It totally depends on hat games you play  
With this amount, you need to compromise on some things like [famous IP address login panel](https://routerlogin.mobi/192-168-0-2/)

Well, it’s kind of too late now that I have bought everything and received some of my parts already.

CPU [Received]  
MBD [Received]  
RAM [Received]  
SSD1 [Received]  
HDD2 [Already had it]  
GPU [Received]  
PSU [Received]  
Case [Received]

EDIT: It seems Canada Computers has problems at sending a package to a nearby house as well as processing an order. They are supposed to finish the order processing by maximum 24 hours. A week or two have already passed and the order is still processing! What the hell?!

Unless they messed up (or the postal service messed up), I’m going to guess that they didn’t have the parts in stock and ordered them from a wholesaler.

Yay, I’ve got all components! Now, I just gotta build my toaster and install Windows 10. Installing all the software too as well as purchasing the license (even though it’s not necessary, I like to have my own wallpapers).

Do you guys have any advice?

_Necromancing the forums, mwahahahahahahaha!_

I’m thinking about making my own case. Is there any kind of rules to follow so that most components can fit in?

hey, I’m thinking about getting a new computer to replace my old one that has been on the verge of breaking down, any suggestions?  
I am looking for an affordable gaming computer that can run fairly recent games like sea of thieves and fallout 4.  
oh, also I am looking for a laptop.

Not sure if it is the wisest investment at the moment. I had the impression that, due to the increased demand in the pandemic, computer prices rose a lot. I might be wrong, though.

If you have _something_ that works for you now, you shouldn’t consider updating. It’s very hard to get recently released CPUs or GPUs. In fact it seems if you really want to build a computer now (and not wait months for parts to get to you), you need to buy outdated parts, which also have had their prices go up because that’s all that’s in stock currently.

I saw that some AMD GPU model that was released like 3 years ago, today is selling for more than the launch price. So it’s very bad time to build a computer now. if you can get a prebuilt or a laptop that is in stock and still reasonably priced, that might be something to try.

I guess these posts fit here.

I’m choosing option C: wait until parts are available with normal prices.

I might as well post my specs here for the sake of it.

OS: Windows 10 (Not my preference, but oh well) with backup Ubuntu Linux on USB  
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz  
RAM: 32 GB (I don’t know if it is DDR3 or DDR4, and I’m too lazy to check)  
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080  
Disk: 2 TB hard-drive and two 1 TB hard-drives  
Monitors: One 1920x1080 and one 1600x900

While it doesn’t run quite as well as I would like, it is perfectly fine for the vast majority of tasks. I can run Rimworld at a consistent 30 FPS with over 400 mods installed while having Discord, Waterfox, and VLC in the background doing their thing just fine. I just want a consistent 60 FPS dammit.

If you want 60 fps don’t run 400 mods 😂😂. I’m sorry I have just learned that computers hate mods. Edit: okay my pc isn’t that good (and by that I mean it’s 🇧🇪), but I still think 400 mods is a lot.

Oh I have tried Minecraft moding but I’m just too lazy to handle more than a single modpack or a few mods worth of technical isues. I get that I’m lazy.

Time to revive this thread.

This is probably one of the silliest questions on the forums.

Does anyone know if there are 3D files for a custom PC case in the shape of a toaster whose bread slots act as hot swappable drive bays? I’ve looked for those around the net, but I can’t find anything like it, let alone one that lacks those drive bays. I know that most gamers would actually rip it off from a real toaster, but I’m no handy man. And I’m not a 3D model artist either. If anyone knows something, I’d be grateful.
