@kensanata I bought/put together one a couple of years ago: Core i5-8400, 32 GB RAM, 250 GB nvme and a 2 TB hard drive for data. For games I bought an Nvidia 1660 Ti last year (had a 1050 before that) to play Wolfenstein II on max settings. It was also necessary for Cloudpunk, which I played earlier this summer. I play most games under Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) and rarely reboot to Windows; a lot of stuff works pretty much out of the box on Linux.

I meant to use the desktop for everyday work, not just games. I work with Python and Go (trying Elixir), and Python’s the only one that doesn’t automatically benefit from the six processor cores. (Emacs, too, but that’s a given.) My current problem is finding the time to speed up email processing using bogofilter because the gnus way is s-l-o-w.

I stopped writing Android apps a while ago, so it turned out to be overkill for all my other needs. Still, it should last me the better part of a decade, give or take component failures. The only upgrade I anticipate is replacing the hard drive with an SSD if/when they fall in price.
