Useless Thread MDCCLXXXII: Money for nothing and your chicks for free

[Kairi Zaide]

why the hell would you spend all that on a computer

So that I can run Genshin Impact at 144 fps at 1440p, very clearly.

8000 on a PC and it's still much better than yours AND he built it himself...

 

[Kairi Zaide]

LMAO YOU IDIOT

pre built

I did a price comparison if I had built it myself, I would have saved only ~150-200$. But also, I would have spent much more time building it and probably finding out I don't have all the required pieces. The cable management wouldn't be as good either.

Like I said, it's not a "off the shelf" PC, it's all parts that I have chosen. I can upgrade anytime I want without issue, unlike some off the shelf pre-built PCs.

who cares about weeb shit like that

build it yourself

you spend all day at home anyway

 

[John Price]

Okay that 8000 dollar computer is pre built too

You pay at most 1000 max if you order the parts independently and plug them in yourself.

Engineer

"f*** building it myself, i'll buy a pre built for MUCH more"

dude do you not have microcenter? They build it for like 100 dollars.

EVen @Hammettf2b had someone build his.

Except my graphics card alone cost more than that...

 

[holy]

do you agree with this AOTY decision @holy

Yeah, Roddy deserved it. Probably the best new artist out right now, plus he’s a Libra.

Why the hell would you need a fancy ass graphics card? People like you and those 3080 nerds piss me off. Unless you're getting it for free off a sponsorship deal why bother?

@John Price I explicitely told you that if I had built it myself, I would have saved 150-200 bucks at most. I compared the price for my "custom pre-built" to the prices of the individual components on Newegg.

I preferred paying that to have it done professionally instead of me spending 1-2 days building it and getting all the necessary tools to build it, and probably screwing up at some point and having to restart. And, as stated, I wouldn't have managed the cables as well, and good cable management can increase the lifespan of the components.

 

[John Price]

still laughing at someone paying 2000 or 3000 for a prebuilt computer

have fun

Then why brag about such a high end computer? I'm agreeing that someone else should do it though. When I updated my computer it wouldn't turn on remember? Because of the Bios incompatability. So I drove 30 minutes to Microcenter and they set it up for 100 dollars.

> LOL ZAIDE CHEAP WON'T BUY PS4

> LOL IMAGINE PAYING 150-200$ MORE FOR A PREBUILT HAHAHA WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY LOL XD

 

[John Price]

you could spend that 1500 on an instamix and it'd be more worth it

 

[John Price]

you purchased a pre-built computer

Let me know when that sous vide machine comes in.

 

[John Price]

Not only did you buy a shitty pre-built but you purchased it to play shitty JRPG that aren't even graphics intensive. If you're going to blow your small paycheck you make every month on fancy computers, at least push it to the limit. Is that thing even overclocked bro?

 

[Kairi Zaide]

you purchased a pre-built computer

Again, it's not an Alienware or something like that. I handpicked the parts, they built it, they shipped it. There is no proprietary shit that makes it almost impossible to upgrade.

 

[John Price]

creep

I don't even need to overclock it to play at max settings at 60 fps at 1440p for a 3A game. Probably if I wanted to go 144 Hz, but since I don't play FPS I don't really care.

Then a computer like that costs 500.

15 years ago, sure.

Genshin Impact for PS4 launches September 28 - Gematsu

 

[John Price]

at least you're playing an open world rpg

most jrpg are typical offline turn based bullshit

nobody cares about offline play

the most popular rpg in history were all INTERNET based. Runescape, Everquest, and WoW.
