one thing before I snuff it, its this:
Computer hardware,
ALL computer hardware, must conform to
the same industry standard.
To put it another way, what's the difference between a 20 euro basic motherboard and a 200 euro "gaming" motherboard?
Not much.
The basic mobo doesn't have a bunch of LEDs and stickers tacked onto it nor does it have a multi-million euro PR budget behind it to fuel the hype. Yet, both items must conform to the same standard.
In other words, the only real difference is what you paid out.
Remember, we're talking about digital electronics. It either works or it doesn't. If you really need flashing lights to distract you, buy a string of Christmas lights.
I mentioned before, I bought my current desktop about three years ago. I'm running a basic but fast (i3) desktop with a fan-less $40 GPU. Not counting a basic monitor, I have about $400 invested and its still running great with Win 10 64 bit.
If the desktop explodes tomorrow, I'm already ahead of the game.
So please, do me one favor and get past this notion of a "gaming computer".
