I'm guessing now would be a good time for me to sell my old PC from 2020?

3900X, 2080 Super, 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB Samsung 970 M.2 storage. What would y'all pay for this right now? 😅

    I have a similar system I just retired(r7 3800x, 32gb, .5tb m.2+2tb m.2+4tb ssd, 4070ti super with a spare 2070 super), still works very well. Going to clean and put it back in its box til my new one becomes unusable, don't think I'll be buying another pc and I will NEVER use cloud gaming, no one should reward these ghouls for fucking us over especially Nvidia. Once all my old pcs stop working, if I am not dead yet, I will do like my childhood and read physical books and spend time out doors

    Oh shit, aight. That would return me about 80% of what I paid for it, and net me about $8/month if you treat it as a subscription over how long I've had it.

    What kind of math are you smoking.

    No, about $2,500. How did you get to 2 million dollars?

    Am I the one who can't math? Stop making me second-guess myself! Unless I'm wrong, then do. But am I?! Ahh!

    I assumed they meant $2000. Or were they trolling?
