Sounds like a worthwhile wait!

Ended up snagging a 60"x30" desk, with a bookshelf underneath, in great shape for $10 off Craigslist. $10! The same guy also had a 71x24 + 71x21 L-shaped hardwood maple desk listed for $50, but I wouldn't have had a way to transport it, unfortunately. College surplus Craigslist deals are...

I don't watch Linus. lol. The GPU is the most important part (to most people) of the graphics card - so people often refer to their graphics card as "gpu" for the sake of convenience. Sorry this upsets you because people didn't do it 25 years ago

the terms "GPU" and "graphics card" are used interchangeably to refer to the same thing. GPU is just faster to type and say. stop looking so far into it

I'd be using it for occasional GIS processing in ArcPro. I'm pretty happy with my setup now (5600 + rx 6600) but I have another build I could use those parts in while upgrading my CPU in this build and the GPU in the other (which currently has a 1660ti in it)

I've recently come across a couple listings for a secondhand i7 12700kf for $140 and an XFX RX 6600 for $100. How well would these pair together? I'm currently running a Ryzen 5600; how noticeable of an uplift would performance be between these two CPUs? I don't really play any super-demanding...

You may want to turn down the resolution of the monitor while gaming, for performance's sake

I have a little $35 Deepcool AK400 and it does wonders for what it is. AIO is an option, but I dont think you need to spend extra on one

Kingdom Two Crowns has been a lovely little game

Any other suggestions? Ikea doesnt seem to offer delivery for their countertops and the nearest store is 100 miles away, so that might not be the best option

I dig that setup

Thanks man, I never knew this was an option haha. Pretty cool

That sounds interesting, I might give it a go. Is it as simple as just screwing the legs into the laminate, no extra modifications needed?

I'm in the market for a medium-sized computer desk, preferably between $100-200, but I'm not really sure where to look. I've browsed around Wayfair a lot, but have some worries about their quality. Any recommendations, or good experiences with Wayfair purchases? Hoping to keep the new desk alive...

that lineup looks sick, thanks for linking
