I'm pretty sure you could get a full brand new desktop that is more powerful for much less than $1600...

Probably, but I wouldn't settle for something that's just more powerful, Id want to spend the money to get higher-end current-gen hardware that will last me another 15 years, including upgrading to a good M.2 drive and better GPU. In AUD Id probably be spending at least $2k.

In fact I still have the birth certificate for my current PC, and I spent $1500 on it in 2012 dollars.
