I don't buy it either. My PC + an upgrade 3 years later (with a Ryzen 5800X and a used RTX 3090!) cost me about €2,000. If you want to push it, you add the TV (€1,000) because it serves as a monitor and the whole home cinema setup because the computer is hooked to it (probably about €1,000 as well).

That's 4k and I'm stretching it. Buy a good monitor for €300, monitoring speakers or headphones for €250 and you're already set for a high end experience.

As for games... C'mon, y'all know we sail the high seas.

I can see how it would get to 5K including games over a long enough period of time but realistically most hobbies accrue cost over time.
