I forgot how GOAT pc gaming was, I left PC gaming alone for a decade until I built my current PC 2 months ago and it's been :banderas::whew: ever since.

I've lowkey been surprised that the midrange PC build I ran with (1060 6GB & i5 6500) is tearing up everything I've thrown at it at 2560x1440 with no problems, only game that I've ran into slowdown with on max settings is Watch Dogs 2 but even on that I can get a consistent 23+ frames with the high res texture pack enabled at 2560x1440 and it's smooth as butter in 1080p :obama:

The deals floating around the internet for PC software are crazy compared to what they used to be, I just copped a $6 humble bundle that came with lifetime licenses for daemon tools, system mechanic, 3DMark and EaseUS partition master :why: :whew: Even Windows 10 itself is free lol.

Only downside is the inevitable upgrade cycle in 3 years, thankfully I wasn't impressed by none of the VR shyt I've tried so I should be good on that for at least another half a decade.

I've been reading about the new X299 chipset and shyt, I'm kinda pissed that Intel only supported the X99 chip for 3 years (2 generations of their chips).

I'm real interest in the X299 chips though. We'll have to see if if's worth it to upgrade. :yeshrug:

Ma fellow PC brehs, I have seen the light, Been dodging spending decent money on a chair, Worst mistake ever about a week ago some cheap chair i had from wal mart broke while i was tryna do some video editing. Chair was trash but it lasted a year back support was as a chair you thought was pose to feel and and after about a year I felt like I was siting on wood. So I started looking up the gaming chairs Dx racer, GT Omega ect. Ran Across the a review of a new brand called Ewin and they had some great discounts and showed how they made the chairs ect after going back and fourth with prices I wound up spending about 240$ and surprising shipping was great got the chair in four days. When it came it took about 20min to set up, first time I sat on it I honestly hit the :banderas: I didn't know this is what a decent chair felt like. Ewin also promised me if the chair ever started to go flat they would replace it as what they use inside the chair doesn't allow it to go down. Back support is great and having a chair that can recline is amazing. If you brehs are looking to ever get a good chair without going the super high end office chair route try out Ewin can't lie if your going from a average chair this is damn near life and health changing to sit properly for long periods of time.
