That's a relief


My only concern is my last gaming PC I ordered from iBuyPower in uh... 2009? And I had to send it back twice because things didn't work or weren't installed properly. It was a headache for like two months

ibuypower famously make garbage pcs that fail instantly out of the box. a big csgo tournament got pcs provided by them once and during every game someones computer would just completely fail and have to be replaced

The number of cores doesn't matter because 99% of all programs but especially games don't actually use more than 1 core. So you just get one with good clock speed and stop worrying

An SSD makes your games load way faster but they wear out really fast compared to a regular HDD

actually modern ssds with normal use will theoretically last your entire life

So I should have an SSD for running games and the OS and a regular HD for long term storage?

yes but not for the reason larry is talking about because its just a lie

you get a big mechanical drive because theyre cheap and you can get 4tb for half the price of a 1tb ssd

I'm probably the only gamer in the world who's worried about this because i still use the 100GB drive that came with my first computer

i think my first computer had a 250mb hard drive
