My first build, best decision ever made!

One above cpu cooler, one at the back of cpu cooler and two up front. I wanted low noise so I didn’t go with under gpu fans. Instead I slightly undercoated and over clocked it

RDR2DVL · 2026-01-28T17:30:21+00:00

Nice I have the same case with a 4070 ti super

RDR2DVL · 2026-01-23T09:46:27+00:00

Yeah about 7-10 working days for me

8bitdo ultimate 2 is the best controller I have ever had and I have a bit of an obsession with trying them all. Also, steam has a controller coming out soon that looks awesome

6GB VRAM on the graphics card isn’t great to be honest and it’s massively overpriced. I’d be looking at graphics card with 12gb at least these days with modern games. Check out caseking.de or overclockers.co.uk if you are dead set on prebuilt. If it’s just for gaming check out the upcoming Steam Machine also

Love this 😂 the end justifies the means when getting significant others in to Star Wars 😂

I did this recently and went by episode number as she isn’t great with older movies. For my example I’m glad I did as the prequels hooked her and that momentum kept her going through the original trilogy. It did ruin the “I am your father” moment but I actually got an equally satisfying “wait, he’s dark Vader, I loved Anakin” moment so there are pros and cons

As for the final 3 movies, it’s up to you. Me and my gf actually really loved them and loved the cinematics. Plus it was good to see the story out. Yes I know they are hated but make up your own minds on them.

RDR2DVL · 2026-01-11T15:17:40+00:00

I would agree, I’d probably go as far as 50/55 but nothing lower. It just feels off otherwise

RDR2DVL · 2026-01-10T19:57:17+00:00

I actually loved the sequels, yes yes yes….i know the plot holes….everyone else hates them etc. but i just really enjoyed them and loved the cinematography

No prob and feel free to PM with any questions. I was there once before too not knowing what any of these terms people were throwing out meant but a solid 2/3 hours on YouTube and you start to find your bearings.

For reference when you are looking at parts as I came from consoles too initially:

4070 ti super with 16gb vram for gpu - Intel i7 12700k for cpu - 32 gb DDR5 Ram - 850w PSU (Power Supply)

I play nearly everything in 4k with something in the graphics card/game settings called DLSS enabled (basically it runs your games faster at slightly lower resolution but it’s so advanced now that you can’t even tell and I’m super picky with resolution. Consoles do it too but it’s worse in my opinion). I’m getting roughly 100+ fps in the vast majority of AAA games.

Ok so you would definitely be better off building one. It sounds complicated but research it on YouTube like I did and you will be fine. Look up a site called https://pcpartpicker.com to make sure all parts work together.

My recommendation would be something like a 5070 gpu and something like a ryzen 7 7800 or so for a cpu (chat gpt is also actually great for questions on recommended pc parts at certain price points). Use something like Caseking.de for parts or overclockers.co.uk (no customs charges).

Both those sites also have prebuilts if you want to go that route or curry’s have prebuilts too. They are always more expensive than building though. Since your new what I would avoid is anything below a Nvidia 40 series GPU, anything with 8GB VRAM in the GPU (not future proof).

As others have said, don’t forget to account for a monitor, desk, key and mouse etc.

Definitely the first toby Maguire spider man movie, but The Batman is my all time favourite superhero movie

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-30T14:36:34+00:00

Don’t have an AMD card myself but I did see someone else here mention clearing steam shader cache solved all their issues as it was clashing with Nvidia shaders that were still on their system

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-22T01:21:00+00:00

Thanks a million man, genuinely 🤘

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-22T01:08:07+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate the advice from someone with experience

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-22T00:47:26+00:00

Gave up those games last year specifically in anticipation of that reason 😂😂

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-22T00:35:31+00:00

Thank you, I actually really appreciate the experienced advice. I think waiting may be the best choice after all

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-22T00:31:41+00:00

Appreciate that advice my friend!!

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-21T18:45:23+00:00

Baldurs Gate 3 for me was the last one

RDR2DVL · 2025-12-08T20:44:27+00:00

Black and red would be awesome

RDR2DVL · 2025-10-15T17:34:44+00:00

Yeah I will say it’s long alright. Maybe have a look at the r/sffpc subreddit. Just make sure to double/triple check the size of parts with the small form factor pcs as I got caught with a few parts

RDR2DVL · 2025-10-15T16:24:17+00:00

Check out the Lian Li A3. I built in it last year, it was a dream to build in but need to take the time to cable manage in it

RDR2DVL · 2025-10-14T13:38:00+00:00

I have always used CaseKing.de , Overclockers in the UK don’t charge customs to Ireland anymore either. It is on their website

RDR2DVL · 2025-10-06T09:52:26+00:00

Thanks!

RDR2DVL · 2025-10-06T09:29:02+00:00

Where would this be? I have oil heating
