Please check post 14 for an update.
Working from home this year has really put my patience to the test, and I've realized that I can take two routes. 1. Be more patient 2. Build a new PC
Obviously, I'm leaning toward #2
$600 is an arbitrary amount, but it seems reasonable.
Big wants:
1. Fast browsing (chrome and firefox)
2. Faster load times on Google Drive. My internet isn't the problem (~300mb/s ethernet)
3. Fast file transfer (mainly smaller files)
4. The ability to deal with 5 windows with 100 tabs without slowing
5. Smooth medium-high gaming via Stadia or GeForce Now
6. Possible future addition of a gfx card for personal gaming
7. USB C
8. Included wifi is nice but not required
That's about it. This is what I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VhRWK3
I have one concern with it though... 2666 memory :-(
Thoughts?
