The term is nerd boner. I just wish someone would do a build that isn't $1000 budget for once, including myself...

You are saying 1k budgets are too high or low?
With water cooling and hardware.. I'm not sure what my main rig costs.. I just know it is well north of 1k.

Its just such a good, round number. I speced a build for a friend recently that wanted to spend $1000. After a while he finally realized you may as well do $1300 because of what you get. We looked at EVERY piece of hardware he bought and every single time we said "well for $20 more..." and every single time it was worth it. Our "final budget" was bumping $1600 but we ended up spending closer to $1150. Mobo, CPU, ssd, and cpu cooler were a hair over $300 under budget due to us catching a great deal at microcenter
