I think when this pandemic madness is over I'll replace my PC. It was the first I'd assembled for myself, based on the assistance I received in this thread. The advice was so good that not long after I made another one just like it for my elderly father to play Halflife 2 deathmatches. The problems I encountered were a sketchy power button on the Corsair Obsidian 250d, a very tight fight against the top of the case for the video card, and the Seasonic power supply crapped out after three years. I love this size and shape case but understand if a modern GPU requires something different.

I'm surprised and pleased that my six year old rig still runs well and was able to handle RDR2 at HD but I think it's time to move to newer technology. I would not want to buy all the bits and find out that I will have to wait ages before an appropriate video card is available. My goal is to be able to run new, demanding games at high detail and high frame rates (at regular HD resolution) without my PC sounding like it's melting. I'm sticking with HD because I don't like LCDs much larger than 25", and higher res UIs are tough on my old eyes. I like my case except that it has an awful, squishy power button that at times has made it impossible to turn my drat computer on. That said I'm willing to move up to a larger case to avoid restricting my video card choices, but would like to stick with something easy to assemble and maintain, no geegaws required.
