I hope there won't ever be a PC game that requires a $36,000+ computer!

[magelord01]

I basically configured a Falcon Northwest Talon and pimped it up so much that it would cost over $36,000! Pretty much the only way for an everyday person to afford that much PC would be by winning a Power Ball jackpot! Therefore, a game with system requirements that high would sell only a very few copies. I especially don't want to see a PC game that requires a multi-thousand-dollar graphics card that would normally be used by professional graphic designers. Or especially TWO such graphics cards! Yes, both NVIDIA and AMD offer their own way to have two identical graphics cards in one computer. For NVIDIA, it's SLI; and for AMD, it is CrossFire.

what about

Club Neverdie – Entropia Universe – $635,000

Entropia Universe is an MMORPG made for entrepreneurs, here you can buy and sell all kinds of items, properties and even entire planets. Such a transaction was made when a seasoned trader, Jon “Neverdie” Jacobs, mortgaged his real life home to be able to purchase a virtual asteroid. After a few days when many other wealthier players tried to buy the asteroid from him but got refused, John transformed it into a planetary resort and called it Club Neverdie. It seems that he speculated well and this business was bringing him $200,000 per year from players that were visiting the stadium and the shopping center available. However, in 2010 he finally sold Club Neverdie in pieces for the colossal sum of $635,000. Guess the investment paid off.

Have you thought about just buying a plane instead?

Yeah, pretty sure you could get your pilot's license for near that.

The everyday person doesn't need most of what you chose. Most is overkill and is more geared towards a power workstation than a gaming rig.

I find it funny they built a machine that is useless for gaming and only for rendering and AI.

This is a sign of someone just picking the highest price parts and not knowing what they are doing, and should never build a PC.

That would be like me using an A16 for running games, not good =P

Not sure why hou would be needing RTX A6000 gpu? Basiclly say that those part wont run any games even half decently.

For anyone that did not notice, he did just pick highest price parts, its not something he really made

@OP higher price don't make a better PC, the real high priced stuff is nowmally spaslized hardware, that may be weaker for most uses, but is great for some spsfic usage, as the company needs to create a factory line to make it, they bump the price for it, a simple Supply and Demand

So someone may need it, but likely with only one screen or no screen as its likely to be more a processing station the something someone actively work on

Also dont add the arunding things for a PC price, that is just silly

And if you really just want a pricey PC check a price for a Watson
