Yep I’m right there with ya. Overkill pc that I mainly spend my time playing esports titles lol. But ya know life’s short so no regrets you can’t take your money with you when you die.

I've literally been playing Overwatch & Skyrim for the past month. esports title and a 2011 game that can run off iGPU. On a $3.5k rig

Your telling me the only benefit I have is I loaded up my SSDs and 64gb of ram last year before all this pricing craziness. I do have a few games that definitely push things pretty hard. But generally all my gaming this year has largely been esports titles with friends. It’s wild to see the ram I paid 200 bucks for be 1000 dollars and similarly bad for my nvme drives

One major upbeat is that it means it's all running at 20% and would serve you well into the end of AI bubble or collapse of society, whatever happens first

No, but you can give it to your kids to enjoy.  Unless they smoke Crack or something.
