Life update
Figured it's due time for one, especially in context of living in Russia.
I can't leave, and probably gonna be stuck here for God knows how much. Since my leave post I did finished helping parents with their debts n' court case. Couple months being fully on my own living in a rented apartment just outside the city. I have enough income to live n' eat, so don't worry about me starving, at least no reason for that yet. Transition wise, tiny bits here n' there my hair are getting longer, with my own place I am more free to wear what I want when home.
Lost a good amount of people as friends over the year, learned a lot from that, but also found people who are dependable as well. Two of closest are so kind to be helping me with buyings stuff, like FFXIV subscription and Guild Wars 2 recent expansion, because I couldn't pay for them myself doe to MasterCard shutdown and they wanted for me have contact with them no matter what.
Finally... I want to say this. In times like these, the most awful of things can come out in people about their views. Especially right now here. For me to protests would be to become essentially homeless if I get caught. Despite how much my heart breaks seeing all of this play out - it is not simple. Be careful of misinformation, most people in reality just want to live in peace n' have a real choice. Stay safe.- Show previous comments 1 more

How's my PC building adventure going!
Basically, I have two builds, that my PC building friends suggested in my budget, one being without Windows 10 (the advise from a second friend is to pirate it).
I don't know, if there's a big down side for that, so help me out and overall judge these two on how it was presented to me.
1)Spoiler- Intel Core i5-10400F BOX processor
- MSI B460M PRO motherboard
- Case GiNZZU D180 [17223] Black

Yeah, I was thinking on adding a Windows 10 to the price, just buy it later. My budget roughly translates to 915$ from the currency of where I live. №2 friend was quite critical of №1 and insisted that's the best it can be in my budget.
I'm from Russia, so it's quite hard to ask about these things, but still want to make sure from different views if possible. -
I'm not super up to date with specific components but I'm excited for you building your own PC! I build my first one a couple years ago and will never look back. I pirated windows for my build, it's a pain in the butt. I will buy it out right for my next build for sure. I also notice, in both your build options, that you only have 1 SSD for storage, 512G and 240G, in my experience those are going to fill up FAST. I would suggest a 1TB HDD to supplement your SSD, you can get HDD for very cheap these days.

This is a link to a 1TB HDD for $40 Canadian, for reference.
Good luck and I cant wait to see pics of your new baby!

When building a computer I'd always recommend intel. AMD has gotten better but intel seems to still handle games better. I know like if you plan on Emulating game consoles like the Nintendo 3ds intel does that well. but AMD suffers. That's just an example. I have no experience with Ryzen so it might be worth it. My last amd computer was built with AMD FX 8350. It still plays games today but not as many. I use my intel laptop for gaming and other things these days. My intel laptop was 800 bucks when i got it this past year. Plays everything from Kotor (2003) all the way to Mafia definitive edition which just came out a few months ago. As for windows Hellary i never buy it and I'm fine. I say if you can find windows 10 cheap go for it otherwise pirate it. 100 bucks is way too much for am os. But most of this is opinions or from experience. Good luck buddy.

It's almost 4 years in RoH.
I've been very distant in pretty much everything and barely interacting with people recently - I'm deeply sorry for that, especially before people I appreciate the most here. Speaking of which:SpoilerSpoiler@SilentTheGray The credit for behind the scenes encoragement cannot be undersaid enough. Thank you for listenning to my worry filled thoughts sometimes and being one of the reasons I came to GW2 events, despite how distant I am.
Spoiler@Azilori Always a pleasure to interact! Thank you for listening to my random rambles about life or in-game things, and especially help during tough times.
Spoiler
Many more to mention, sorry I didn't include everyone. It would be a very long list >.<
I'm glad to be part of this big family, where I found such wonderful people.
