Building a new PC for Windows 11? - GoFuckYourself.com

Huggles · 10-09-2025, 11:40 AM

Anyone else thinking of doing the "upgrade" soon?

Should I go AMD? Stick with Intel?

I'm thinking of a budget Ryzen setup but with a good motherboard and a 5060 Ti video card or something. I know the whole Windows 10 end of support thing is probably going to be a nothing burger, but I keep having dreams where I wake up and my computer is hacked and wiped from some sort of crazy Windows 10 hack that takes out millions of computers world wide and I lose all my Allan Fong AI videos and and COVID conspiracy memes!

My computer is currently really fast and a great desktop, but the motherboard doesn't support the shit I need for Windows 11! FUCK!!!!!

I only use my Win11 machine for simracing. Everything else is on a mac.

Keep your existing machine and use https://omarchy.org instead of windows

I might dual boot. Definitely want to stick with Windows out of familiarity and out of the fact that I know if I use Linux and if I have any difficultly with it, I'll get wasted and rant on here about it and nobody wants that!

I'm not sure about the 5060Ti but with the 3060Ti it actually had less VRam than the cheaper 3060 - If you are using it for local AI then VRam is very important...

I learnt that the hard way.....

Update: I just looked and the 5060s both come with 8 gigs - The Ti also has a 16 gig variant - I would def go for that if I was interested in AI...

Do those pyramid cases make the pc work better? I never seen one, but I am getting really old.

Yes! They look nice and inspire you to do more than masturbate and drink gas station vodka!

Just tag DDH on X and he'll come in and help. His whole goal with that project is to make it approachable and easy to use by people like you.

Also you can always tag me and I'll do my best to help too. Save yourself some money. I put it on my old 2015 MacBook Pro and it feels snappier than it did when I bought it in 2015.

does your webcam and shit still work? I've got a 2015 27" iMac that I keep around even though I dont use it, just because I love the display on it.

Windows 11 was released 5 years ago...

This has more to do with people's reluctance to leave Windows 10, which many Microsoft fans often refer to as the 2nd best OS ever, right behind Windows 7.

Windows 7 was better... I had 0 complaints!

Shit like digital ID is going to happen no matter what, I'll just stick with Windows like a good MicroCuck!

I didn't test and that machine is still in Wisconsin. I'll check when I get it all out here with me hopefully in the next month.

I've got an older 17" Macbook that i've had for a long time, I'm going to experiment with it. I hadn't ever thought of putting linux on it, it's just been sitting in the closet for years.

Left Windows many moons ago and never looked back.
Started with Mac but quickly realized it wasn't great for my style of traveling, ie it was stolen quite fast.
So went with a less inviting machine, covered it in stickers and put Ubuntu on it.
Runs fast and doesn't get stolen either

The best part is you can use any of your old machines and give them new life with Linux rather than spending your hard earned vodka money.

I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro a few months ago with an AMD chip. Had no idea this was an ARM chip. The ARM chip is more commonly used in cell phones and tablets. They use less power and have less heat (and no fans). It sounds great on paper until you discover some software does not run on Windows using an ARM chip. So.....

As for I use refurbish old Alienware PCs. You can have an ugly computer box on your desktop or at least something that looks cool.
