Now I wanna say real quick that I LOVE PC building but at the same time when I build one I like to stick with it for at least 4 maybe 5 years. My first PC I ever made back in 2017 has finally ran its course and I'm now putting him in early retirement. Specs weren't anything special but the GTX 1660ti was a little beast and perfectly satisfied my needs for the time. And yes obviously I don't "need" to spend a whole bunch of money to build a PC but at the same time I want the best I can possibly get in the current market. I'm also aware there's no such thing as the "perfect" gaming PC. No problems with that, I just want the best I can possibly get and last me for a really long time.
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using?
To make a framerate/graphics master for any type of game I throw at it. Whether its first person shooters, rpgs, or even emulators I just want to build something that "while not perfect" can handle at the very least 80% of gaming tasks.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
No budget because I'm insane. Money is no object for this project.
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note?
Right away. I desperately wanna play some Endwalker and Final Fantasy VII Remake
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget?
Everything and anything. Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/headset/microphone/recording software/chair/desk/speakers/mousepad/etc
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?
I live in the USA in the state of Ohio and I will be making my purchases on whatever site has the items needed. Also I do have a Microcenter in my state.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated
My daddy always taught me variety is the spice of life especially when it comes to PC gaming. I want 0 duplicates or reusing brands/models I want the best of the best from everyone's respective origins.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
Nah. Overclocking was never really my thing as the games I've played don't really require it. Least I don't think, regardless no Overlocking for me.
**Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the b

Never had an issue with clinkers. This year there ends up being a solid layer of clinkers in the fire pot after only 2 bags burned or so. Usually I only need to clean out the fire pot after burning 3 bags, but this year it won’t light after 2 because it’s so compacted with clinkers.
We had our stove serviced earlier this month and mentioned the clinkers to him, and he said he heard from another customer that they are having trouble with Golden Fire pellets this year as well.
Anyone else having issues with Golden Fire pellets?
Hello all, I have a 1961 wood skiff with some soft spots on the bottom hull planking.
The boards aren't mush or completely gone just a few soft spots here and there, I had the boat in the water and used it last year.
The spots are where the bottom edge of my bottom plank meets the keel , the boat is clinker planked.
I think the previous owner let leaves and debris collect along the bottom and it kept water from draining when the boat sat on the trailer without a cover.
Rest of my planking is pretty solid, solid enough to get through a season of light use I believe.
I was thinking of resawing mahogany strips the width of the exposed portion of the bottom plank and epoxying them over the bottom plank as if I was veneering it. I figured if I resawed them to 1/8" thick or so they wouldn't alter the hull too much but provide a nice hard skin over the soft spots. Replanking is not in the cards this year.
I would of course sand the area to bare wood to get 'veneered' before I epoxied anything on.
Any thoughts? This is not a rare, collectible, or special boat just a garden variety wood runabout.
