The expense of the graphics cards at the moment is crazy. I paid about 450 for my i7-2600 about 6 or 7 years ago and put a GTX 750ti in a couple of years back for another 100. So my pc is quite old but looking at the benchmarks for current processors it seems they have not moved on much? Similarly the laptop GPUs are quite weak in comparison to the 750ti until you get up to the 1050.
