I’m planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I’d like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It’s also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

    On the other hand, I bought a beefy power supply in my last rig based on advice that I’ll want room for upgrades, but I never did. It’s not really of interest to me to fuff around with upgrades.

    As a patient gamer, by the time my rig isn’t able to handle modern games, it’s time for a completely new build.

    Also, I care a lot about noise (and thus heat), so I’d rather keep my entire build’s thermal profile low, using lower-power components.

    My new build, I only included enough extra power for some extra HDDs (including extra overhead for power spikes).
