I thought it would be fun for my wife to try Valheim with my mates as her first PC game. Shes since taken over my PC and ive been relegated to my handheld and a chair from the kitchen. She even plays with my mates on her day off while I work. This has been the norm for months now. I have truly been cucked. Please send your condolences

Pour one out for our brother in arms whose wife just gave him permission to build a second gaming PC ;)

    Not in this economy. Ram alone will require a second mortgage.

    Buy a used Optiplex.

    Gets you an acceptable case, mobo, CPU, RAM, and probably SSD for about $200. Add a used 3050/3060/4060 GPU and an upgraded PSU.

    It’s not gonna knock your socks off, but it gets you going without over-spending and you can carry some of that forward when you upgrade later.

    May I suggest an AMD card instead? Even on the second market, they're typically better bang-for-buck

    I've been extremely satisfied both with the 9070XT that replaced my old RTX 3080, and the Arc A310 in my media server. Both have worked flawlessly, and with Optiscaler, native DLSS/FSR/XeSS support doesn't really matter anymore, you can just use whatever regardless of your hardware, and add FG if you want to anything.

    I was thinking of buying (her) a 9070xt, taking the 6800xt from the big PC and making an egpu for the legion go. But then again the legion go is still keeping up 1080p/60 on medium with all games, so I'll just keep playing for now. I might get a 1080p monitor though.
