Currently set up a little fund to start a new computer build. 


For now I don't have much locked in. I'm debating between the 4070 and 7800 XT. Honestly not sure at all in terms of processor that I want.... I need to remind myself that I'm probably not going to be playing the most intensse games ever on it. I really want it so the games I do play play extremely much more smoothly than my rapidly obsolescing PC I built at the beginning of this thread. But I don't need top of the line bleeding edge for everything.

I haven't settled on a monitor yet, but I'm eyeing the new Alienware ones. They look mighty nice, or maybe Dell will be nice and make a Dell-branded variant that's slightly cheaper.

I think I'm going to aim for the Fractal North for case. My current case is ooookkkkaaaay. It definitely lacks modern cooling considerations and honestly I don't need a bunch of HDD and drive bays taking up the front third of the space.

I don't think I'll do much in terms of gaudy RGB lighting. At least not inside the case, it seems mostly pointless.


Games I'll probably be playing the most:
American Truck Simulator
Euro Truck Sim
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
GTAV
RDR2
I'm intrigued by Starfield and def don't want to buy an Xbone just to play it
Cities Skylines 2

I will try my best!

yeah sites kinda fucked

i had trouble logging in too when i came back the other day, i ended up having to manually change the login xhr request to use an https endpoint instead of the current one on the login form. it logged me in but it didn't redirect automatically so still had to refresh the page which was a bit confusing.

idk if there is still anyone around to fix this but just saying in case someone is here and wants to

T-t-t-thanks

i got a new cpu Ryzen 7 5800X3D a few months ago but other than that haven't upgraded my pc since radeon rx vega came out maybe like 5(?) years ago which i bought on release, don't regret the purchase but i think i severely overpaid for it as there were stock shortages when it first came out

other than that i built a pc for my wife last week so we can play games together which is near enough identical to strongbad pc with the 3600 and 5700-xt, B550 motherboard, 1 tb storage and two monitors. rather than building from scratch i kinda just repurposed my old pc that had a R9 390 and AMD FX cpu and made some upgrades so I didn't have to buy the case, power supply, etc. spent about 550 pounds overall (about $700), mostly used parts.

honestly our specs are plenty enough for just about anything these days, no need to spend a mountain of cash on the latest gen i feel like it's only really for enthusiast people who care about 4k gaming. have been a bit tempted by OLED monitors tho to be fair, they look pretty damn nice and i'm getting a bit fed up of always having monitors with washed out colours but they cost more than the price of my whole setup
