Computer games.

Looks great, there are few total conversion mods for various games out there that are awesome.
Enderal comes to mind, massive overhaul mod based on Skyrim, i think its on Steam (for free).
It's free if you own skyrim already, they're also making one called skywind, morrowind using skyrims engine
 
I finished my build yesterday, finally, after forever of gathering parts/deals/stuff @Baines' left foot
ASRock B650E Riptide AM5 Mobo
Ryzen 7 7700X
ASUS Strix GTX1070Ti 8GB DDR5 (*)
Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 RAM @ 5600

I know it's not great but it suits my needs and is upgradable - realistically I was gonna pick a lesser CPU and mobo cuz of the price of GPUs but this one was about to be discarded so I snagged it for free off a mate, unused (*) lol so I forked a bit more for a gooder AM5 processor/mobo combo.

What have you built this pc specific to play?
 
What have you built this pc specific to play?
Nothing in particular, same as I was before - Guild Wars 2, CS2, now I can do Battlefield 5 (was on sale for 4 quid and I have friends playing it), Baldurs Gate 3... basically anything I kinda want but on ultra settings lol I do some additional stuff occasionally with VMs so the extra cores and RAM will do me well there too.

My old PC was made with a budget build in mind in 2016, so it was crapping the bed big time - this is more of a refresh of the everyday PC rather than a purpose build. Still not used to stuff just loading instantly, mind! Will take some time I reckon.

What's it cost roughly? And please don't say 'money' (or 'love' for that matter...)

CPU was around ~€310,
Case - Cougar - ~€60,
GPU - free, as I said.
Cooler - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE - €35 (best in class non-water/AIO cooling for the 7700 and 7700X as per overclockers somehow!)
PSU - Seasonic 850W - ~€140 or so
Mobo - B650E Riptide - €250
RAM Corsair Vengeance DD5 - ~€100
NVME 500GB and 1 regular 2.5" SSD were ~€50-75 or so each, both Samsung, but the regular one was bought ages ago as I forgot I had it ( lol )

All are approximate and were either deals or I got them from work-related places for some price off - CPU was substantially off realistically from what's offered around our parts currently.

Also naturally a lot of smiles and love for it lol
