After not having a runnable pc for about 2+ years, I've finally broke down to buy one instead of building my own from scratch.
So here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883272180
I haven't dug around pc parts for the longest time, so I had to relearn what I previously knew plus more. Before I started looking for PCs, I had no frigging clue what a SSD was, or how it will considerably speed up my load times. I've never used Windows 10 before, so I'm a little bit nervous about trying it. When I first looked at it I swear it only had 8gb RAM, it's really all I need I think. 16gb is just a bonus.
The graphics card I had much trouble finding satisfaction with. The one I had in mind was (and I'm gonna butcher this) Radeon RX 480 8gb. I guess I can always upgrade later down the line, however the R9 380 4gb should hopefully be fine. Really, the only major games that will be played on it are all the Sims games for my girlfriend, emulators up to PS2 and Wii, and games through Steam apparently, which is also gonna be a new thing for me.
Wish I could have gone with a different color besides red on the case, but at least it'll match my N3DSXL. Another thing that stuck out to me in one of the reviews was that Win10 comes installed on the HDD and the the SSD, so if anybody who happens to reads this knows of a safe, reliable way to migrate Win10 from my HDD to SSD just in case would be really helpful and I will thank you kindly.
I may just make a follow up blog for how everything goes. I'm ordering it as early as tomorrow. I just hope it comes with all of its pieces. I'm excited as fuck.
