Hey all! After two years of gateway-drugging myself into PC gaming via Steamdeck, I finally found a good justifiable reason to build a proper desktop rig. I’m a small pool contractor, and had been using a higher end MSI laptop for my design and rendering work, but was starting to bottleneck on performance with more intricate designs. Had a few jobs come in under-budget, and decided to reinvest the money into a proper workstation that would maximize my workflow. And if it’s also capable of running Cyberpunk at Ultra settings? I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, IRS
Only compromise I made was on GPU given how stupid the 5090 is priced right now, and possibly going to add another 32gb of DDR5 soon, but right now it’s not really needed.
