$4k is a little or a lot depending on your circumstance. Assume three individuals that make the same income.
- One of them supports a family of 3 on one income.
- One of them is single and supports only themselves.
- One of them is married with dual-income and no kids.
There are also those who can afford it but don't see the value add. There better be some serious value add for me to spend $4k IMO. Others are a bit loose with their money which is their prerogative.
I really only upgrade if my current PC cannot do a thing that I need it to do.

This has nothing to do with wealth.
