I think the only controversial one here is "Flagship graphics cards".

I agree that they wouldn't be worth it for a lot of people, but their performance per dollar has actually been pretty competitive with the lower tier GPUs. The other things on their list don't give you nearly as much improvement for your money.

And if you include AIO-cooled models in the discussion, there's no telling how much money you'll end up wasting on a graphics card, which is just one component of your PC.

This part makes sense though, the 3rd party AIO models can get crazy.
