Yeah... that's not what being poor is.
I mean if you want to be pandantic owning a computer for gaming excludes you from being poor. Otherwise, if we're doing cost relative to performance, you can pick up an alienware alpha for cost of the graphics card.
Depends on what you mean by "computer for gaming". You pretty much need a computer at home for school work, printing and sending documents, maybe even some work from home. A lot of this can be done with a phone or tablet nowadays, but that wasn't the case 5 years ago, which is why lots of people have an old-ish computer. And yes, this computer can be used to play games, not all the newer ones, but still plenty of games.
If you have a dedicated, modern and expensive computer only for games (and note that this includes consoles), yeah that definitely does exclude you from being poor.
