Whats your excuse for not owning a gaming pc in 2018 Sup Forums?

Why would your grandparent send you RAM if you don't even have a pc

I know people meme about the price but it really is so much cheaper.

If like 99 percent of people you own a shitty pc for normal use put a $100 gpu into it, if it's a laptop spend an extra $150 when you replace it.

Online on consoles will come to $200 if you get it on sale/more realistically $350 alone.

>What do you want for your birthday user?
>I want this
It's not that hard.

it used to be before ram spiked 3x its normal price and buttcoiners hogged all the gpus.
>tfw 16gb of DDR4 ram costs asmuch as a new ps4 nowadays

>gaming PC

I lterally do not own anykind of PC at all. Have not done since about 2012.

>work wants me to watch some instructional videos online
>the website doesn't work on my android phone, it uses some Silverlight plug in shit
>have to go my dad's house and it won't even load properly in Firefox or Chrome
>Use IE works perfectly

I don't know why is shared that but I also don't own a PC. What a bullshit process why can't these old fags end PC.

>birthday presents
>telling people what to buy you

dumb phoneposters

>waaaaaaaaaaah someones literal non-purchase triggers me this hard

>work wants me to watch some instructional videos online

Good thing most business have computer access huh?

I like when people give me an idea of what they want, I'd rather give you something you want to use then something that you'll fake a smile for and will sit in your garage forever

I don't know what you mean but I don't have conventional workplace I work security. I can't just jack the receptionists PC or something. There's only like one PC in there.

Oh right, ok.

>bought gpu on cyber monday for 0% discount
>now worth over double what I bought it for
>bought ddr4 for 5% off, felt like I got raped at the time
>now worth half again as much as I bought it for

This world is fucking insane.

How the fuck do you do this?

I can understand not needing a desktop, but using a phonr/tablet takes so, so much longer to do anything. For normal internet browsing it's about 3x as slow and for something like writing a word document it's got to be over 10x slower.

>GPU is worth more than what I bout it for almost three years ago
>if I sell it I won't have a GPU, and who knows when prices will come back down

I do have one. Granted its a 6700k and 390x. But it gets the job done.
Only console I dont own is a Xbox One X. Isnt worth it.

>in 2018 Sup Forums
What do you mean? Do you feel Sup Forums's stance on PC gaming has drastically changed?

Not him but I don't do anything that requires a PC to do so. Like shit posting for instance.

bought it after thanksgiving last year, aka a bit over a month ago for $550

same card is going for north of a grand right now.

People outside of school typically don't need to write documents, and really only typing takes more time for shitposting on phones

I find this really hard to believe unless your a young child. Obviously you can do almost everything on a phone but it takes so stupidly long and hurts your arms/back after a few hours, there's so many things which are just awful on a phone

e.g. car/house shopping, tax, googling multiple things, writing up documents, streaming movies from dodgy websites, reading anything long on the internet, anything which involves multiple windows at the same time

I do own one though.

With great ease. Iphones are fast as fuck user. I do not miss PC’s at all. It doesn’t affect my office job, and it’s not about money i could probably afford 3 or 4 high end PC’s today if i really fucking wanted to.

Yes it's easier using a desktop for those things but it's really not that bad on a recent smart phone.

Because I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro. And those suck ass for gaming.

Well i don’t own a PC and i don’t struggle. Sounds like your problem user.

I can answer those, I'm security bro above.

>car/house shopping
I rent a basement suite, and I don't own a car
Confusing I don't own a car based on my work, but the bus system works fine.
>Tax
I pay someone else to do that
>Google
I'm literally running google.
>Streaming movies
Console
Oddly enough the use Shaddy sites on the edge browser
>reading anything long
Tru, but whatever

>He fell for the Apple meme

>I pay someone else to do that
you have investments?

I don't know a single person irl who doesn't own a laptop/desktop even if it's a piece of shit.

Why stream from dodgy sites when you can download from them?
And about the multiple pages thing, pic related

Congratulations

My friend gave me all of his old parts, but he said theres some pieces missing that I have to get myself. The problem is, I’m too fucking retarded to figure out what else I need aside from a tower, keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

You just can't see anything on a phone normally, and when you put it into splitscreen it gets even worse.

>What do you want for your birthday user?
>nothing grandma, make me a cake, haha
that is how you should response, fucking kid

It's manchildren who don't do any of those

Ok? Am i seriously having to proove not owning a tool here? Sorry, i do not own a PC. If and when i need one i will, but right now my needs are met.

I'm not saying you're lying it just sounds very odd. When my pc broke and I had to resort to phone/xbox it was absolutely awful

See
You lost my on investments. I meant when it comes to do my taxes I pay someone else to do it. I have no idea what your getting at.

Seems fine to me

Those god damn manchildren not googling multiple things when will they grow up

Building right now would be retarded though.

