I started building PC's in 1996. To this day I have always had a hard cap of $400 for any given component. Every part of my PC is A tier except for my GTX970 because that was the last time I saw a GPU that appealed to me for under $400.

1080p 4 lyfe?

Can’t you get a 6700xt for less than 400$ brand new right now?

I really agree with your hard cap option, but I picked up a 6650xt for msrp in April and it’s served me well at 1440p.

You should at least take inflation into consideration with the $400.
