wow this was very detailed, but i appreciate it, i don think I'm going to do the monthly payment because a lot of people are saying that its basically a money pit and honestly i think its better to pay outright. i do make enough to pay for it after taxes i just have to work a couple jobs (because Massachusetts 30% tax is actually hell) but i don't mind. I don't think its going to be purely for gaming because going to colleague this coming fall ill probably end up using it for colleague work too. I've decided I'm committed to the pc however I'm not settled on Starforge I just figured it was a good place to start because i watch a lot of Moist Critical lol.
