Thats a damn fine rig, especially landing a 30xx series card in the shortage. I thought about buying a premade rig this time around with the shortages but in the end I just bided my time over the course of like 7 or 8 months until I could land all the parts I wanted at retail value. Finding a brand new 3080 for 700 bucks was like looking for a needle in a haystack the size of Mt. Everest and then finding a golden ticket instead. I was very close to just buying a prebuilt with a 2080 Super or something.

I ended up with over 3 grand in this PC but it should last a looooooong time so I think it was worth it. The only area I really don't throw all the loot at is my monitor. Yeah I could buy a 120hz 24 inch 4k for like 700-1000 or whatever they cost but I'm happy at 60 frames locked on everything so I just got a 50inch 4k60 TV with HDR for like 250 lmao. First test I gave this PC was "can it run unoptimized af Cyberpunk 2077?" Runs it in native 4k, 60 frames steady, everything cranked to ultra and doesn't even break a sweat. Love my consoles but there is nothing like high end PC gaming.

I'm also a filthy pirate from time to time and the Great Sea of PC is much easier to navigate than the Console Straights. Don't have to void your warranties and potentially brick your system to run bootlegs, or more importantly as it's what most of my piracy is, emulators. I love emulators and going back and playing all kinds of old niche games I'll never play otherwise. Found some of my favorite games ever by just going through random rankings lists online and giving things I'd never heard of a try. Terranigma comes to mind, that was a damn GEM on super nintendo and nobody played it. Chrono Trigger is my favorite game ever...but I never made it past like half way in Chrono Cross back in the day for some reason. Went back recently and bootlegged it and found an HD texture replacement pack for it, cranked up all the weird emulator settings, and it ended up looking almost like a ps2 game in detail with no high res and no jaggies.
Was very nice. WOOOO LATE NIGHT SEPH RAMBLINGS.
