If you want to bend it a bit and see how much strain you can really put on it, for free, download Planetside 2. That'll show you how much grunt you have in a live, proper battle scenario.
I'll probably get the Gamepass too, it's insane value.
The flower is a nice touch, did your boyfriend get it for you?
You're still playing Planetside 2? I remember checking that out with you a loooong time ago.
I think you just need to upgrade your GPU. That CPU is fine for gaming. 16 RAM is plenty for gaming. GPU and you're good to go. Just make sure your PSU can handle whatever GPU you decide to get.
You should put up the link and stuffs on what program to use to compare, etc. Although, my PC gets hot as it is, this will probably blow my electrics the way my friggin' tests go!
I'm down to test mine to see where I'm at, maybe push it a bit, but it runs fine for my needs, so I don't want to stress it for no reason.
What programs are we using, what all are we testing? Sorry, I've never gotten into benchmarking stuff much.
Spend the bulk of your budget for the PC on the GPU for gaming. Then, spend a hefty amount on the CPU, that will help with gaming and your photography.
Some great updates in there Dave @Plumbers Crack, looking fantastic and a massive difference to what you had 😍 Loving the subtle things like usb sockets (you're making me think i should invest in these) and also love the RGB on your stuff on top of the table too.
Extra bonus points for having FG and 7 Days up on your pics...and also having your beloved FG mug sitting there in all its glory 😎
I've been wanting to do the USB sockets for a while now as well. I just know that as soon as I install them, some fancy new tech will come along and make them irrelevant. lol
She really loved my mechanical keyboard at home though, so that's why I'm leaning toward that. I'll take a look at the Steelseries Apex 100 though. Thank you. She works in her own office area away from everyone else, the noise wouldn't be an issue for her. I'll definitely give the Steelseries a look though. Thanks, Dave.
My wife has crap keyboards and mice in her office at work. She hates them. She loves working on my computer because I've got a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth keyboard and Logitech G203 mouse. These aren't the top of the line but they're much nicer than her office stuff.
I want to buy her a nice keyboard and mouse for her office. I don't want it to look like a gamer setup, just nice looking office stuff. It needs to be a mechanical keyboard, similar to mine in function. It's got to have the number keyboard on the side. The mouse just needs to have a scroll wheel and a couple of side thumb buttons. It needs to look nice and professional.

WTF, lol. Yeah, I'm still rollin' with 10. I'd be on 7 still if I could, haha.
