Bought PC, started upgrading, and...

[JonRGV250]

As many did, I preordered a PS5 for launch, and was let down when it didn’t arrive when it should have.

So, as I wanted to play Cyberpunk as best I could, I bought a gaming PC from Amazon in a drunken moment of madness…







I also was interested in VR and particularly HLA, so I bought a Quest 2 and upgraded to a RTX3060ti, and then immediately after that the PS5 arrived, but by then I’d decided to keep the PC, and the console was sold.
I will add that I sold it for a ridiculous amount, but when the guy turned up to collect it, and it was obviously a Christmas present for his son, I refunded him the difference between what it actually cost me and what it sold for.







I then started upgrading (mainly after too many beers) various components and ended up with this monstrosity..







But the performance wasn’t really what I was after, so I started from scratch, and I built my first PC..







I am super happy with it, but do want to upgrade the i7 9700 to a Ryzen 7/9 of some derivative to hopefully speed things up a bit.

I’m fairly confused as there’s a bunch of stuffs to choose from, so I’ll ask in the appropriate thread.



Thanks

Thanks, and yes, i'm just finding out how fun that is

It'll become an obsession

Become?, it's way beyond that.

Fair play for refunding the guy the difference, most now see them as a chance to take advantage

Thanks, but i'd rather earn my money in a way that lets me sleep at night.
I detest scalpers in all forms.

So you built a new PC, what happened to the old one? (Eye emojis)

I sold it for pretty much the same as it cost to build.

what light strips are those???
