I commend you on taking your own entertainment in your hands, but I also find it ironic that you cancelled your streaming services which cost nowhere near 4 grand. If you drop 50 a month on subscriptions, it would take about 6.6 years to spend 4 grand, but it's much more complex than that and I totally think that a gaming setup is worth so much more than streaming so I get it.
After 6.6 years of streaming, you will also own absolutely nothing.
after 6.6 years the hardware will be almost worthless too, if you plan to resell it to someone else
That machine he built will not be anything close to worthless after 6.6 years. I literally just last week moved my spare 1080 ti into a second gaming computer. It came out in 2017.
I'm getting a strong vibe that people are just jealous so they have to convince themselves it's not worth it or stupid so they can feel better about not having it themselves.
