I don't see how a gaming only pc has $3800 of non-gpu costs. There has to be a threadripper equivalent cpu and/or a shit ton of storage/ram on there.

The cure is one of the jokers. Just keep playing Balatro, you're close to finding a way to quit.

My desktop is literally only used for gaming (I have a separate PC for everything else) and I spent probably 3-4k on it.
Buy a lot of high end NVMe storage and I could easily see it costing 5k.

Motherboards aren't cheap, nor is the top of the line CPUs. The 7950x3D is still $600 on amazon. X670e boards start at like $200 and go up over $500 easily. If you just say fuck it and buy the best you can easily hit that number, especially if you throw in some high end storage drives.
I'm looking to replace my CPU, mobo and ram and I'm looking at at least $1200 for that.

Used graphics card prices aren't that much better than new.
The 4090 still has a VRAM advantage over the 5080 so it's probably going to continue to hold it's value pretty well. Especially since there's a massive voice in pricing between the $1k 5080 and the $2k 5090.
Unless the 24gb ARC GPU comes out (or AI crashes) I see the 4090 just not depreciating a substantial amount. And that's the only option that would compare to the 5080 since AMD isn't even trying to make high end.

I'm happy with my legion go, it can handle most aaa games pretty well. And if I want to upgrade later on, I'll get an eGpu. Modular gaming system ftw

Did Starfield become a good game?

Not OP but my GPU is a decade old, would be nice to have the latest for once.

Me going back to hollow knight, celeste, modded minecraft, and dead cells instead of buying new games

Maybe I'm missing some important details, but isn't an eGPU still limited to throughput of the thunderbolt connection?

lol. I don't think I'd ever
It'd need to be a really pretty girl to get me in to that. lol
Seriously tho... The Finals

You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won't be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.

Me modding the 2D pixel art game with ultra HD textures, shaders, reflections, realistic physics engine, ray tracing.

Me upgrading my computer to kick ass just so I can play Old School Runescape

Unless you're getting a 5090 the pcie bottleneck should be negligible compared to your CPU or other things.
On pcie 3 the 4090 gets about a 5% performance penalty. I'd assume the 5080 is about the same performance as the 4090 so the hit should be similar. Unless you're like me with a 5800x3d on a garbage B450 motherboard your CPU is probably going to be holding you back so much more than the pcie version.

Depends if you like starfield
