When I was a kid I played on a junker PC and it was magic
Now I’m an adult with more income and a high end pc and I don’t have the time to appreciate it or enjoy it
Better parts don’t mean more fun. If anyone judges you for not having the right build, fuck em.
Till last year I ran fucking integrated graphics of I5 450 which is a fucking first gen Intel CPU☠️
In the next month or two I’ll be building a gaming pc
I always like hearing the old specs, just to see the jump to where you are now
older or cheaper hardware gets you more happy per dollar imho.
“old stuff” with an nvme ssd
Clean build…I have built potato builds too, main thing is can it play the games you want.
👍
I built a low spec PC and it taught me to enjoy games, not unnecessary gloss that hides a shit game.
Was basically Athlon 3000G in a motherboard with 8GB RAM and no dGPU.
No worries, man. Only vile people mock others. I am very happy for you, it is for such joys that we live
I am a man that believes any job that puts food on a table is an honest job and worth of respect, i want to know your specs, and celebrate them with you bro…
I would have liked to know the specs. People who are snobs about it aren’t really PCMR, which is about doing the most you can with what you have at your disposal. I have far more respect for people like you than I do spoiled children racking up $5k in credit card debt to try and copy some influencer on YT.
That’s why it’s great to have graphics settings! 👍
It’s fine even something like a 1660 TI/2060 Super will still run new games at high settings playable as long as you avoid RT
It looks good and cleanly assembled. Congrats and enjoy!
Are you enjoying it? Then that’s the only thing that matters, brother. Enjoy!
The only things that matters is if YOU like your rig. Also no matter what hardware that you got, there’s always a ton of great games that can run on it.
As long as you’re happy with it. I do most of my gaming on a console, but it’s nice to have a gaming PC for some things. So long as you’re happy with it and it works, that’s enough. I would love to see the specs your new system uses, even if the hardware is old.
side note. I love how you ran the wires for your GPU. I may do that myself when I finally spring for some cable extensions.
From what i know, the reason people here hate old stuff its because some OP’s got scammed and overpaid, if you paid reasonably well on this build then it shouldn’t really be a problem.
Those specs are fine really. As you noted, cpu upgrade would make it tip-top for its weight.
And there is no shame in using old stuff.
My pc adventure started as:
– Some very old pc with Intel MMX stuff
– Intel Celeron ( P3 era ) with Ati Rage, later on Geforce 4 MX because some games were requiring 32 mb vram as minimum
– Pentium D 945, X1600 Pro ( what a disaster ) later on got an HD 4830
– Fujitsu ah 530 notebook with Intel P6100 cpu, later on swapped it with i5 480 m
– An Asus laptop with i7 7700HQ+ GTX 1050 4 gb
Now the system at my flair.
Pretty much never had top tier hw until this current system but was able to experience many great games still ( great as in not just aaa but lots of indies too )
If I was on a budget, difference from 1080p to 1440p is not that big of a jump tbh. 1080p 120+ fps is much cheaper than 1440 120+ fps
Respect for doing whatever it takes to enjoy pc life. If it means anything, i actually think your pc looks cool.
Can we get specs, then it’s easier to help you to upgrade
as a fellow poor, I think it looks very pretty.
I am much more impressed by a pc that’s built and was made on a budget with value as a primary goal than just somebody that can flash their cash around.
Its literally better than my pc in almost every way soooooo…… 🥳 Happy Gaming
No we love old stuff!! (i7-4790K)
