Am I the only thinking, that passing the 1000€ limit for only two components (cpu+mobo) is a quite unneeded and touching 1500€ wall is an illogical self destruction?

It's perfectly normal for professional users. You can easily sink thousands in IT equipment, as a business cost. Now for hobbyist, it's only a matter of wanting to have the best and being able to afford it. I myself am trying to resist the temptation of upgrading to the latest Ryzen 9, with ROG Crosshair Hero motherboard... I want it but I don't need it 😀

Yes ! I had resisted the urge to upgrade for many years. Then in october caved and I said I will build a pc by end of year ( one component a month ) ... then I caved even more end bought all in 1 month and a half.
