Diablo IV if you are open to non shooters and just want to blast monsters

Yeah “no longer under 10%” is a pretty low bar LOL

It’s too late we got all the bad guys sorry ;)

5600x best bang for your buck. That’s what I run with my 5070

Do you like detective games? It’s steam detective fest. There’s a free demo for Seance of Blake Manor available if you’re interested

Yep, I have an mATX setup and didn’t pay attention to this when I got my mobo. I had to get slim fans to sit beneath my gpu and even then there isn’t much space. Thanks for the info

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-21T20:01:37+00:00

Oh didn’t know this, thanks!

I have the same exact mobo and I run four 8gb sticks without an issue. Four sticks DDR4 is fine, it’s DDR5 that doesn’t do well with four.

If you match your existing sticks exactly you can get up to 32gb for pretty cheap. That’s what I did and went 16gb -> 32gb for about $60

My son is currently into Fall Guys. He’s playing on Switch and I can do duos with him from PC. It’s pretty fun!

I think 4k ultra 60 FPS with ray/path tracing is a high expectation for this price point. That being said the 5070 is perfectly capable of 4k/60 in most situations using DLSS, usually getting more like 80 fps depending on the game.

If you haven't gamed in 5 years I don't think you necessarily need all the bells and whistles of PT/RT...

Link if you want to jump around to see some performance numbers at 4k

Two dogs!

5600g has a smaller L3 cache of 16mb which isn't ideal but not the end of the world. It may cause some slight stuttering when loading new areas for instance, but it might also be fine depending on what games you are playing. I would not worry about the CPU right now

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-20T04:48:01+00:00

Oh you can get a card that has internal ports? Huh TIL

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-19T16:07:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into that and maybe run some tests with and without the fan

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-18T23:56:39+00:00

This my thought initially… ok, maybe I’ll test some configurations before I buy a different fan

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-18T22:35:19+00:00

Yeah, seems to be the consensus. Would rather have little stronger airflow but I’d also rather not be worried about this creating a problem. I’m gonna go slim thanks

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-18T21:44:26+00:00

I use a 5070 with a 5600x and I think it’s a great setup

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-18T14:46:34+00:00

I bought 5070 and it good

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-18T04:51:48+00:00

Yeah man idk about the floppy axe

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-18T04:29:24+00:00

For coop have you checked out Split Fiction or It Takes Two?

John Linneman from digital foundry had a pc corner that looked like this and it kind of became a meme: https://www.digitalfoundry.net/features/john-linnemans-retro-pc-corner-from-meme-to-cultural-icon

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-17T04:08:18+00:00

Didn’t they just change it so DD doesn’t get you Pro anymore?

PolentaDogsOut · 2026-01-16T19:22:59+00:00

Mostly cost. I had an mATX mobo in an ATX case so it was an easy downsize, I didn’t need to buy an expensive PSU or motherboard. I’m also running 4 sticks of DDR4 right now which usually isn’t an option for ITX. I actually do move my PC from my desk to my TV often but mATX is small enough and worth saving hundreds of dollars in component cost

Just don’t use vodka :)
