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), Iām going to guess that they didnāt have the parts in stock and ordered them from a wholesaler.
Yay, Iāve 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 itās not necessary, I like to have my own wallpapers).

hey, Iām 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 shouldnāt consider updating. Itās 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fact it seems if you really want to build a computer now (and not wait months for parts to get to you), you need to buy outdated parts, which also have had their prices go up because thatās all thatās in stock currently.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 itās 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 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 donāt know if it is DDR3 or DDR4, and Iām 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 doesnāt 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 donāt run 400 mods . Iām sorry I have just learned that computers hate mods. Edit: okay my pc isnāt that good (and by that I mean itās ), but I still think 400 mods is a lot.

Oh I have tried Minecraft moding but Iām just too lazy to handle more than a single modpack or a few mods worth of technical isues. I get that Iām lazy.
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? Iāve looked for those around the net, but I canāt 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 Iām no handy man. And Iām not a 3D model artist either. If anyone knows something, Iād be grateful.
