I built my pc about 9 years ago, sold the GPU and upgraded 4 years ago. I can play most current games at medium graphic settings with the biggest limitation currently being my power supply of all things.

It helps that indy games are less resource intensive and that and retro gaming is where I find my fun atm but on a build that probably cost around $1800-$2000 when you factor in the updated graphics card (and fan replacement) I'd say that is a really friggen good value for a hobby.

It also helped that I built my pc while I was living in China where a number of components were cheaper.
