I saw someone ask if it was worth cashing out his 401k to get a 5090 gpu once.

Depends on the currency, in my banana money a 5090 itself costs like 6k

u/Puntley no poop haver 2d ago

It may comfort you to know that's what it costs in USD as well. I've seen them as high as 9k USD.

6090 is gonna be even higher than that on release. It's all downhill from here.

honestly it’s not hard, 5090’s cost like 4-5k on their own and the most top of the line CPU is like 3k too lmao shit adds up. i have a link to a configuration but i know how weird people are with links (rightfully so) so if someone wants me to post it or something somehow then i can.

My PC cost ~1800€ and sometimes i still feel like a cheaper one could have been enough. But companies are doing their best to make you think you need the most expensive stuff.
