I've thought to myself that its finally time to get a new rig, but after spending over 2500€ and assembling everything together, the dopamine phase is over and now i feel strangely bad for spending so much money on something that i could've invested in maybe a house or car or something similar instead... gaming is my passion since ive been able to think and my 12 year old self would be crying tears of joy if he had this PC, but now im 22 and i feel guilty af.

Just wanted to get some advice from people, who are maybe older than me or had this feeling before, on how to feel myself better about it. Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks for all of your honest replies <3 i did not expect so many. I will try my best to read every single one of those so please dont be mad if i dont comment on your answers, but i assure you to read it some time
