The best way is to get a 1st line support role and on the side study something IT related like a sys admin course or something, when a job in the area you studied comes up you have your experience plus qualifications.
 
I work in IT and I see this method a lot.

it's a thermal pad, used to keep your components such gpu,cpu,ssd etc. cool.
it's not the ram actually, it's your nvme ssd.

In at front or bottom, out at top and/or back.
 
air won’t go exactly where you want it so only give it one way to go.
 
Also consider pushing more air in than you pull out. Pulling out is to encourage the direction but you don’t want to pull in through unfiltered places if you have filters.

Don’t spend it, save it!
 
keep adding to it and when you really need a new PC you can afford one!

My Corsair voids lasted over 4 years, now wired only for about the last year of that. So maybe around 4 years battery life.

My iPhone 7 is down to 60% and lasts about a day with light usage. Had it since early 2017 so its almost 4 years old. 
 
Across all my devices it looks like 4 years is a decent life, beyond that it starts to affect its usage.
 
 

Coil whine is not immediately an indicative of something wrong.

In many ways PC gaming has never been more affordable, even the lower middle bracket of hardware is capable of 1080p 60FPS at reasonable settings.
 
in addition we now have 10 years or so of decent looking games now, which we didn’t have in 2010. Skyrim can be played on a toaster these days... You don’t need to play 2020+ AAA titles to be a gamer, most of my games are from the 2012-16 period.
 
It is only the top end, enthusiast sector that is expensive but then again it always has been. These make up a small percentage of PC gamers and even then some are not even gamers, they just like the hardware.

Steam says most are still on a 1060, for me it is that and the RX 580 that are the bread and butter skews.
 
I don’t think a majority of gamers need or want RTX so the 1080, 1070 and 1060 still remain popular.

This, AMD needs 2 sticks of 3200, no need to go any higher really but don’t go lower either. Just wasting your system otherwise. Two sticks of 8GB at that speed is plenty.

Then he is not knowledgeable in PC's

What you want is minimum 3200mhz 2x8gb sticks. Or 2x16 if you want 32gb ram of course.

are you taking into account inflation? we have had two global events that saw nations print money.

ah right yeah. okay thank you

You should let windows decide. Gaming cannot take advantage of Virtual Memory (Page FIle)

This is true in case of Elder Scrolls Series.

A game only lives up to its hype when the modding community gets their hands on it.

The easiest way to be banned is to not agree with them on the subject? Just wanting an open conversation can be enough sometimes
