“I wish my father was frugal, his spending stresses me out.”
What Actually Happened
I want to buy a pc since my old one broke down.
My father wants to buy me a new prebuilt PC meanwhile I have been saving for a new PC for 3 years and I want to buy it with my own money, each part online and assemble it.
He wants to buy a 1518$ machine which I don’t need. I keep telling him that I don’t need it, I opened 1080p gaming comparation and there is maximum 20 fps difference between the GPU I want (Arc B580) and prebuilt PC GPU (9060 XT)
Mine costs about 961$.
Prebuilt specs: 16 GB D
