Sounds a lot like you guys are addicted to gaming and are suffering from burnout. Personally, I took a good three month break from playing games completely and my main media consumption was music, anime and tv shows/movies. I've started working through my backlog again and found enjoyment playing through the games I bought and only played for an hour or two. Self control and discipline are key factors in managing addictions. Lately I've been playing Hitman, Dishonored, Persona and Fallen Order. I have around 100 games in my library and have only played a few of them more than an hour, so I've been working on the games I already own instead of buying new ones.

Milk not being an option makes this poll worthless. Dark roast with a bit of milk is peak coffee experience.

Congrats @Gentoo @TheZZL @Case! Keep up the good work.

This is what you're looking for. It has pretty decent reviews and some tech channels have videos about it. It fits your specs and budget pretty well.

@gween @Trazz congrats boys, good work.

@Ned bring back Ned Diddly Flanders. @BoM @Greggy G congrats on the promos boys.

Posted my specs earlier in the spec thread but I'll post them here again anyways. 2700x @4.15GHz 16GB RAM @3200 MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC 250GB 960 Evo NVME 2TB Seagate Baracudda 1TB Crucial MX 500 for games 8 GB Sapphire Pulse 5700xt @ 2000mhz Acer Nitro 27" 1080p 144hz monitor Dell 23.4" 1080p 60hz monitor [ATTACH=CONFIG]21419[/ATTACH]

@Trazz @Arctic @Kieran congrats gay boys.

It's a meme, people think you're a pussy if you get the v6 version of a pony car. They're lighter than v8s, so a little more fun to throw around. However, getting a sports car as your first car is like getting a Rolex or Grand Seiko as your first watch. A good first car is an economy shitbox, something simple and reliable with good gas mileage. Used civic's/accords and corollas are very good options for a first daily driver.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]21375[/ATTACH] Posting an udpate as I've refreshed my PC. CPU is OC'd to 4.15, and GPU is OCd to 2000mhz with memory at 1850. Next step for the rig is custom cables.

A stripped vehicle won't even pass a state or county required safety inspection, so yes. However, driving a modified vehicle on closed courses and tracks is perfectly legal as long as the track follows the necessary laws and has insurance. Most people that do these kinds of things are actually fairly adamant about following the laws, or do them during off times late at night when there's less risk involved.

Congrats boys and welcome to the team! [video=youtube_share;-1qju6V1jLM] @Kopsta @Noxstar @Bright @BoM Gj on the promos.

People keep crying about how easy it is to be killed, when Ts have a 90% win rate. Our CTs are already underpowered and adding more rules to nerf them just doesn't make sense. The current rule is fine as it is in my opinion.

Sorry, should've been more specific. This is the part that people tend to overspend on the most. People buy R7 or i7+ when they would've been fine with a lower tier chip or buy an X/K series when they don't plan on overclocking. It's really where you can save the most money, but for beginners it's easy to be drawn in by the high core count/clock speeds. Ryzen comes with a perfectly adequate stock cooler, and you can even OC with it. [video=youtube_share;0JRY0Ri2VoM]

For gaming, CPU upgrades are the part with the biggest impact of a budget. 6c/12t is fine for gaming at 144hz and light multitasking. The difference between a $200 and $300 cpu (at least for gaming) is negligible. Also, MSI's MAX motherboards come updated to support ryzen 3000 out of the box.

$200 motherboard with a 212evo and 1660 ???? B450 boards support Zen 2 and B550 is right around the corner.
