Looking to build a new gaming PC. Doesn't need to be top of the line, just something I can play more modern games on.

The last time I built a PC was around 2004 when the AMD 64 processor and the ATI 9800 video card were a thing so I'm a bit out of the loop.

Anyone have a good link or knowledge on what parts are considered decent nowadays? (Standard RAM amounts, processor, graphics card, HD being the main things I need to look into)

Been a good decade since I was into gaming but interested in the new Far Cry game and hell I just found out diablo 3 came out in 2012

and now im dying to play it.

AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm full steam ahead, first 7nm chip should be the Apple A12 SoC this fall. Hopefully we will see a nice jump in mobile devices performance and especially battery life.

Last time I had a PC before I built this one a little over a year ago, vCod - cod4:mw were popular.

We used roger wilco and ventrilo, and snubbed our noses at teamspeakers.

Icq and xfire were our main lines of communication, and we used mirc to find Pugs/scrims.

Sorry for not getting the memo about B&H. At least I admit I'm dumb AMD bruh
