How do you justify your high end graphics cards?

I wait to see what is being said about the graphics card I want and if people claim it is too expensive and I am being robbed etc, I buy it

But seriously, I want the same as what Ayahuasca said earlier, and that is everything looking sweet and running smooth at 1440P without too much compromise.

It's my money therefore I don't need to justify anything I buy. If you're needing to justify spending the required money then maybe you have more pressing concerns than a video card.

You just justified it by saying its your money. Thats justification right there

To anyone else!

Top end cards last longer so in my eyes save me money in the long run and allow me to put the settings on max.

Uhm... I don't smoke or drink. I work hard and besides the missus and kids, my computer is really all I spend cash on. its been 2yrs since I built this sytem, my i7 4770K will last another few years. Ive no problem upgrading my gfx cards, why shouldn't I - after all I earn it

I enjoy gaming, earn quite well, always have some saved, so buy whatever I want - that simple really.

As hobbies go, there are many far more expensive ones than gaming is. And if you game, why don't do it properly?

Like these guys said.

I have no justification.

I cry myself to sleep.

everytime I upgrade, my budget increases

I just have a small mental breakdown after a buy when I look at my bank balance, then pretend it wasn't real.

Even with no one else in the picture, you have an internal justification system which prevents you blowing all your money on cocaine and hookers

As with any sizeable purchase, you weigh up the cost vs the benefit, don't you?

Otherwise I've got a bucket of sand I'll let you have for £50,000

Foxeye, about these magic beans you sold me...

Hey speak for yourself, some of us like to live life in the fast lane.

I enjoy playing games and i love to see new tech arising.

jkb · 5 Jun 2015 at 21:31

I don't need justify them I just buy them.

new boy · 5 Jun 2015 at 21:32

I think the problem is being "in the fold" and waiting and waiting for this new tech you have been reading rumers about for the last 6 months that FINALLY arrives, and you just have to have it

I can't justify it..because I'm a cheapskate, who likes saving more money for nothing. Even though I want and can easily afford a high-end quad SLI TX build with my earnings, the most I'll get is something like a single 980 Ti.

Wanna swap? I can easily justify things that I cant really afford.
