With a budget already defined I'd look at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ and see what you can build to meet your needs.

That's one problem i don't know what to pick :D, i.e. what sort of graphics card would i need to get 60+fps on new versions of CoD or Counter Strike?
-
Um, well you'd have to look at what the games you're thinking you'd play for system minimum and recommendations and then go from there.
That website does a pretty good job of outlining the best part for the money you're spending.
-
Here's a very quick budget compatible build without the best of the best parts.
-
You could of course maybe save some of that money and install Linux as the OS instead, but you'd have to verify the games you want to play are supported.
Since you said this is for gaming, Microsoft Windows really owns that market....

Speaking of which, anyone still testing proton? I wonder how it's doing
-
@DustinB3403 Yeah need to research what games and the best graphics cards to use, then monitor and see what I can afford after that
-
Found this site
https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/game-based-computers/Might use it as a base then see what i can build buying separate components

We need to stop selling phones, the profits from supporting RingCentral, Weave, and SpectrumVOIP users are so much higher.
Companies that use companies like you to do that - seem crazy!
But then again, the use of RC seem crazy too.
so - meh

@hobbit666 Monitors can be tricky, I use a basic HP monitor that supports 1080p max, spent $200 on it.
Its a basic monitor and I don't need anything crazy with color correctness etc.
-
@hobbit666 The monitor is the easiest part (cost wise) since you're doing 1080 gaming. What you want to do is try to reduce costs in smart ways. The cooler that Dustin provided is probably not bad, but its also not 100% necessary either. This is more than enough and its a fraction of the cost: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
Just an example
-
Yeah I could've easily dropped the cooler for a basic heatsink and fan on it.
I stepped it up cause I wanted too lol....

sure but he can get more bang for his buck with a couple of tweaks to the list

I'm wondering why someone would replace an SSL cert on exchange and leave the old, expiring one in place but have pointed everything to use the new one......
Am I missing something that's using the old cert.....

What's the harm in leaving the old one? I mean, sure it's cruft, but does it break anything?

sometimes people do things out of habit rather than reaching a logical conclusion. just part of being human

It generates alerts that we're forced to act on.

@DustinB3403 slowly raises hand Guilty of doing that myself

Hanging out with @Texkonc on a call

is it just me or does the use of emoji's in professional emails annoy anyone else ?
