I've just built a $1200 PC and I'm pretty sure I don't really use the fraction of its power.

At least that means you'll be able to use it for a long time. Also, it won't ever overheat so it's not very likely to break down.

yeah, that was the main goal, a PC for another at least 10 years, I don't do too much gaming on PC anyway, so that's not a push to upgrade more recently than this.

My Dell Inspiron 7520 served really well, but had to upgrade sooner or later.

I know the feeling. I payed for a new computer with specs higher than needed for any new release game at full settings, and yet the main game I have played on it so far was built for Windows 3 and is best played in a web browser.

Same, my main game is Half-Life (Sven Co-op) and Half-Life 2 (Synergy) ๐Ÿ˜
