If I had $100,000 that I could ONLY spend on a new rig, I would actually spend every penny of that and it would not go to waste. It's really a matter of how much money we're talking about, I could build a machine with 4TBs of pure SSD storage which would be insanely fast and would cost $3000 just in itself. Don't even get me started on the $1050 AMD 16-core server processors, you could buy four of those for one PC so you'd have 64 cores and so that would cost $4200.

So yeah... Things CAN get pretty expensive. I'm going to keep it easy though and stay in the consumer segment for my build though. ;)
