Didn't know Sid had moved into a career in games journalism, good for him

But the price of metal was too damn high

Neat, TIL

Just got hooked on it this weekend, happy to see there's more to come.

In case you should need to reinstall the OS for whatever reason, I have more peace of mind knowing that data is on a different drive entirely. It can also save time if you're upgrading your system you don't have to download games again, for example, though you could just bring an old drive into a newer system and likely achieve the same, but to me it's simpler to have it separated, and then you don't have to worry about booting from the right drive. Which probably answers your last question, no I do not dual boot but if I did I would probably have at most 1 drive for data and 1 drive per OS (though most likely I would just partition a single drive for OSs).

Wouldn't trust a Gigabyte PSU, don't care how long it's been since they say they fixed those issues. You could probably save some money with a ThermalRight Phantom Spirit cooler, save on the RAM as suggested in another comment, you might be able to get a similarly spec'd MSI or ASRock motherboard cheaper, and put some of those savings into a Seasonic PSU instead.

Now me personally, I like to keep my OS install on a separate drive from games, data, etc, so I'd look into a smaller 128GB or 256GB nvme just for that, but as I said that's a matter of personal preference.

Unfortunately this did not pan out for me at all when I tried to move out of IT support. Now I make fries and sandwiches (I don't even make them, I just put the toppings on). If possible I'll probably do this til I die, not cuz I love it, but because I never want to go through with the job application process ever again.

I've done that before but I wouldn't associate a game intro with staying up late playing a game, cuz I'd already be hours and hours past the intro.
