Depending on what type of computer your going for, you can easily spend a shitload on a processor, or the video card. These days RAM is actually pretty cheap compared to the other components the computer. But I must agree with everyone else, monitor is most likely to be the most expensive.

Well, I want some too. Greedy Yoni should stop hogging it.

I spent $999 on my computer, and $450 on my video card last summer.

Video first, certainly. Probably CPU second, then mobo.

It's supposed to be in a computer. I see those as on a computer. It's just a matter of semantics.

iago, the sad part about all this...
Your cheap computer you made is probably faster than the current computer I'm on will ever be. :/


Video cards seem to be the most expensive.
