Sick new PC build for my wife Amy. Since 2019 she was using a pretty cool Alienware R9 PC but it was starting to have trouble keeping up with newer games like Hogwarts Legacy at max settings. She wanted to make an upgrade but not spend a lot like with the Alienware. So I offered to make some upgrades like with the GPU and RAM. Well then suddenly the big RAM shortage crisis hits earlier this year, and I'm out making some deals buying and selling pieces of her old computer for upgrades. I flipped her RTX 2070 and purchased a newer RTX 3070 as a replacement. I also sold off her old pair of 16 gig RAM for an upgraded RGB set at 32 gigs. Here's where the problem hits, alienware motherboards are particularly selective of what parts they will allow, even parts as simple as a case fan. Long story short there was no way we could reuse the alienware so a custom build with a new case was really all we could do. One of my friends was kind enough to donate a motherboard and spare power supply he had just laying around in his parts bin for this build. With that I was able to also transition from Intel to an AMD CPU. So now my wife has this fully decked out dual screen command center of a PC for playing The Sims, Dead by Daylight, and Hogwarts Legacy. Also at the request of my wife it had to have a Bluray burning drive and card reader. How else will she play classic Windows 98 CD games on this thing and transfer them to her Steamdeck? Plus I only shorted out and fried a HDD, RGB controller, and the RGB fans once during this build. I am a little rusty, the last time I did a PC build was 2011. I'm so glad I game on my Mac, instead of suffering through hardware builds, I just suffer through compatibility layers and getting Windows games like Age of Empires II Definitive Edition to run on my M1 Mac.

LucasArts probably released more Star Wars games in 1999-2000 than EA has from 2015-2025.
