I guess this is how I get upgraded to Windows 11.

Time to start the fun/laborious process of getting this thing set up exactly how I like it!

This is the PC I got for anyone curious. I think I saw Wang recommend it, and my prior desktop was a decade old and on its last legs--figured I'd better grab it when it popped back in stock before more tariff craziness.

That looks awesome, congratulations!

Seems future proof, too, although I guess you can't know for sure until the next generation of consoles releases their specs. Was there a specific game/program/process you were targeting with the upgrade? My last upgrade was spurred on by the build before that shitting itself trying to run dark souls 3 on the lowest settings

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

My PC is probably 5 years old and I haven't felt a performance need to replace it but the potential for consumer electronics to see a major and sustained uptick in pricing has made me consider pushing up finding a replacement.

It's not the best moment financially to be making unnecessary large purchases though

My last PC was with Rise of the Tomb Raider in mind. This one is for FFVII Rebirth and Cyberpunk 2077.

Im pretty excited.

Looks like a really nice PC. Honestly i can see it being good enough for next gen as well so long as you don't want 4K for the next 10 years. My PC is 11 years old now so should probably think about an upgrade myself.

ah yeah that's a goodie to use. the 4070 Super basically is gonna be just fine for a while, the VRAM will hold you up if you do a lot of ray tracing or 4K gaming but otherwise you're set for a bit. that CPU meanwhile is gonna be good for years. glad you like it!

And it has ultrawide support, as does Ninja Gaiden 2 Black! Love that Koei is actually getting with the times (although Warriors Abyss is missing UW support)
