So are masternodes based on GPU power or just having them up. Trying to figure out if it is worth it to run it on my main pc and keep my pc running all the time.

Just having them up. It's kind of like the middle man you help the network and you get paid for it. So technically at this price you'd only get around $13 a month running one. However for every new decimal place the master nodes payout will do so too if it was $1.15 each it'd be 130. $13.15 ea it would be 1300. and so on and so forth.
So should I buy a raspberry pi and do it on that? My pc is a beast and draws a lot of power if I left it on 24/7.

Yeah it should be sufficient enough to do that. Just make sure you use Ubuntu because all other Linux distros are a pain to get up and running. Also if you plan to use wifi to run it make sure you have a good USB Wifi adapter they work like a charm.

Or... you can run it on an AWS EC2 server. Free for the first 12 months, then about $2 to $4 per month. Also Vultr offers servers at about $3 per month. Pretty easy to set up and then you don't have to worry about buying anything.
Got any guides on how to get it going with that? I am pretty new to the whole masternode thing and it seems to keep getting more and more complicated.
