Pool usual takes my time.The current machine has a Ryzen 5 3600 &#8211; yes i am an AMD fanboy.  32 gigs of ddr4 ram and about 4tb of space.  I use Steam the most to launch my games.   However, my gaming pc is in the study and i play &#8220;remotely&#8221; from my notebook in the upstairs bedroom.  With my wireless 6E access points, I have no real problem playing this way.   I have a dedicated access point that I only use just for gaming &#8211; any other wireless devices uses a different wireless access point  &#8211; I have 3 wireless access points in the house.   Steamlink and moonlight are installed on my bedroom laptop and I connect via wireless to my game machine.   With port forwarding and my new router, i can play games remotely.. say from a starbucks in Ohio &#8211; of course this depends on a lot of factors.   Now the actually upgrade was a processor, but after installing I noticed that the machine was getting a little worm.   The new CPU is a ryzen 5 5600x3d &#8211; only from a visit to our &#8220;not so local&#8221; Microcenter in Dallas.  This CPU is really just a gaming cpu, kind of budget, mostly for 1080p high fps games &#8211; but does get warm.  So, updates where a new cpu fan, and new case with better &#8220;air flow&#8221; &#8230;and a total rebuild of my OS, why not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PC in parts&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.193\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/parts.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The complete project&#8230;  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/black-fractal-design-focus-2-atx-mid-tower\/p\/N82E16811352193?Item=N82E16811352193\">Fractal Design Focus 2 for $39<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.193\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/case-1024x745.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do game on occasion, but I normally don&#8217;t play that much.
