      I'm lucky, my wife doesn't desire (at least not to me - even when prodded) high end jewelery. The nicer stuff she has is just because I wanted to get it for her..

        I spent two weeks pay on my fiance's. That was more then I wanted to spend... but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse.

        Well when you make six figures like Scott - two weeks is a huge rock!

          My wife doesn't like jewelry and actively dislikes Kays, Zales, Jared's, etc.

            Famous rule was to spend one month's gross salary on a ring. We were taught that when I was a kid.

            What's odd was I recall being taught to spend 4 months..

            I've heard 3-6 months. I've even heard 1 year!

              Kays and Zales both sell crap. I haven't decided what to do yet for the ring yet. The place I had always planned to go isn't an option, as it's in NY. I like the idea of working with someone local. 1 month's gross pay would be quite a pricy ring and would be way more than my soon-to-be fiance would want me to spend. I'll probably end up spending about 1-pay-period's amount on it. Even that she would be upset about...

                Coming from a woman. It's not about the $$ and if it is run the opposite direction now. My first engagement ring came from Ames and cost my fiancé what was equal to about 3 weeks of his salary. Of course he was 16 and worked at McDonalds. Even though many years later he replaced it with a much nicer ring I still wear the original. It's about the thought and love behind it. Not the freaking $$!!!

                I am pretty sure who ever made the rule about how much to spend was a jeweler.

                  We used a custom designer in Rochester that we really liked.

                    I used a custom designer in Manhattan. Very enjoyable experience.

                      That is a NICE build! Identical to mine but AMD8320/Samsung840Pro/Asus970gtx

                      Gaming in 1080P goes like this: All graphics settings to maximum, Frame Sync@60, game all day at 60FPS

                      Gaming in 4K I can get decent midrange graphics but 30Hz really pisses me off. Far far more than I thought it would.
