PC Building Urges?

[Gareque]

So is this common amongst people here?

 

I've literally just finished building myself a new PC so I'm now running an AMD 2600X and Strix Vega 56 on an X470 AORUS board with 16GB RAM.  But it's already not enough and I already want to build a bigger, better case with even more RGB lol.  Unfortunately, not being rich this isn't possible, but ya know...

 

How common is this amongst people here?

nothing wrong with "want to", but can you control yourself after all.

if you dont want anything... whats the purpose of life?

If I caved into my desires to build up new gear I'd be a very poor man, I'd have an awesome stash of toys, but I would be eating no name dog food in the cold every night.

I don't know about the others, but yeah, the itch is real. Mine usually doesn't get very strong until a year or so has passed. I've been using tricks to sooth that itch for a while though since my 6600k build.

 

It was in a large mITX case with a GPU that, technically was too long. Replacing the GPU with a 1070, which normally would be a simple operation required a bit of research to find a card that wasn't over-tall or any longer that what I had, and the actual replacement had some interesting moments. Getting that back up was a very itch soothing moment.

 

Next I replaced the case with something even smaller, with an AIO CPU cooler. Again, researching what was available that would fit my components. That when surprisingly smooth. (After I removed the protective film from the CPU cooler, that is.)

 

Now, my next build is on the horizon with Ryzen 3.

 

TL;DR

Itch management is a requirement.

Back in High School i was trying to get my friends into PC gaming so i could build them a PC... Most stuck with what they got (at least they got steam) or went to consoles.
