NO2_Fiend posted... The benefits of PC gaming are also what ruin PC gaming. I find I spend more time messing with settings or downloading mods than I do playing the game and thats if you can even get the stupid games to run right since PCs are so fucking buggy and you constantly have to download drivers and third party software to play games."I hate options because I have no self control and I don't understand Steam" --- Oda break tracker 2022- 13 (3) | THE Ohio State:11-1 | Las Vegas Raiders: 6-9 ...

I am primarily a console gamer because I use my computer primarily for work (working remotely at home). I don't want to risk any instability caused by games. Barely caring about PC performance also gives me much longer between upgrades, and hardware is cheap when I do have to upgrade. I also find the viewing distance from my TV more relaxing than being up close to my monitors. I don't care about modding, because I barely have time to play stock games. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Okay I guess the 5600x went up again so this is $615 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CsVznt But I also hastily picked parts and could probably get it lower if I took more than 3 minutes to put something together. This also assumes you're building from scratch and don't have components you could already use (like the case, PSU, or storage) You could also knock off quite a bit getting some components used. --- Advice from a dryer: Open the door to amazement.

I actually do have my pc hooked to a TV. Been this way since 2019. Made the switch because I wanted a larger screen and hdr capability. The monitors of 2019 were just wayy behind. I believe its more common for enthusiast pc gamers to have their pcs hooked up to tvs now that oled tv support up to 4k and 120 hz and current gpus support hdmi 2.1. TVs typically provide way better picture quality at a cheaper cost than monitors. At least it was this way earlier last year. Maybe some new monitors can compete in pq at same price tag now. --- I'm a Taurus. Currently playing: Decay: The Mare & Spyro 3.5: Return to the Forgotten Realms He/Him ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tanthalas posted... Oh yeah, I see PCs hooked up to TVs in living rooms everywhere.How many people with gaming PCs do you know? Derp. Most people with gaming PCs are in their bedroom. If you wanna connect it to a TV, you pick it up and move it closer than connect with HDMI cable. Or screen project for the wireless option. So your point here is demolished. Tanthalas posted...

Overall I prefer PC, but one thing that annoys the fucking shit out of me is all the damn launchers. On Xbox, if I want to play GTAV, I go to My Games and select GTAV and then I'm playing it. On PC, I want to play GTAV, which pulls up the Epic Games Launcher (I got it for free from them like three years ago), which then brings up the Rockstar Games Launcher. Oh, both launchers not only need an update, but I forgot my password for *both* of them so I have to reset both passwords?
