@Adysandu I'd like to keep in under £800 if I can. I have a 27" 4K UHD display already which I use for work with my MBP.
This is just for games. Perhaps also a media server at a push. 4k would be nice, but HD would be good too. Mostly strategy and city building type games.

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign @NZXT Well, we seem to be working on making it hard to viably trade with anyone.
I’d be mortified about how backward we are being if I hadn’t been stockpiling batteries and insulin in our underground bunker.

@davatron5000 @sambreed @andybelldesign @NZXT That sounds smart.
I bet it was a horrible feeling frying your CPU!! 😢

@stevecomrie @sarah_edo @Netlify And a ❤️ on twitter is the same as a formal, legally binding approval. Correct @sarah_edo and @biilmann?
(and thanks ever so!)

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign @NZXT Very tempted here.. but US and CA only as it turns out. But still a great reference.

@robcresswell @sil Right?! But it is absolutely a thing.

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign Did I recall seeing a photo of a gorgeous PC you have built with snazzy yellow cable/piping?
Or was that just the dream I had that started this whole adventure.

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign ha ha ha.
Sure, when I run npm, I bring out the big guns.
Thanks Uncle Dave. This is most helpful.

@sil The flamboyant visual nerdery down this rabbit hole has come as a bit if a surprise to me. Glass cases and colour coordinated cabling, and visible liquid cooling with coordinated rgb led lighting...
oh my!
oh my!

@stevecomrie @davatron5000 @andybelldesign Heh. So many games available on Steam juuuust about run on my 2017 MBP (which is more than adequate for all my other needs).
It's so disappointing.

@stevecomrie Oh good idea.
Dear @sarah_edo, please can you arrange for @Netlify to buy me a top of the range gaming PC so that I can more efficiently talk to you on Slack?
Nothing fancy. Just something like this:

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign 1. Would love to be mobile, but happy to go desktop.
2. Just for gaming. I use my MPB with a nice 4k LG monitor for work, and PS4 for some games. But have resigned myself to never being able to play good city building / strategy games on my MBP.

@kr8n3r It never occurred to me that external GPU was an option.
Hmmm. Another option to research.

@bhenbe Ha. I've never actually played WoW.
I was mildly obsessed with Warcraft 2 once upon a time though.

@yorksworths Decision made. Now, where did I leave that cassette player...?

@phunkren Thanks Andrew! So you'd say worth building rather than buying pre-built? (I prefer the idea of a project and future upgradability TBH)

@stevecomrie Yeah, I want to try to stay well below that. This will not be a work machine, but purely for gaming. Which is likely to be more demanding that the requirements I have for work, but harder to justify big bucks.

@stevecomrie Thanks Steve. This is helpful. I'm noticing that one can spend anywhere for £300 to £1000000000 and I'm very out of touch.
