A second m.2 for trying out the switch to Linux. It went well, primary boot now.
Edit: I went with Nobara.
I just installed another m.2 for the same reason. I’m hung up on what distribution use though and haven’t made it any further.
Opensuse. There. I’ve picked for you.
No more excuses now. Go boot and install your favorite game.
Same
That was a long time ago tho
What distro you go?
New SSD for games and VMs.
Bought a mouse with silent clicks, so I don’t disturb my partner with my raging click barrages.
Nice idea, which model is it?
Kudos to my partner for bugging me about my annoying clickety-click.
It’s a simple Logitech M650, nothing special or fancy, but I don’t play competitively on a level where that kind of stuff matters.
I had to buy a louder keyboard because my girlfriend enjoyed the clicking
Thanks

Last week from a Ryzen 3700x to a 7800x3d, so new mobo, cooler and ram as well. The 3700x was a bottleneck in some games for my GPU. Performs well now.
My niece will upgrade from an old 7 series Intel to my old 3700x, x570 chipset mobo, Deepcool double fan CPU cooler and 32 GB ram. I will give her my old GTX1080 as well. Whole system perfectly fine for WOW classic.
I just bought a steam deck.
A 4070 to replace my 2080S. The improvement was fairly noticeable.

This probably shouldn’t count, but I diagnosed and removed a bad stick of RAM. It works much better now. Since I was running on 32Gb, I haven’t really noticed the drop to 16. I’d been blaming system instability on not knowing how to properly maintain Linux and shit drivers. Turns out
Prior to that was when I bought a 2TB SSD.
Added a 2.5gbps max network card. Still not getting the 2gbps i paid for, unsure why…
Wooting 80he keeb
Before that:
4080 on runout.
Year before that I did mobo+7800x3d, 64gb ddr5, 4tb nvme for games.
Oh and C4 OLED + dual 27" 1920*1200 portrait wings.
I think I’m not touching it for a long time the way things are going
I finally bought a 7900xtx after my gtx 1080 died.
- I saved several paystubs from shitty fast food jobs to buy the 1080 too
I saved up for 8+? years to try and buy a flagship as I really didn’t want to buy a low tier gpu every year.
As the SI/tech person that’s built PCs for my friends and referrals for several years I’ve seen firsthand just how awful the gpu landscape is especially if you choose to buy whatever’s the cheapest tier card.
I typically recommend saving up to buy a good gpu first as it’s the most expensive and excruciatingly painful part to buy last.
a magewell capture card, I still need to figure out how to use it
Moved a 2tb SSD that was my steam library for my old rig into my new Linux PC and installed windows on it, specifically to play Minecraft and Roblox with my kiddo.
