I just accepted another job, and gave notice at this one. I'm contractually obligated to give them 8 weeks notice, but since I'm going to a competitor, they're asking me to work 2 then paying me to sit at home for 6.

As a result, I think I need to buy a new PC. I built this one in 2015, and have hardly used it in the past 3 years. 6 weeks is a good amount of time to go through... something. Cyberpunk? BG3? No clue.

I was just looking at pretty extreme builds, but I don't touch it enough. I think I'm going to try to go for a $1300-$1500 build. There's a Microcenter near me, which helps a lot.

Since you no longer game like a teenager I would dump the 4090 for a 4070 ti super, saving ~$800.
I don’t know what else I’d trim from the extreme build.

I'm thinking 7800x3d and 4070 super. Can do the whole thing approximately $1500.
