It's strange, I never had any real issues with Vista. But the moment Win7 RC1 was available I was all over it. If it was 2008 I had a Core 2 Quad Q6600, 4gb of Ram and I think that was the year I replaced my 7900 GS with a 4870, I got that card a few weeks after it launched. I remember I was kind of miffed that Brad chose a GTX 260 for the office PC and not a 4870...they were strange times.

Don't buy a 6600, it's just not a very good card for the money. Final Fantasy may not be new, but it's definitely far from the lightest MMO out there, I think the next expansion is coming with some visual enhancements so that will make a difference with performance. Get a 6600 XT at a minimum, unless the 6600 XT is priced more than $50 more than the 6600.

The CPU and motherboard combo is fine, personally I prefer full size ATX builds. You won't be adding any cards beyond your GPU(Maybe a capture card) but some of these new cards are getting awfully chonky which could get tight in your MATX case. Also the 5600 comes with a cooler, the UX 100 will perform similarly or worse and that's not going to be much of help to you in the long run. You could spend the extra cash on a X670 and 7600X, but at that point you're also spending extra on the board, DDR5 and it WILL require a decent cooler that I promise you won't be $16. Personally I wouldn't recommend it as for gaming that money would be better spent on a better GPU.

Side notes, the amount of storage and the PSU is also kind of anemic.

I'm okay with modernization, I'm just not okay with how the conversation typically devolves into "Oh no, they're going to make Sam okay with gay stuff and give him purple hair!?". It's beyond grating at this point, and I hate listening to people who think the pinnacle of political commentary in art is "Oh they gave that one Lady a girlfriend and they KISS at one point".

I'm just so tired watching people debate things they have either zero understanding or skin in, I hate a game failing being left at the feet of "Woke" like it's some kind of magical umbrella and negatively impacts everything in a game from design to QA. At this point I would rather they just make this remake, release it and just not discuss small details of what they plan on doing with its story. I'm just so tired, it's eating away at me at this point and personally I think it would be better if everyone just shut up for a while.

I bought the shylily shirt from gamersupps, had no idea they were a vtuber. So I watched forty minutes of a stream, and it’s not for me.

There is something incredibly off putting about her coming online, and then seeing three donations immediately detailing how they brighten their days and how beautiful they are. It’s just super weird, streaming in general is super weird, I don’t like it.
