I think I've pretty much committed to doing this... I ordered the damn RAM

Another day where I buy chocolate in case any trick or treaters show up but then they don't so I eat it 🦁🍫

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

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)

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

today I learned that bisexual RAM is a thing

been researching a possible new PC build.. which I also researched last year and then never did it
shit's expensive!

free hour just kicked in

This is what Rawr Deals™ has over the rest tbh. You're buying from someone who knows this stuff. If you buy one of those sticks anywhere else you're rolling the dice on which of the many mutually incompatible knockoffs it might be. But I can tell you exactly what the hell it is and what it can do
