          What the hell, Boots used to sell PCs? Or is that a fricky coincidence that there’s a PC store somewhere with the same name and logo as a popular pharmacy?

      Because the equivalent graphics card is about $450, and you still need to buy a CPU, storage, RAM, PSU, and case. And it’s only the up-front cost that’s cheaper.
