My New Gaming PC
After years and years of procrastination and debate, I finally pulled the trigger on a new gaming PC a few weeks ago. There were several factors that led to this decision. For one, I was working off of an older laptop that was just not cutting it anymore and that had slowed to a frustrating pace to even try to blog on. I had saved up some crypto, so it would not be coming out of my household budget (the wife loved this lolol). Another factor was my eager anticipation of PsyberX dropping in the not-too-distant-future and I wanted to be prepared with enough power to be able to handle a FPS of its caliber. Finally, I had recently purchased an Oculus Quest 2 and wanted a PC that could be able to link it to, in order to greatly expand the amount of game titles I had access to. I had also been talking to @raymondspeaks and watching him play Star Citizen in the Mancave discord and was eager to give it a try with him as well.
I am an extremely slow shopper and this purchase was no different as I poured through days and days of data and comparisons to make sure I was going to get the best bang for my buck. I normally do most of my online tech buying through Best Buy or Amazon, but I was surprised to find that Newegg had much better deals on gaming PCs than anyone else online.
In the end, I my final decision was to go with a MSI Gaming Desktop Aegis R 10SD-053US Intel Core i7 10th Gen 10700F (2.90GHz) 16GB DDR4 1 TB SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Windows 10 Home 64-bit It ended up running me about $1200 US, but I figured this would work for just about anything I could throw at it for a couple of years at least. As a bonus that I didn't know at the time, it came with a free gaming mouse and keyboard....so there are two things I don't have to buy lololol
An additional element that factored into my purchase was the future desire to potentially create a podcast or to stream games and I knew this machine would be able to keep pace without too much effort.
So far, this PC has exceeded all my expectations. The first game I bought was No Man's Sky and I am greatly enjoying it. I plan to buy Star Citizen and also to load my Win version of Ark to it in the very near future. Using my Oculus tethered to the PC wirelessly has been a dream and greatly expanded the game catalog I have access to now.
The only thing I need now is for the amazing team at @psyber-x to drop this banger they are working on so I can see my PC smoking in the pale moon light as I destroy all who cross my path! lololol
The ordering, customer service, and shipping with Newegg was phenomenal and I would recommend them to anyone who may be looking for an online place to get electronics,

We used to have Star Citizen days in the Man Cave but people just got busy. Now that you're here I could probably pull @beardoin in for a play too - we can create a BRO alliance or something
If everything goes as planned, I should have Star Citizen next Friday!
Yup, I'll be up for that. You can trial all my ships. I have some pretty big ones lol. I have a Caterpillar too - which you can fly one manned, but once the full game is ready it will need a crew of at least 8 lol
oh wow, we need to start recruiting then lololol
Well, this is the plan. Recruiting you now :)
Let me know when its free week again and I'd do it then :)

Still a dream of many to own a Gaming PC. Many congratulations to you. Happy for you and to be honest you got it at Good price.
Dayum just keyboard and mouse free well, hopefully in future they'll add other things as well like GPU? Haha.
Have fun on your new PC and great day ahead. Looking for the upcoming podcasts as well!
Thanks so much for the comment! It has definitely been a long time waiting to finally get one!
My pleasure and nice meeting ya!
Totally worth having patience for it in the end. !LUV
I like the design of the case and that's a grand price for what you got, if you ever need to in the future you'll be able to add to it here and there too, which is great.
There's nothing worse than being stuck on old and slow piece of equipment, I'd say you're flying now. All you'd need is a decent mic and you could easily record and edit some podcasts and gaming streams.
I can't wait for Psyber X either! I'm ready for it to drop!

That's what I was thinking as well.

Looks great, I've been dreaming of buying a Casper Excalibur, but I'll have to work a bit harder to get one without breaking the household budget.
That was exactly me.....I didn't want to take away from the family budget to buy a gaming pc. Thanks for commenting!
Nice upgrade. I just upgraded my RAM yesterday. Moar power feels great.

Newegg is my goto for everything tech Altho Bestbuy has brick and motor stores .It's a try and buy mentality.You got a monster of a machine.Your making me drool over all the lighting and power this monster has at your finger tips.It goes to prove that being on the blockchain has it's perks.Glad to read the wife approves of your recent purchase. It's that kind of support that inspires those to pull the trigger on those type of purchases or what ever comes your way.Have fun with your new toy.
