Welcome to the community! I honestly hadn't noticed that there were any subscribers here. What specs do you guys rock?

As for me, I have a Core i3 10100 with 4GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD with no GPU. I really scraped as much money as I could (this PC cost around $200) and I'm more than happy because it can run many older games perfectly fine which I never even dreamed of running on my old PC..!

just running a somewhat-modified HP pre-built. 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 @ 3.8 GHz, I believe, with a Radeon RX 6400 GPU I put in since my power supply doesn't have proper connectors for any GPUs that require more power and pretty much everywhere online says not to use adaptors for that stuff. 16 GB of RAM (upgraded from 12 GB), 500 GB SSD. Haven't tried too many games with it that may actually need anything like the GPU, but what I have thrown at it runs fine.

EDIT: Just checked, my CPU runs at 3.9 GHz, not 3.8
