Everything about this PC build is wrong. The CPU choice, the memory choice, the GPU choice, the amount of RAM and VRAM, the storage speed, the case, the airflow… even the Power Supply is not up to snuff… that is, if you listen to armchair experts.
What if I just want to play games? What if I don’t care about 4K RTX, 180Hz smoothness, or even *gasp* Ultra Settings? Can a PC that breaks EVERY SINGLE unwritten rule still play games? And can it survive a comment section full of people who know more than me?
But first… What am I drinking???
