I’ve been putting off building a new pc. More and more it looks like my 10 year old machine has got a few more years left in it.

I just built an am4 machine from mostly old parts I had kicking around. Was happy I went a little to crazy a few years ago. No way I’d of been able to do it with prices now

Yeah, my trick is to save up and try to buy the 2nd best components as much as possible. The very best will always have a shiny new thing tax attached to them, but 2nd best is where the real value comes in. Granted I’m not building gaming pcs, so this isn’t too unreasonable. The current market won’t let me get close to what I’d actually like though.

My ten year old former Win10 gaming PC was recently reborn as a CachyOS Linux gaming PC, and I just finished playing through Clair Obscur on it. I did have to upgrade the video card, but I got the RTX 5050, well within your “second best” range target, since it’s technically their budget level card.
