Cool stuff.

I finally have the PC I've always wanted, and it doesn't come close to yours.
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 4-Core 3.2 Ghz
8 Ghz RAM
Radeon RX 560

Like you, I don't see myself ever having a game that will tax that. I only mention it at all because I seem to have made one mistake. I've compared Windows 10 and 8.1 in the past, and a couple of the programs I use prefer 8.1, to the point of not working well with 10 at all. I had the option to downgrade to 8.1, but after doing so I discovered that MS seems to have made a deal with both Intel and AMD, so that none of the newest processors work with anything other than Win 10. It's frustrating to realize that I could have had an older Athlon processor that cost less, would still be more than I needed, and would work with 8.1.

My main reason for posting is to make sure everybody knows about that little problem.
