Like you I am really impressed about how far computers have come as well as the pricing being so much lower. I spent a lot for my first personal build which was in 2003 I believe. Its crazy cause I loaded so much cool stuff into it people asked me to build machines for them. It was a platinum colored casing, clear side window on one side with neon nights for the front mounted cooling fan even though it had fans on the inside. I thought it was so cool. I'd trade that thing for a good bowl of Ramen today...lol. Overwatch is definitely a cool game. I can remember being in awe of a internet cafe/counter strike place of assembly in Brunei. It was nuts just to watch how crazy they went at one another. I played the game before and a lot but never at that level.

You're right, I think it was also around that time I build that cube computer, it had costed me around €2500 to build it and later upgraded the GPU even...it was a monster back then.
A few months ago the whole thing went to the scrap pile (PSU and motherboard fried) and the case was sold for metal :) only thing that survived are those Enermax fans with variostat haha.

Oh yes I heard in Asia Overwatch is quite popular in internet cafés, also Asia has a lot of good players. It is super fun to play, really fast and intense. Some games make you really go "whoaw did that just happen ?!"
Anyway I'll try to get higher in rank with the new setup now :)
