im pretty attached to the idea of importing the xg2431 to try out the backlight strobing in games that i know i will be hitting high enough fps in (accounting for the vast majority of my playtime), and the ones where i dont will be played on the lg c2 we will have as an all-rounder display in the living room

i thought that getting a 1000w psu now might be a good idea if i want to keep it inbetween builds like my current one that ive had for over 10 years. ive also played with the idea of maybe just upping my budget and getting a 4000 series card and one of the new cpus in maybe 6 months time or so, or as i said maybe a more powerful current one as people start getting rid of them early in the next year.
what do you suggest would make the most sense for my use case?

im building a new pc pretty much from scratch and feel like it could be improved a bit, but the how is beyond my knowledge. the main games i play rn are hunt: showdown, apex legends and potentially total warhammer 3 with a bit of pub tf2 now and again. ideally, i would like to get as close to 250 fps in hunt and apex as possible and maintain at least a playable framerate in total warhammer 3. i only do the occasional streaming/video editing so thats pretty much not a consideration at all with this build.

the cpu and mobo is quite possibly just a stopgap measure until new gen comes out and hopefully(?) drives down the prices on current higher end cpus like the 5800x3d a little bit. also worth mentioning that ALL of the components will be purchased used where thats possible. is there anything i could do to save a bit of money while not cutting down on performance? the less i spend on this build the more ive got to import a fucking viewsonic xg2431 (thanks for eu sales dickheads) and silk bedding for me and the wife.

edit: noise is a HUGE factor for me, i would like the pc to be as silent as possible while maintaining performance and am willing to spend extra money on that if need be

Listen to me; we are not going to mid.

moondrop chu or if youre willing to go a bit higher than 50 the aria is a nice upgrade

writing in wow has never been good and was only okay up until wotlk
playing that game for the story now will be a very disappointing experience for u

playing the hard pve content is really fun and challenging in wow nowadays, but the grind involved in getting to the point were ur even ABLE to step foot into mythic raiding or high keystones is incredibly tedious and all interesting content is hidden behind a literal time-gate (ur only allowed to grind out a certain amount of resources each day/week). u will basically have to spend at least 3 months once youve hit level cap, just playing catch up to acquire the entry level stuff thats needed for u to start even remotely enjoying the game.
its a very cancerous system designed to honey trap u with the promise of letting u do content u enjoy only after uve spent literal months doing content that no person in their right mind would enjoy (torghast, grinding up ur keystones, maw dailys/weeklies, grinding up the flavour of the month covenant rep, etc.) that u cant just bang out in one sitting bc the game only allows u to do an hour or two of these "chores" each day. u will be tricked into paying 12 quid a month for a game u can only meaningfully play for 2-3 hours a day before ur locked out of resource gathering.

having said that, the pve content at the top is immensely enjoyable as long as ur not trying to participate in the race for world first """events""". mechanics are fun, challenging and satisfying, there is more variety to character builds and minmaxing than there used to be and everything is fairly viable, even if not always optimal. race for world first however has been blatantly pay to win for a while and the top guilds are so inbred that u will never have any chance of competing, ever.

theres some truth to what wan said before me, the game is very fun to start getting into and learn, but once u realise what their business model is set out to achieve, it leaves a very bad taste in ur mouth imo. there is a very good reason that wow is and has been in massive decline for years. outside of pvp and organised raiding its an incredibly barren and soulless corporate product rather than a game.

someone post that i52 sideshow vid where his ancient morris minors brakes stopped working on the motorway

VIVA DA LIKO LOKO!

i told u how to set up the Box properly so u must have fucked up somewhere

u play the game just as much as he does except u suck ass

ok we saved tf2

so did we save tf2?

weirdly elitist perspective of a classic text that reeks of a first year literature student. why not read the ancient greek text instead if ur gonna bash someone about which translation theyre reading? why not read classics as they were "meant to be read"? why not huddle around a fire while some guy with a harp recites the whole thing from memory, making up his own version throughout the course of multiple nights? to stan someones english translation so hard is to completely miss the point of studying classics. ive read multiple translations, lattimores, popes and fagles' included, and vastly prefer caroline alexanders, a much more recent and easy to read one. literature, especially classics, is not about gatekeeping.
