I’ve seen shit like gaming chairs, headsets, and even gaming PCs turning out to be absolute horseshit compared to even shit used in offices.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on this. My theory is that the focus on gaming was so extreme the others that actually IMPROVE gaming like less bottlenecks get fucked over.

    I’m going to go for 32GB x 8 for the final PC build in the future (assuming I save enough money in this capitalist hellhole). Obviously overkill but fuck it because 1) the fake answer is I’m going to dabble in not just ultra-high-end gaming but 3D animation high-end editing and automated economic planning; plus 2) the real answer is I would take increased RAM capacity any day over RGB on RAM sticks because RGB fans and keyboard are enough RGB imo.

      What system are you planning to build? Not many current systems have more than 4 slots of RAM, unless they are servers or Threadripper. And yeah that is extreme overkill gaming never takes more than like 32 GB, and even animation editing etc. will not need that much unless you are doing some really heavy stuff. Same with planning. I would really consider going for 32 GB or 64 GB and using that extra money for better CPU/GPU.

        A “budget extreme” one. I’d go for 64 or higher and ditch the RGB on RAM since Minecraft with RTX is really fucking heavy.

      Check how much RAM your OS can use. Windows 11 Home (admittedly I don’t think anyone has that barebones version) can only use 128 gigs. Windows 11 Pro can use up to 2 TB.

      Moreover DDR5 released in late 2021 and in the coming years should become more available and widespread.

            I wonder if installing Windows 7 cracked with the DAZ loader. Upgrading that copy to 10 then 11 still works as a way to get a legit copy of Windows 11 Pro that can be linked to your MS account. That’s how I did it.

              Yeah, there was a way of getting 10 due to ADA past the period where they offered the switch for free. Haven’t paid for Windows in years lol

            I’m going with 1/16TB mostly out of personal preference.

            Honestly with all the negative stuff im hearing about 11 I’m more compelled to remain on w10 until my mathusalem pc breaks and then just jump ship to Linux mint
