yeah, you're right there. in actuality i still can't pull the trigger, it's a perfectly fine machine and nearly 5 years old if i remember right.

it could do with a pcie sdd and maybe a gpu upgrade but it's still perfectly serviceable. the only thing that has failed is the motherboard (was able to replace that for 110 AUD) and the CPU fan (i bought the wrong one and burned the bearings out because it was for lower TDP cpus).
