i figured 32GB would be enough........for now:smugfavre:

Ryzen 9 5900x for the cpu too:ehh:
Yea I got 32gb as well but with 2 sticks. Im prolly gonna get 2 more 16 GB sticks to make it 64gb. Not even for the GBs but more for aesthetic. Don’t really like the missing space. lol. Since u don’t really need more than 32gb.

with game development these days, it could be a good decade before we see 32 become the norm. shyt as of now minimum requirements still top out at 8 gigs. i think covid, scalpers, n gpu prices gonna hold back gaming benchmarks by a good 5 years.

That’s a fact. I guess the slow down can be a good thing because it will teach people to appreciate their hardware more and get the most out of it.

Bruh yeah there’s new pc tech damn near every 6 months. Putting more money into a pc atleast once a year for like a 15-20% increase is crazy. That being said, I’ve upgraded something all three years I’ve been on pc lol. I wanted a 3080 but I just don’t see it bring worth it for me personally. I have the 3070, I think imma just hold off until the 4000 series

Don't know where to go with my upgrade.

Have an x370 Crosshair so no Ryzen 5xxx for me. Also have an unused Z370 motherboard laying around.

Anything else, I'll be buying a new CPU with a motherboard.

I just bought a Legion 7 3070 for no fukking reason :mjlol:

I already got a 3090 desktop

My cheap ass dell laptop I bought like 3 years ago kicked the bucket. So I was like I'm going to buy a cheap ass $300 chromebook because all I literally use it for is to watch videos before I go to bed.

Ended up in a black hole of watching laptop reviews and checking laptop sales.

Consumerism is a fukking problem man :sadcam:
