So, I played obsessively for about a month when it first came out, but when I went back to work after Christmas, I never really played it again. I originally played on a steam deck and now have a full fledged PC with an rtx 4060 . Oh my goodness, has it always been this beautiful??? It looks incredible. But also, I didn't realise it would essentially be "nah, we've moved on, catch up". I have no clue what is happening.

I bought a second hand pc from CeX for £62 after trading in my xbox (so overall "cost" £300 but I had my xbox for years and after game pass hiked in price, was only really playing one game on it). It had a Ryzen 5 5500GT, 32gb of DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD (basically only the OS), and (here's the kicker) a GTX 1050. The case also made the room smell of cigarettes the moment you turned it on. It could run things okay, I guess, but it wasn't great. Immediately decided to buy:

1TB SSD: £60

RX 4060: £250

750W PSU (I was planning for a 650W but it was only £10 more so thought why not): £75

APNX v1 Case: £60 (on sale for half price)

Overall spent just over £500 on it and it performs incredibly well. I play on my TV anyway so it's never gonna go beyond 60fps 1080p. I can comfortably play basically anything I would ever want on high at minimum and I am thrilled. Compared to what it was, it feels like a beast.
