I've got a quote done and done a bit of tweaking myself as well.
It will mainly be used for day to day tasks, nothing above and beyond the usual browsing/shopping/watching films etc.
I will also use it for games. Mainly city building - with lots of simulation. Probably the new Frostpunk 2 as one example, or City Skylines - things like that.
Ideally I would like it to run it with ease, and of course, future proof it a little so give it a bit of life.
I'm wanting to know if this works as a computer in general. What I don't want is to spend money on something that will never get used, or is simply overkill. I may not have done that, but I'd like a happy balance somewhere. Also, I don't want to get something that doesn't match up to the rest of the computer build.
My current computer has also had issues with cooling in the past when playing some games, to where it's even shut down. So would love to know the cooling etc is sufficient on this build to manage - or if I need to upgrade.
Thankyou for any help/advice.
