Fuck that's a sweet sub heading.

Thrill me up.

Do you need to run it as a home office machine too? Mayber Craster could help, I hear he's looking to buy something new.

This comes with an i3 and a 1050ti. Slightly over budget but it would definitely play most new stuff at decent settings.

Just an idea at the moment, would need to scrimp and save. Just need an idea of what to look out for. Thanks for everything so far.

murder some cryptominer after he leaves the shop with some overpriced graphic card and steal it. You'll help the environment along the way.

Keep an eye on the Dell Outlet section for desktops. Maybe a lower end XPS system, or one of the cheaper Alienware systems.

Incidentally, I was planning on getting a £400-500 pc for network game testing and a few other off board tasks. If you haven't got this by then, I'll post my findings as to its performance then.

That's because literally no one buys a PC unless it's to play games. You'd just get a Mac instead.

Everyone that I ever met ever since the dawn of time used PC's and not mac's.

My brother in law works in video edition, and his colleagues made fun of him at his first day at work because he was the only one using a PC laptop.

I don't know the moral of this anecdote. Maybe that I'm glad i'm not into video editing.

(i once had a job that forced me to use a macbook air. I hated the thing and never got used to it. All those finger gestures seemed like too much effort. Just let me be lazy and rest my hand on a simple 2 button mouse, like I use to do since 1990)

Since so much software is platform independent these days, only zealots still evangelise OSs. The 5k retina iMac is a thing of beauty though. Haven't had a go with the iMac pro yet, but it's just a matter of time.

I work with Apple shit every day. Apple are utter cunts and everything they produce is seemingly designed to infuriate me in every conceivable way. Except their hardware, which is lovely so long as you can replace the OS.

It's amazing how quickly your objection to data sharing dissipates when you have no money. I even complete surveys for cash now. :DD

I really hope valve one day invest large sums of money into a WINE like solution for playing your entire Steam library, on Linux, including games with no native Linux version.

Last time I used WINE, it was functional but fiddly, and performance took a big hit.

Yeah, but they're someone else's problem. Just like sewer pipes or electricity lines - as long as they work, then most people probably don't really care to know any detail.

And if you are that someone else, thanks for maintaining the servers for us :kiss:
