I Purchased a gaming PC for $2,000 a couple of years ago, and since then I've been spent over $5,000 upgrading all the hardware with nothing but the best.
Upgraded CPU to an Intel I-9
The GPU to an Invidia GTX 3080ti
The Ram to 64 GB DDR5
Power supply up to Corsair high performance RM1000
Added an Samsung 990 pro 2TB SSD PCI GEN 4x4 NVME to already the install 500GB PCI which only has Windows 11 installed
Also has 2TB Internal M-2. Your not needing any space for a while. I have around 6 games that take up 150GB each, and then another 125 game from Steam installed, and Ime not even close to running out of space.
I'm over 60, and my hands cramp to the point I can't game anymore.
