Your just lucky the ti was released recently!!
You could easily build a 780ti (fasted card on the planet) based system within £1200, with a 4770k. Sorry but that's high end.

Pretty close, there's cheaper places than here to drop it a bit lower.
You don't seem able to separate "high end" from available performance.
It's not much of a surprise of course, as it seems most people look at it the same way, but don't you think it's silly to call something "high end" when there's something that is much faster? If a 4770K is high end, then what is a 4930K?
They can't be both high end, because there's more of a performance gap between a 4770K and a 4930K than there is between a 4670K and a 4770K, and yet people say 4670Ks are mid range.

Because there is something faster does not make the 4770k any lower end. They would both come within that category. I would not class the 4670k as mid range either.
Using the same logic, wouldn't a 4670K be high end too, even though it's only an i5?

Not was missed
There's varying degrees of high end, most people see it that way because it is. A Ferrari f12 is a high end car, a Bugatti Veyron is just higher end

£1200 is not midrange, there's high end then there's extreme systems.

Good analogy

I wouldn't even bother using "ends" to categorise such obscenely priced cars anyway, they aren't within the realm of reality for most.
However, with Craterloads' suggestions, he doesn't seem able to choose which matters when it comes to classifying them, whether it's performance or price.

Clearly it's a combination of both, the comparison given was perfect and could be compared to a gtx 780 (Ferrari) and gtx titan (veyron)

Having buyers remorse is perfectly common, nothing wrong with it. Not enjoying something you were hoping for more entertainment or value from is not retarded, unlike your statement.
You seem to applying your own ludicrous standards of £2000 for a "decent pc" for the rest of us. It's like simon cowell stating you would need to spend £500 for some decent loo role...
You've been provided with numerous examples yet continua to stick your fingers in your ears.
If you had bought a Mars bar then yes.
Ok, seems what's considered decent is subjective, which is what i stated originally.

People normally don't feel buyers remorse over 50p chocolates, just ignore and throw them in the bin. At least we have learnt something about you. Usually something that costs a decent chunk of change.
No the term decent among the masses, 99.9% of people, would not be used to describe a PC costing 2K.
LOL I knew it wouldn't be long for this type of thread to spring up, thought it would be a week or two after the release not just a few days though, well i'm loving my Xbox One its everything I thought it would be, I find it funny people saying its launch line up isn't great when the PS4's is a lot worse and you don't get the functionality of the Xbox One so you'll be even more bored of that after a few days than the Xbox One as its basically just an upgraded PS4
This comment below is spot on, best comment in here by far.

Would a £2000 gaming PC bring 3 times the enjoying of a £660 PC?
What is this high end PC modern gaming experience that I read about that I didn't get 10 years ago which needs £2,000 to fulfil ?
Surely you would do research on any purchase of value? Also if you really need to purchase it now or later or even at all? OK in some cases features dont work as planned (if at all), but they will in the future. If you dont want/like it at this point you would be better off selling it to someone who does, before it loses its value.

I'm not even sure why people rush out to buy consoles at launch when the launch line up is almost always lacklustre, I think it's more of a case of shiny new hardware than actually truly wanting the machine. I've seen people on here state they aren't interested in any launch games etc. and yet they still buy the console at launch.
You're almost always better off waiting a year after launch where there will be a good line up and more often than not the price has dropped or there are better bundles.
