I only spend like $500 on a PC and it lasts me for years.
And I still achieve more than 90% of Jow Forums
Are good PCs a meme?

The expensive stuff is targeted for RGB-obsessed autists who fell for the "gaming" meme.

I just pick used parts now
$160cdn for a 1060
Pulled a free 17-4790
8gb ram pulled for free
With the extra cash from that I bought a corsair case, and AIO cooler

$500 PC are often okay. Doesn't mean you can't do nice shit with $1k PC, games or just expeditiously render 3D or run something like CI while you develop that compiles the software on 3 different OSs and 2 Linux distros and gives you results when it doesn't pass tests or whatever else.

Literally nobody needs to do this

Nobody needs to ... render 3D fast? Test software?
You can get away without the latter but it's not a good idea for how productive you are, you want to catch test case failures early and asynchronously (so developers continue working on code rather than stare at compiler and test windows).
It also is something you alone want to set up to an extent for yourself. Doesn't take much, helps a lot.

Same here when I had an i3 build back in 2011. Now that I'm not a poorfag and did a bunch of overtime I'm gonna blow 2k on a good setup with multiple monitors.

And what are you "achieving" exactly?
Most of Jow Forums needs expensive video cards to play new AAA games on high settings with high framerates. If you just use your PC to browse the web, then yeah, you don't need to spend very much.
