Just your average bloke, in his 50's, who's enjoying getting back into Gaming, Games, PC's, Self-builds, Gadgets and Tech. Having some fun along the way
I have just bought a new Gaming PC. So could all manufacturers please stop selling any new parts for 18-24mths. Just so I can feel I might have the most up to date system I can afford. Thank you.
Wait. What do you mean there are new products out already?
Ah F**k ππ«£ππ π‘π€¬
Bright idea - Fail π‘
I know, I'll run dual monitors for gaming/editing, then the 65" or 120" for SIM Racing, and link this all up via the new KVM switch.
Oh, wait, it doesn't come with cables; I need 12 good cables. How much are good cables?
HOW MUCH ?? ππ«£π³π±
Doh!! π π‘π€¬
Anyone giving away a good RTX 4090 Super/Ti GPU??
Buying a new Gaming PC is a right pain in the derriere. Prebuilts all have rubbish MB's and the cost is always high because of the extortionate cost of the GPU. You end up with 75% of the PC you want, at 125% of the cost.

Cables Question:
Is it worthwhile investing in fancy cables; 16k DP. Or are the speed/quality/stability gains even noticeable?
I think it is. But others are saying it's all just marketing hype.
* Dual Curved MSi Optix MAG 32" 144hz + 65" UHD Mini LED TV 144hz all via KVM switch
Well so much for being good all year for Santa.
I know what I'm *NOT* getting for Christmas ... My 32" MSi Optix Mag Curved Monitor ππ«£ππͺπ₯π’π
Why?? Because Parcel Force can't find Scotland on the Feckin map!!
Grr !! π π‘π€¬
New Gaming PC Advice Wanted:
I'm looking at getting a new PC in the sales. Mainly for gaming, but also for photo/video editing and content creation. Min i7, RTX 4070 S/Ti, 16/32Gb and solid MB. All on a limited budget of around Β£1600. Prebuilt or Self build is fine.
Any ideas π€
@pcgamer Try making them easier to play. You used to be able to put on a game and play it. Now, you need to do a degree to learn all the buttons, options, charts, maps, etc. By the time you've done all that, the excitement and fun had gone. Budgets mean nothing it the game is poor quality
