Oh, but didn’t you know you can just have a friend GIVE you his old stuff when he upgrades, and all you need to buy is that one part? /s
PC gamers are hilarious that way. Out of one side of their mouths, PC is the greatest because of the high-end gear, but it’s also a deal because you can buy cheap parts and almost get the same performance as a console, if you have unlimited free time to tweak and troubleshoot.
PC gamers and Xbots tie their whole personal identity into what they play games on in an emotionally immature and often pathetic way, and they just CANNOT abide their platform/god of choice being shown to be less than they have pushed it to be.