CPUs are fucked, RAM prices are colluded and GPU prices are mined to the moon.

mobo
processor w heatsink/cooler
ram
hard drive
psu

boom, bootable cpu

add gpu for gayming
add case and fans with filters for dust protection
add hard drives for more porn space
add rgb lighting for more dicks in your ass

>demanding food
Spotted the amerifat

>CPUs are fucked
Keep drinking the kool aid

>phoneposters

Why would you buy an iphone if you have less than $10k in savings?

no, I am not.
My grandma was ukrainian, when she came here, she "learned" how cook and she lilked to make (awful) food.

>PC posters

If you don't have complex tax deductions, basic tax software is free and easy

in 23" screen that looks like shit

So what you are saying is that to build a gaming PC you have to rely on luck, competitions and friend's generosity. Wow getting a gaming PC sure dosn't look hard at all!

They absolutely are. Or do you want to claim Meltdown and Spectre aren't a thing?

Please understand that Google has no interest in cooperating with the NSA to cover things up. They want safe systems. If they're forced to release anything, they want to be able to hold back anything they can.

They get all the information anyways, legally and on a silver plate, so they're trying to shut all other avenues.

my 8700k is laughing at you

There's nothing new I want to play.

Oh so it's preference then. Ok

I'm laughing at you because you were dumb enough to buy an 8700k.
But I'm sure you found some amazing deal that wasn't a huge waste of money over the 8600k, and you totally have a usecase for 6c/12t high-clock.

read in that size in a 7" screen will hurt your eyes

Easy. I'm not an obnoxious fucking cunt and I can coexist with other players without falling for some superiority complex.
Fuck you and everyone that plays on PC.

I'm glad you found a way to feel superior without having a superiority complex. Enjoy it!

>I'm not an obnoxious fucking cunt and I can coexist with other players
>Fuck you and everyone that plays on PC.

>what are contract phones

dumbest post of the day

It's just hard for me to imagine someone that is in to video games enough to post on Sup Forums, yet has no interest in seeing them at max graphicz. Especially if you play shooters, they are amazing on PC compared to console

...

You really shouldn't be blowing money on gorillion dollar contracts if you're broke

>I can coexist with other players
>Fuck you and everone that plays on PC
>I'm not an obnoxious fucking cunt

actually really common, life isn't anime, user

to be fair, spending the extra $100 wasn't really a big deal for more threads

...

If you use it every day for gaming and other shit, why not invest in it?

$2000 two years ago, no need to upgrade yet (maybe quad channel ram)

Not him but I imagine physical buyers are still grappling to consoles for that reason.

It can be

1440/165 is the tits, user

I can't play xbox anymore. It stabs my eyes.

>>what are contract phones
>Ameicans actually get loans on phones

Any one else meet one of these specimens in real life. She was a real cunt.

>doesn't own a PC
>posts from an iPhone
like pottery

>give me nothing
>but give me something

>0% discount
what a saving

crypto miners ruined cyber monday

UK. I wanted unlimeted minutes text and internet and they said its two years for £25 and here is an iphone. I don’t mind it.

Some people are just bad user, it doesn’t have anything to do with her lack of skin pigment

o b s e s s e d

There is no point in upgrading from a 1080 to a 1080ti the difference is just not worthy for the prize so unless you have rich friends that part doesnt count.

Stay poor.

Stop trying so hard user. Its a communications device.

But im not. Its just easier for me.

While I couldn't imagine life without a desktop, I'm finding less and less incentive to upgrade frequently.

Do you own a paid off house or have over £200k in savings?

If not you really shouldn't be wasting money on unnecessary shit.

Give it up guy you are insufferable

Look I ain't him but most people choose contracts cuz they poor. Rich people buy phones outright without having to pay it off in monthly installments and buy new ones like candy without having to worry about a 2 year lock in.

That's why it's easier to buy android phones outright. Screw contracts.

Apple products are shitty normalfag bait products. It's always the dumb tech illiterates who use iPhones.

>desperately need a new GPU
>everything is out of stock and marked up 100%

honestly unironically considering buying a fucking console

I'm being serious it's just dumb and you should be thinking about your future. I know so many people irl who blow all their money on toys and live paycheck to paycheck, plan ahead a bit and you'll be richer than almost everyone.

never buy something you can't afford in cash, since it puts you at risk of losing it if you can't keep up with the payments. Exception to this is house which most people can't afford one without a mortgage.

Are you 15? Every fucking phone is the same shit.

Same. I had my toaster desktop for like 8 years. I need to get a new one because it died, otherwise I'd still be using it.

I'm not even the guy you were talking to I think phone contracts are a bad deal as well. But saying you shouldn't buy anything unnessecary unless you own a house is just stupid

This and it's so good,
my desktop have 6 years already and haven't shown any sign of slowing...the entire world moving to mobile was a real blessing
