Its a real nice one from Best Buy, Im not going to play anything crazy fancy, just some FPSs. I also plan to pick up streaming again and maybe editing videos again (except I work full time so idk).

I havent really taken care of my old computers since theyve been just dell laptops for work and school, but Id like to I guess have a fresh start with this new computer coming in. Ive always hated how slow my laptops are and they could never handle games or video editing, and streams just barely ran if I was lucky

Get rid of dust that's built up every 3 months or so

If having to download and delete games regularly sounds bad, maybe buy extra storage

We used to have empires ruled by emperors. There used to be kingdoms lead by kings. Now all we got are countries.
