AAA gaming is a joke now. To the point that I am not gonna play AAA games other than MCC and CoDM with some exceptions
Figuring out what you will use your pc for is the foundation for getting best bang for your buck. Mine is light gaming and medium editing for now since I don't expect a payday anytime soon when I finally get a job.
Microtransactions have basically zero utility outside of a looking cool in a specific video game. If I am being honest of I spend $20 on these things every day I would have lost $7,300. That's the cost of a medium-high end PC and this is assuming you have no other costs - no taxes, no rent, no utilities, no subscription bullshit - just microtransactions. You might as well just save it money for a faster CPU or GPU or better yet, putting it aside as part of an emergency fund. Would I pay $20 for a basic meal? No! It's a rip-off, doubly so given that a big chunk of the $20 doesn't even go to compensating the workers behind it it goes to the c suite so they can buy another yacht, except it has actual utility: giving our body nutrition.
Personally as someone from the PCMR crowd, I think console is great for convenience. If you want something that works out if the box, that's the where console shines. The problem with console is entirely due to the companies who produce the consoles, especially due to shit like planned obsolescence.
I am going to downgrade to windows 7 for the sake of both nostalgia and performanc.

PSA: Do not buy games you know your hardware cannot run

1. Inspect carefully and/or ask the seller. The listing must contain **ALL** the specs such as model names, speeds, and max capacity of components. This is important for later. If there is not enough information on the specs, discard the listing immediately. Once you are aware of the specs, you can find upgrade components, make sure they are compatible with your case and motherboard. 2. Ask yourself "What do you need?" Your purchase can depend on what type of work you do and their intensity. These days, 32 gigs is recommended but you can exceed it but it may cost more. Take the previously mentioned specs and look for similar components for the same price.

Considering getting one for both aesthetic and saving money. Gonna get one where I can upgrade the RAM to 128 gigs and the ROM to at least 8 TB SSD. Any pros, cons, suggestions, etc?
Last-gen AMD GPUs and even some last-gen Nvidia GPUs beat Nvidia's current gen in performance and cost way less. The pricing of 40 series is absurd for the performance it provides.   
FINALLY! A non-RGB RAM stick with 32GB capacity and 3200hz, perfect for the future build
The BM800 is arguably one of the cheapest mics and the most common in the world, especially in Greater Asia however you should note that the quality differs WILDLY depending on which store it's from. Some tips from me speaking from experience. - it's treble heavy so boost up the bass; - there's 2 versions, a 10mm electret and a 16mm condenser. The former is good when connected to an audio interface with an 3.5mm mic jack of cheap live audio interfaces like the v8, the latter supports 48v phantom power. - NEVER buy it in a bundle and set, especially on Lazada and Shopee you're more likely to get the arguably worse 10mm version; - talk a bit louder than usual, that may help until you get a better mic
I'm currently getting some shit for my future workstation. I'm looking for one that doesn't bottleneck the GPU and CPU and run ddr4. Image is from my notepad
First off ask yourself "what suits my content the most?" This will be a key part of designing your stream layout as a layout that works for me might not work for you like different colors, xhat preferences, etc. Then ask yourself, "any fancy features for my layout?". I highly recommend plugins like gradients and audio visualizers (aka the lines things you see in trap music video and under my cam)  since they make an amateur stream look pro. The rest is up to you
What's the point of "gaming" PCs? I just realized there's no difference between an ultra high-end PC and a "gaming" PC so I don't see the need for a difference. `>`Bbbububuututt RGB For god's sake just add RGB and other high-end components to a normal PC or just swap the case. BOOM! Gaming PC. What exactly is the definition of gaming PC again? > A gaming computer [sic], also known as a gaming[ sic] PC, is a specialized personal computer designed for playing video games at high standards. - [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_computer) We have generic GPUs with performance that is on par if not far better than RTX in terms of gaming, we have generic RAM sticks with higher capacity, we even have non-gaming hardware that outperform said "gaming" hardware. Hell, I would fucking argue you can make a sick monster build for less money. But no. Thanks to capitalism pestering everything we love literally millions of gamers flock to anything labeled "gamer" without really looking into whether not that "gaming" hardware they're about to buy is actually good or not. Now gamers end up wasting thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars just to find something that looks "gamer-y" I mean if you want to make a custom PC that looks like a "gamer" one (with RGB and shit) just have the RGB on these only: - Keyboard - Mice - Case fans - light strips in the fence; but at the end of the day it's fucking pointless to call it a "gaming PC" since it's just a super-powerful computer with high-end hardware. End of rant. Period.
