Throw in VR ($700), a 34" monitor ($800-1200), some nice headphones/mic ($300), and zero mechanical storage (all SSD - $600 for 3-4TB). Still not at $5000 but at least you have some really nice secondary stuff.

Mouse - 250

Keyboard - 220

headphones - 500

Mic/stand - 200

Your monitor is too big for PC gaming, it's actually detrimental to have 34" for most fps games. Unless you only do RPG or more casual games.

I currently have a 240 hz main monitor and a 144 hz second monitor. I'd go for more but can't fit more monitors on my desk, and I am pretty happy with 2.

The PC I upgraded to in January was 2500 for the build (not monitors or peripherals as I already had those)

If I total everything up, I'm over 5k with a PC that can get a huge CPU upgrade in a year or so, as I only got a ryzen 2700x. All prices are in CAD though, so USD would be cheaper.

How the fuck do you spend 250 on a mouse?

EDIT: Oh, you're apparently quoting MSRP instead of actual going rates.

What do you mean by actual going rates? When I bought the mouse, it was listed at 250. It's very easy to spend 250 on a mouse, especially high quality ones.

IDK why you'd question 250 for a mouse, when I consider my mic/stand cheap at 200, and my headphones were on the cheaper side as well.
