Im so excited that im literally shaking. Not only is this my first gaming pc, but its also the most expensive thing ive ever purchased. Ive been a console pleb for the last 30 years of my life, what should I know going into this? I didnt buy a monitor because im hooking it right up to my 65 inch oled.

Here is the beast itself.

Im hyped as fuck to play cyberpunk with the rtx cranked all the way the fuck up. And to play portal rtx.

[DavidGzz]

Congrats! Do some Elden Ring and look up how to unlock the frame rate. It feels soooo good.

 

[Orta]

Welcome to the real next-gen.

 

[spons]

The best place to play.

 

[.Pennywise]

Congratz!

Now it's time to suffer from option paralysis and actually not play anything and see your backlog grow to no end

 

[reinking]

With those specs you should be good for two or three years.

Congrats and have fun.

Oh no doubt.

Enjoy the real Starfield experience when that drops. Among the many other superior experiences you're gonna have.

I already have that on xbox and ps5 haha! Guess im not buying games on xbox anymore

 

[bender]

Make sure you have an EGS account. Free games every week.

 

[Mister Wolf]

You deserve it. Returnal will be a good benchmark for your rig.

Since this is actually your first gaming PC, here's some important things to NOT miss:

• Old PC games! There is decades of must have games that you've never played on consoles, or that were always best on PC anyway. Use GoG and Steam sales, and Humble Bundle, Game Pass, and whatever other methods to get access to them.
• Legal Emulation. This is actually quite worth doing!
• Experimental Ray Tracing games like Quake RTX, Quake II RTX, Minecraft RTX, Serious Sam RTX, Portal RTX, etc.
• Legally decompiled console games that run natively on Windows now, like Super Mario 64 (with Render96 and RTX features!), Ocarina of Time (Ship of Harkinian). Check out dariosamo on Twitter and watch what he gets up to.
• Game Pass. Yeah, do Game Pass. The amount of games you get access to for the relatively low price is kind of staggering. Not much to lose for at least trying it out for a while.
• DLSS Swapper app in the windows store. Get it, use it, experiment with it, love it!

There's probably a lot more to know, but this will keep you busy a while.

 

[Crayon]

Damn you went all in. High five.

 

[RoboFu]

I mean you could have built that yourself for nearly half the price but .. mazel tov!?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Thats a real beast, grats

 

[Skifi28]

I mean you could have built that yourself for nearly half the price but .. mazel tov!?

The 4090 alone is nearly half the price.

 

[bender]

I mean you could have built that yourself for nearly half the price but .. mazel tov!?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Not to dissuade you but I bought a 4090/13900k prebuilt from Best Buy and the thermals were so bad I returned it and am building my own instead. 13900k is very hot and power hungry. Run some stress tests before your return period ends.

 

[Alexios]

If it's your first you should start playing all the classics and gems you've missed. Chronologically. You'll get to put that 4090 to use in 2033 or so

 

[chixdiggit]

Congrats OP. A whole new world awaits.

Im really excited to try out mario 64 with render96, also excited to play some old games that are currently unavailible on consoles, like singularity. Portal rtx was a huge selling point for me and i cant what to see what else comes from that tech.

I am also interested in dumping some switch games like breath of the wild to play it on pc

Good to know, thanks!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Congrats OP!

 

[RoboFu]

Lol well wouldn't you want for the future?

 

[Guilty_AI]

now make sure to play the real games

 

[rofif]

You clearly overpaid but yeah - that's top of the line.
The only thing that's not is the MSI case... but now you have a room to upgrade to a nice phanteks or fractal case !

 

[OverHeat]

All the fucking negative posters should

 

[Plies]

Congrats OP, but you still got no dead opps.

 

[ACESHIGH]

That's a fucking beast. Should last until 2035 playing games. I ain't joking.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

All the fucking negative posters should

Agreed.

As long as the OP is happy then I am happy for him

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Aren't MSI known for dogshit prebuilts?

 

[Bonfires Down]

Start redeeming free games from Epic unless you have some beef with them.

Also gg.deals

If the PC makes too much noise get some software to adjust the fan curves.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Since you bought a pre-built, uninstall any bloatware that comes with it.

 

[A.Romero]

Congrats! Quite a machine you got there.

A huge part of the fun is tinkering. Run your benchmarks, check your temps and start from there.

Gamepass is a joy.

 

[AJUMP23]

$4000 gaming pc. Plays Minecraft.


Lots of great games out there. If you have Xbox GP ultimate you can play age of empires 4 which is excellent. Enjoy the vast world of pc gaming.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Sorcerer]

But can it play Crysis?

 

[SJRB]

4,899.99

 

[amigastar]

That's a fucking beast. Should last until 2035 playing games. I ain't joking.

hmm, not so sure. it will last for a long time but not 2035.
OP your PC will for sure last this gen so about 2028 for sure. Maybe even 2030 at the beginning of the next generation.

 

[Celcius]

I remember when you could build an entire high end system for $2k. Now the videocard alone will cost you that. Crazy times.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Cdkeys.com is your friend. I've already preordered RE4 Remake, Star wars: Jedi Survivor, Dead Space Remake, and Returnal for way under retail price.

 

[Umbasaborne]

That's a fucking beast. Should last until 2035 playing games. I ain't joking.

Thats the goal! Im probably done buying microsoft consoles now, ill def be done buying sony consoles as they inch closer to day once pc releases

 

[FoxMcChief]

Congrats. Should last you a little bit.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Bleh you people mocking the price, that wouldn't pay for half of my mountain bike.
