My original plan was the 7600 non X but they seem to be about the same as the 7600x with a thermal assassin. Unless I’m just failing to find the better deal.

Awesome! That certainly seems like the one to go with in my price range. Cheers!

Have been looking at building a rig since I got my launch Steam Deck and things seem to have come together at the right time to build something nice. I’ll be looking at beefier PSUs. Thanks!

Oh good catch! Picking a case has been tough for me, just so many interesting options.

Thanks! I’ll check the sizes to be sure on the GPU and case.

Appreciate the comments. Good call on slickdeals for the monitor. I’ll look at PSU options with higher wattage. I think the cooler should be sufficient, I’ve seen mention of people using it with the CPU, but like the PSU could be a point of future proofing.

Where can I get a steam controller dirt cheap? I’ve wanted one since I got my SD but any of them in decent used shape seem to go for $50-60 and often are missing the dongle.

Appreciate you sharing that. While I do enjoy platformers I worry the entire thing is a novelty that I’d stop carrying after a few weeks.

That’s certainly part of it, my steam deck is in use most days and easily one of my best video game purchases.

I very much have wanted one of these to carry around for quick gaming fixes, but have struggled to justify the $219 for one. Especially when I have seen mixed reviews of the quality, hard to tell if vocal minority or it’s just a lucky draw if you get a good one or not. Anyone had one for a while and still loving it?

I’ve never heard of it, but sad to hear they sold out. Just as a note totally love there icons. I miss icons feeling like someone put some real effort and love into them.

Edit: Damn they’re just sunsetting the products and services? That’s rough.

Berty looks cool but is it just forming a BLE mesh or an I misunderstanding?

Thanks!
