 New PC - Crankcase
Thanks Smokie.

Ok, good to know the SSDs are ok - I thought I could add a spinny drive or two later if needed. A huge chunk of the cost is going to be the graphics card of course. I'd go up to a 3090, but they are sitting at about 2k for that alone! Not that you can get one.

Don't need wifi, but well spotted.

USBs are 3.1 and 3.0, they don't offer 4 on anything I can see. I didn't know 4 existed until now! But I only have 3.0 discs on them anyway at the moment.

Yes, I think the base spec is 1.4k. They start their machines at about £500, but I think such a thing wouldn't run at a better frame rate than I have already, so you need to up everything for games. Even this one at 2.5k isn't enough for maxed out 4k gaming, so lucky I'm not into 4k gaming! Probably be another £1000 for the monitor alone if I were.

It's all because my little man in No Man's Sky doesn't run around quickly enough really.
