yeah you should be able to build a nice PC for that money

did you have any specific parts picked out?

oh no nothinnnnng yet.

Just started thinking about it.

Just finished uni, just moved out, looking for a big boy job. But this will be the first big purchase once that happens i think.

having a hard time prioritizing new chair vs new keeb

both overdue. between fixing an ass and back killer or s***ty extra strokes

i think chair. but no matter what i'll want an herman miller

My case came today and its gorgeous

Wanted the white but they were sold out

No cap I'm rocking a 50 dollar amazon chair and its pretty comfy

i've been looking at the $200 price range and to me it seems like the difference from $75-200 isn't much..

damn i wish i was working

whatchu get

p400a

White one was badass though. This is my first build so I wanted something that I could upgrade ''future proof''. The spacing and air flow is pretty unmatched from cases this price.

Just dont get a dxracer chair

comes with 3 fans?

psu shroud too idk why i never thought to get a case with a shroud. PSUs can be so ugly

Yeah 3rgb fans and they're really good. Airflow is tight and its big as f***

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am currently building a new PC since my last one is starting to suck. Currently I just use an HDD and am upgrading to an SSD but still want to use my old hard drive as extra space. My HDD has my OS and all my games on it. Is there any way I can just swap my HDD into my new computer and continue to use it and have access to all my old files and games and somehow erase the windows operating system from it? Or am I going to have to wipe it clean to be able to use in my new system?

currently have a 7700k and gtx 1080

upgrading next year probably

Same except 2080 super, 7700k going strong

You dont have to wipe your hard drive clean to use windows on your ssd, i had the same question when i got my ssd after my hard drive

I forgot how i did it but you should just be able to look it up

sell me your old gpu

Does a pcie riser cause any quality or performance loss?

What's the best gaming keyboard and mouse? Wireless?

Whew

wym best? if you mean for competitive gaming keyboards dont really give any perceivable advantage. otherwise it's all preference based on switches, form factor etc.

mice more tricky because "gaming" mice do offer a perceivable advantage in gaming. you dont wanna be using an office mouse with a s***ty sensor. if you have a good sensor it all falls on mouse shape, size, weight etc. modern wireless mice great too btw, as good as wired. id recommend the g pro wireless if you got some bread & wanna stick with wireless. it's a pretty neutral mouse size/shape/weight thats great for 90% of people

I mean like what's the preferable standard for long term gaming? Price ain't a issue.

i personally like using 60% keyboards for gaming, its all i really need and the small form factor is great. something like the anne pro 2, ducky one 2 mini, vortex POK3R would be good with whatever switches or keycaps you like. will run anywhere from like 80-120$.

id still recommend the g pro wireless for a mouse. its pretty much the standard for gaming mice atm plus im sure you could return it if you didnt like it. right now i main the glorious model o. its a bit more niche tho because it's super light and a little on the larger side. but it was like 50$ and its been serving me great
