[HELP]Tired of laptops, thinking about building a PC but loadshedding stops me

It has been 7 years since i used a desktop PC. Because of loadshedding i have been using laptops to do everything - work, gaming and whatever.

The thing is, laptops are expensive and not great value for money. I have an expensive laptop but it only runs COD black ops 4 on the lowest settings. I don't want to splurge 1 lakh+ for a laptop.

I have an old gaming PC lying around which can certainly be revitalized to play modern games.

It has a Phenom 955 processor which should be adequate? But that's not the point of this post.

How do you guys run your desktop PCs even though there's loadshedding?

I'm interested to know what kind of setups you're using. If you've coupled a UPS with the system, i'm curious to know how that works.

Thanks for the advice.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
