    So... 15K is the ceiling.

    But ~5K is the goal.
    And if there were a significant advantage by going 5.5 or 6K, you'd consider it.



    I spent 4K on a gaming system, a few years back.
    The same system, was upgraded for about 1-1.5K twice.

    Each of those upgrades were significant, in terms of performance.
    And ultimately, I was as happy with the performance of a system that would have been under 2K (from scratch), as I was with the 4K system.

    Although it was nice to have top of the line, or close enough to it.

    You pegged it right there. 15k ceiling 5k goal, with plenty of room for worthwhile upgrades.

    I'm gonna spend the rest on a kickass custom car stereo, and a nice 60" tv.
