Yes I typed it wrong, it is the Ryzen 7 5700X (I get things turned around sometimes) and the cooler is the AMD Ryzen Premium Wraith CPU cooler.

I'm wondering if the AMD fan cpu cooler would be enough for a Ryzen 7 7500X or would it be better to have a liquid cooler? The computer would not be pushed too hard, maybe.....lol

You might be correct about Duke Nukem. I'm old and have CRS (Can't Remember "Stuff")

It was so long ago I don't remember most of the games I played on my C-64/128. I do remember Duke Nukem and Castle Wolfenstien.

It all looks good to me. Let me know how it works for you when you get it together and running. I'm looking to build one like yours soon.

I played MANY a game on my old 64 and 128. And I am old, just turned 70.

I live in the USA, budget is tight (retired) and I plan on using my old Dell ST2210 monitor for now. Just trying to get an idea of which GPU to use before I start my build.

I'm thining of building a new gaming computer by the end of this year (retired and budget is tight this summer). Anyway I'm thinking of a AMD Ryzen 5 series (R5 5600X right now) CPU and D550 motherboard. What I would like to know is which would be a better GPU with my system. AMD Radeon 6600 XT...

WOW that was eye opening

I'm in the USA. And I can do online or local.

I was thinking that instead of building my own gaming system I might just buy a premade one. What I'd like to know is, where is the best place to buy one? I lean towards AMD processors as I've had real good luck with them (my current CyberPower PC has given me 5 good yars but is now being pushed...

Great info everyone. I kind of figured that the two drives where what Why_Me said. I've had to reinstall Windows 10 a couple of thimnes and it is a PAIN to get things up and running again with one drive. Some to think about before I build my system (when my budget allows that is).

I'm thinking of building a gaming computer later on this year and I have a silly question for everyone. I've seen some pre-built systems with two hard drives. One is a 500 GB or smaller M.2 drive and the other was a 1 TB or bigger HHD or SSD. Could someone explain to me why (I'm old and slow so...
