Yeah, I'm cool for that - All part of the meticulous research I was complaining about earlier in the thread lol

Its kinda progressed more to a matter of future proofing. I'm coming from (and still keeping) an iMac, which is 10 years old and never was that powerful. Couldn't play a game on it even if I wanted to... So this PC is gonna be for fun. Dunno what Im gonna use it for exactly just yet, but when I do think that I want to do something with it - Play the latest game, plug in a VR headset, etc etc, at least I'm gonna be able to do it.
Even with my hobby of retro gaming, which is traditionally done on underpowered equipment like raspberry pies etc, I constantly keep running into things that I Can't quite do properly, because the performance isn't quite there...
With this new PC whatever I decide to do, it should be capable
Thats why Im getting a gaming keyboard and mouse etc... I may only ever use it as a normal keyboard and mouse, but if I fire up a game to play, at least I've got the proper equipment to play with. I won't be fumbling around on an apple keyboard etc... Might even get one of those logitech wheel and pedal thingys for driving games as well... The poosibilitys are endless
