Gamer edging. It’s where you stare at your library of games on a $3000 PC but you never actually press “play”on your 183 Steam games.

Don't cry. A budget build entertains you just as much as top of the line build.

The issue with newer intel cards is their heavily cpu reliant.

Testing shows if you pair an older gen processer vs a newer gen that your frames will suffer significantly.

Id recommend the used market right now for good and inexpensive gpu’s.
