Help with building a Gaming PC?

7 years ago

Add another 8GB of RAM to your system. 16GB is perfect. Other than that, maybe upgrade the video card in the future but for now, you should be good with medium to high settings

Thanks

We don't do games. I even removed the chess game that came with the OS. I'll play games when I'm dead. That said, if your computer is nothing more than a toy, you might as well play games on it.

FYI - I can do this endlessly. It comes with the superiority complex. :-)

Or is it just that the Mac can't quite hack the high end graphical, animation and sound capabilities that the PC has, which also applies to other things.

Yeah - that's it. When it doesn't freeze.

Haven't you heard, Frank? WF is every industry's support forum.

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

  Shoot me now. I recently asked, jokingly, how many of these people were able to get dressed in the morning without assistance? I'm formally deleting the 'joking' part of the question.

Notice the Christmas tree with no lights or decorations. Yes, that's right, it's early June.

I believe it's August in that shot. If it were June, the lights and decoration would still be on the tree.

Our tree sits directly in the middle of a large bay window overlooking our front yard.

My wife said she'd take the tree down this year. It separates into three sections. She took the top section off over a week ago, but has left the remaining two sections up. Just sitting there for all the neighbors to see.

I'm going to see how long this goes.

(If it were me who'd left a partial tree in the window, I'd be getting shit all day, every day until I took it down.)
