I'm building a low end gaming PC out of bits I had spare, just for fun really, I'll probably sell it on for what it cost me when I'm done. I was missing a graphics card which is obviously the killer these days. Ended up buying a venerable
GTX 690 which still more than holds it's own against things like the 1550ti and 1660. The only way to get anything decent at a sensible price seems to be to go completely left-field/old.
My main PC is a nice spec but became another project. I've watercooled the 3080 with EKWB bits, got an i7 10770k, 32Gb of HyperX RAM, something like 2 or 3Tb of SSD, and I keep looking at it and thinking "I never use the thing, and when I do it's usually to play F1 games which aren't exactly demanding, so why do I have all that value sat there doing nothing"
I've just changed jobs and they're supplying me with a 16" MBP, so other than gaming I'm covered.
Might end up selling the "good" PC and keeping the "cheap" one at this rate, or just flogging the lot and getting a console..... don't hurt me
