I would have suggested to look for AMD Ryzen as you can save a substantial amount of money and use that to get liquid AIO cooler, but its a new architecture and from all the reviews i am seeing its not a bad chip but needs some time to mature. Intel on the other hand is a very safe bet and apparently intel have reduced their prices to compete with Ryzen so you might get a better deal now.

Since you plan on buying an unlocked SKU, it would be better to opt for liquid cooling either a custom setup or an AIO cooler, would help you maintain a stable overclock if the need arises.

Not entirely sure on the purpose of two SSDs, i personally would have gone with a single SSD and a 4TB hard drive but maybe you are planning a RAID0 setup or some thing like that.

I would just like to recommend to get 2 2TB hard drives or a 1TB and 2TB one instead of a single 3TB because hard drives get damaged easily. I have faced much hassle due to this.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    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!
