCs are more expensive.

      Thinking is but a step on the path to knowing.

        Last year 1080p displays were still 65% or so of steam users, so there’s a bunch of people would be served perfectly well with older GPUs you can get for a couple hunski instead of buying a 4080 to cram a 12 inch rod through a 4 inch hole.

      You can get a comparable GPU for $400 used (rx 6900 xt) and still have $300 for everything else.
