New-ish PC bits


Have finally given in to get myself a slightly newer PC, on a bit of a budget but, something I can upgrade over time.

Managed to wangle a B450 motherboard with a low-end athlon 220g processor and 16 gb of 3200 mhz ram for £100 off ebay, will probably add a geforce 1050 card to it over the coming weekend and decide which storage to use, it has a M.2 slot for stuff which is kinda cool!

I'm glad the mobo has 4 slots on it and I should be able to use my existing PSU and case, there's lots of room for upgrades also which is kinda exciting.

Should I go with Windows 10 or Windows 11 though, I'll likely err on the side of caution and probably go for windows 10.

I think I'd prefer to go with Win11. Why go for a new-ish PC if you aren't going to be running the new-ish OS?

I don't think there's any "major" issues with 11, are there? I mean, I've only been using it inside a virtual machine, and even then it's maybe 1 or 2 times a month.. My reliance on Windows is almost non-existent at this point.

But, yeah, they're cramming in adverts and other bullshit, but they've been trying that for decades. The complicated part is how the hell you turn that shit off.

Since you've opted for a "classic" (non-ARM) system, you likely won't be impacted by the myriad of ARM based issues that Win11 is being bogged down with.
