Thread: I ordered a new computer today.

Pros: It's future proof I guess, and no one in PCMR can call you a peasant

Cons: Way overkill, you spent too much, etc etc. What do you ever need 32GB of RAM for? Did you use the 24 you had? Sheesh.

Enjoy it though, if it makes you happy it makes you happy. Always fun to get a new rig!

Actually, I occasionally max out my RAM usage. I'm on my PC 10+ hours every day with work, and often have close to 80 different programs/windows open at any given time.

I run off 3 monitors right now. I'm planning on slowly replacing them with 4k screens. I don't plan on gaming across all of them at once, so the single GTX 980 Ti should be plenty of power for that.

I also plan on pre-ordering the Oculus Rift tomorrow. VR is a gimmick, but it looks like a fun gimmick, and after play-testing Eve Valkyrie a couple years ago, I'm sold on said gimmick.
