I ordered a few things. I got tired of buying canned air, so I picked up a rechargeable blower; it works like a charm. I'm still waiting for the flow meters.

Nice! Not at all, Gaming is Timeless. Whats truly impressive is that you’ve unlocked the ultimate legendary item: a wife with unmatched understanding lol. Meanwhile, I’m still sneaking in gaming sessions like a stealth mission.... I've mastered the art of ninja screen swapping to make it look like I’m hard at work :D

Including a subtle recognition there won't be any hits and certainly no homeruns requiring home plate? :p

That should be a very nice collection of GPU for everything but the poorest optimized games devoted to the most graphically intensive smeared graphics NV 9xx could run pin sharp.

I'm still at 1080p 60Hz, so I could probably buy a RX 7700 XT or 7800 XT (or equivalent Nvidia offer) today and be happy with that for years.

But I'm thinking of getting a 1440p screen because I'd like to have more screen space to work with (mostly for work stuff, if it were for gaming alone I'd just stay with my current display, and 4K is a bit much for me because I don't wanna mess with DPI scale, since I work with a lot of government-issued software that does NOT work well with DPI scale other 96 dpi/100% scale), so I'm probably gonna wait to see what GPUs AMD and Nvidia push out. I'll probably not buy a next gen one, if there's the (usual for here) price shenanigans (basically, new CPU and GPU generations release here at a much higher price than MSRP, regardless of stock availability). But I can wait a couple of monhs to see what's up with the local GPU market and make a decision. This RX 580 of mine still holds well enough for the stuff I play, it doesn't really bother me right now to keep going with it a little longer. Probably my best purchase ever since it lasted me 7 years of good usage and only now I'm seriously considering replacing it, despite the crazy stuff that has happened in the meantime with regards to game graphics and such
