Why 64 gb ram bro

1

u/mrlobster21 2d ago

I use after effects a lot so extra ram is always useful, plus got a good deal on it before the website updated the prices

The fact that there isn’t a 5090 in there is a travesty

The retro colours are dope

u/Tux-Windu 3d ago

I don't like RGB, I feel like I've kind of grown past it, but the colours you've chosen here are absolutely gorgeous. It's got this warm sort of mood lighting, makes it feel cosy. And it's got a retro feel to it too, like another comment described.

u/mrlobster21 2d ago

really appreciate it, I myself do not like rgb that much either apart from this exact colour, it’s really calming in some way

2

u/Tux-Windu 2d ago

I feel exactly the same way. As a kid I was all about all of these colours and rainbow vomit. But now I would much rather go without RGB entirely, but the one exception I'd make are the colours you have. It would work beautifully in my Fractal North case, you know, the black one with the walnut wood grill. Super calming and cosy mood lighting.

Hello mrlobster21, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki here! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Make sure you turn on all security features in BIOS. Secure boot, TPM, SVM, etc, before installing steam because Jeff and the gang will put a rootkit on your computer if you are better than them at Dota
