    Dudenstein got a reaction from brob in Haven't kept up with PC components and planning on a new build (finally)   
    Updated my plan for the build. Planning on building this in the next 2 weeks ish
    I'm no longer waiting for the 40 series from Nvidia as honestly I just don't want to wait (I got a 15% raise at work) and I'm expecting the 40 series to sell out quickly upon release and I don't want to deal with waiting around for a preorder or drops. I'll just build now and if i choose to upgrade to 40 series or even later on in the 50 series then so be it. 
    Bumped up to an i9 12900k.
    Dropped down to a 3080ti instead of 3090 because the extra vram would be nice but I honestly don't think I'll be utilizing that much vram in my usage. That freed up more money for additional storage. 
    One M.2 drive for my OS and games/general programs. 
    Second M.2 for Unreal Engine development and active video editing projects.
    HDD for general storage for plugins and video files not currently used for projects.
    Added 2 bottom intake fans to help the gpu breathe and help push hotter air upwards toward the exhaust. Might add more exhaust fans in the future if I see any issues with temps
    Upgraded to a 1200w PSU to help with future upgrades and transient power spikes that GN made a video about
     
    I decided to stick with the Asus Prime just because it's cheaper. The black preference isn't enough for me to spend more money on just getting a blacker mobo lol

    I would still probably wait for the reviews like I usually do, but considering how good they have been doing so far with other components, I would welcome them with open arms.

    It's been getting worse for a long time now. Not only is it annoying but to me it has gotten detrimental to the community here. I'm seeing myself on less and less here because of the PC elitists and the general sheep that follow whatever Linus and company likes. Fresh opinions and good debates have disappeared from the community and have been replaced by rampant trolling and immaturity.

    Dudenstein got a reaction from CielErrant in I'm a PC Gamer. Although Consoles are Still Cool   
    I actually prefer playing most of my games on console. The last thing I want to do after working a double shift is to sit at a desk and play a game or even having to troubleshoot problems so I can play a game. I would rather just turn on my console and start playing in bed. I do have a gaming pc that I play things that I want the benefits of a pc (modding primarily) but honestly I don't care about resolution. I don't care about keyboards/mouse vs gamepad. I just want to play a game. Id the game fun? Yes? Cool I'll play it.

    I would love to have an autonomous vehicle. After a night out drinking these would and could literally be a lifesaver. Let me drink and not drive. Let me not be dependent on a designated driver. Let me get a a little bit of extra sleep on the way to work because I'm having another 36 hour work day between jobs. To me this would be definitely worth the money. When it comes to autonomous I would be willing to wake up a little earlier to go to work because it is overly cautious if I can get a little extra sleep on the way to work. Take my money now

    Going fast has a direct correlation among those things you mentioned. The faster your speed the less time you have to to conditions up ahead and also increases the distance in which your vehicle will take to slow down/stop in case of emergency. There are cases when a lack of a speed limit creates a safer drive mile per mile such as the autobahn but the accidents on those are of a, hopw should i say it, an explosive experience.

    For storage you're better off going hdd got capacity. It's much more cost effective and if anything gets corrupted or lost you have a chance of potentially restoring data.
