I’m looking at buying a new gaming computer in about five weeks, that’s when I’ll get my monetary award for having “outstanding” performance at work. I don’t intend to put all of that toward a new Windows box but I do have some other money that’s available. My current box is a slightly upgraded [five-year-old HP OMEN](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pc-gaming-general-discussion-gaming-pcs-game-sales-news-etc/952885/572) and ny upper limit is about $1500.
