So little backstory, recently purchased a pc gaming build never had one to myself for the past 30 years until now which sounds crazy. For the longest I was an avid “console gamer” I was arrogant by feeding this narrative of pc gaming becoming obsolete ect. Until I learned of geforce now last year with the ultimate subscription which made me go buy a shield pro just for geforce and was shook. I thought damn this is smooth….and I dont sacrifice graphics for 60fps?? wtf. So fast forward I decided to get a pc because I wanted see what it can do on my 4k 120hz tv.

I got this build just yesterday msi 4070 super, 7700x cpu liquid cooled and the amount of freedom I felt from it was wild. So peep this I have a ps5 and a switch, I loved my ps5 I aint giving that up ever , liked the switch but disappointed. So i said fuck it tried a emulation and when I tell you the face I made when I cranked that totk up in 4k and when I turned on my steam account to play cyberpunk with over 80fps I understood right then and there. I looked at my switch with pure disgust like you have to understand I am coming from a console only mindset so in my mind what the console delivers is perfectly fine at that moment until you get a pc lol Then it hit me, I can literally play my older games that im unable to play on my console like Fall of Cybertron. The freedom of Pcgaming is what console gamers like me didnt grasp.

The fact that now im intrigued in learning different parts of building a gaming pc in the future, learning what bottlenecking is, good cpu and gpu combinations, why you need this and that ect where with console you get what you get and like it pretty much.

The only real negatives about PC gaming is pricing, replacing a major part that maybe warranty wont cover and the fact that lately pc ports have been abysmal but overall this will be my go to from now on I am fully converted.
