@_prateekbh @GoogleStadia Yeah! I’m fascinated by this. And keen to try it. Suspect it will be less well suited to RTS / city building type games that a PC with keyboard and mouse seems to excel at. It might replace my console some time though.
@simonw Wow. That looks epic. I'll probably be starting with something a little more entry level though. First toe in the PC game waters for a long long time. Feeling like something sound and with good upgrade options is the way for me to get started.
@simonw Thanks. I’m only just learning that name. I’ll be exploring.
@sparkycollier @stevecomrie Wow. Yeah that 64gb of ram jumped out at me! This thread is introducing me to all new brand names and acronyms. Lots of googling for me :)
@monkchips @slsoftworks Very much obliged!
@BeastBuilds @kylejamesfrazer Thanks!
@kylejamesfrazer For sure. By the time the new thing arrives you start seeing ads for why you neeeeed new thing ++.
But you are happy with the performance for what you do?

@BeastBuilds @kylejamesfrazer Thanks.
(and oooh, snazzy!)
But I'm based in the UK, so this might not be the most economical.

@kylejamesfrazer Nice. Pleased with its performance? £50 for a graphics card sounds like a steal! Tempted to do any more upgrades or happy?
@kylejamesfrazer HD would be fine. 4k would be a bonus. I have a 4k monitor.
Looking for a good way to play RTS / city building games like the Anno series.
I haven't had a gaming PC for decades and always remember chasing specs for modern games.

@Adysandu I'd like to keep in under £800 if I can. I have a 27" 4K UHD display already which I use for work with my MBP.
This is just for games. Perhaps also a media server at a push. 4k would be nice, but HD would be good too. Mostly strategy and city building type games.

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign @NZXT Well, we seem to be working on making it hard to viably trade with anyone.
I’d be mortified about how backward we are being if I hadn’t been stockpiling batteries and insulin in our underground bunker.

@davatron5000 @sambreed @andybelldesign @NZXT That sounds smart.
I bet it was a horrible feeling frying your CPU!! 😢

@stevecomrie @sarah_edo @Netlify And a ❤️ on twitter is the same as a formal, legally binding approval. Correct @sarah_edo and @biilmann?
(and thanks ever so!)

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign @NZXT Very tempted here.. but US and CA only as it turns out. But still a great reference.
@robcresswell @sil Right?! But it is absolutely a thing.
