Welp I got the wife some candy too

cst1992 · Jan 7, 2021

Used candy?!
(I think the candy analogy is starting to break down...)

Kicking out the 850 Evo 250GB and finally going NVMe for the boot drive in the main system. Went for a big capacity so I can keep the OS and all my games on a single high-speed drive.

cst1992 · Jan 7, 2021

Nice one! Although make sure you make separate partitions in case you want to switch OSs or reinstall your OS later.

Or buy a second one for your personal stuff like I did

If it were a 128/256GB drive, sure.
But this is a 1TB NVMe drive.
Plus, he wants to keep everything on a single drive.

I mean you never had to dig and find a piece candy in grandma’s purse. It was old but the flavor was still there :roll:

True yeah, I could do that. So that way I wouldn't need to copy everything off of the drive before wiping for an OS reinstall.

Right. That's what I've done too - only keep Windows and a few essential softwares(plus browser files like downloads, etc) in the C: partition. Rest is there in other partitions - especially Steam games and large movies.

A 1500x is a solid CPU. What abusive about that?

because he has 5600x and his wife only a 1500x

It’s only abuse when I beat her in street fighter :peace:

PerfectWave said:

honestly though she’s never had a desktop before. She decided she wanted to get into gaming and with the current market it’s less costly this route for someone who’s never gamed on PC.

Jetster said:

she’s drives a Mini Van and I Drive a BMW

hers is definitely nicer :roll:

That's still not abuse.

I get that it was supposed to be a joke. Just didn't find it to be a good one...

And there it is. A 1500x is a great first time CPU!

That's not it, it just doesn't come across very well in text. It also depends on mood. I'm not in a great one today..
