been researching a possible new PC build.. which I also researched last year and then never did it
shit's expensive!
what i was thinking of doing was building something decent but without a dedicated GPU to begin with since i'm not a big PC gamer & i'm more interested in it being good at General Purpose Things. so I can save a chunk of money up front and then add a GPU in later if I need it
so I've priced up what i think are decent parts excluding a GPU and it's come to £1208..... that is still A Lot Of Money.... but i would get a lot of use out of it
the last one I built lasted me over 10 years (admittedly with most of the parts except the CPU and MB being swapped out at some point)
with the price of ram inflating I'm wondering if I should just buy some now in case it goes up even more.... I guess it's not coming down until the AI bubble pops
@lion this is the only way to have fun pc building tbh
@lion The way things have slowed down you might get 20 years out of the new one
@lion it'll be so cheap then though
today I learned that bisexual RAM is a thing
