I know I'm old, but I always keep an internal writer. They cost nothing, and blank DVDs/Blu-Ray are disposable at this point. It's way too easy to get beat for a USB drive, happens all the time.

I'm 43, but when I built my PC this year I figured it wouldn't need one.

Come to think of it, maybe I should get a Blu ray burner and not just DVD. Who knows of I'll ever need it, but might as well since I'm getting one.

most of these newer cases don't even have a bay for an optical drive

You rarely NEED it, but it's handy as hell when you do. It's not like SATA is going anywhere I've had mine for my last 2 builds. They don't really break.

Yep, mine doesn't.

Camp out at Micro Center. That or a bot is the only way you're getting a card at retail.

What PC games should I play brehs?

I have a new PC and I got GamePass to mess around but I'll pretty much play anything that's recommended.

PC brehs, I was going to buy a gaming desktop but decided to wait a year since I'm relocating and I just won a gaming laptop thru work. I'm curious if I can run flight simulator 2020 on it on decent settings. It's a:
MSI GS75 Stealth

17.3" Full HD 1920x1080, 240Hz
Intel® Core™ i7-10875H Mobile Processor (8X 2.3GHz - 5.1GHz)
16GB [8GB x 2] 3200MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM Laptop Memory
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6
512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD

At "decent" settings, you won't hit 60fps, but Flight Simulator doesn't need 60fps to be enjoyable
