It starts from $1 - $1000.

And I usually upgrade about $800 at Christmas and $800 on my birthday (March).

Sorry. I left this thread because I see people spending as much money on upgrading 1 rig as I make in 6 months and it irritates me. And when I returned(Lord knows why) I still see the same thing. I hate my job.

You're working on the assumption that everyone is answering accurately.

Also it doesn't matter that other people have better rigs, I recognise my rig is above average, but I also recognise that there are probably hundreds of rigs on here better than mine, you don't need to try and get the best rig, just the one that is best for you.
