    I've got a intel i7 2600 cpu @3.40 ghz , 8 gb ram, geforce gt950 which is a pretty old system but runs all the latest games well.

    Anyone have or going to get 4k gaming ?

    I'm using Avast Cleanup Premium for my pc and it's the best program i've used to speed up boot up and performance by cleaning all the programs that are not needed.

    I have 4K gaming on my Xbox One X, never been a PC gamer always Consoles. My PC has a 8gb ram needs upgrading its served me well and in healthy condition I have 1.5 terra bite hard drive, I use my PC mainly for Music and Graphic design work (Hobby) so no real rush to upgrade. I have two curved 24inch 1080p monitors stacked so good screen realistate for when I am browsing and doing creative stuff.

    I've never owned a console always used my win 10 pc for gaming over the years.
    Upgraded to 8 gb ram just for better gaming ,gta v, f1 2018 and now playing a bit of Red.Dead Redemption 2

    What 4k games do you play and is it worth upgrading ?

    Samsung 46 led tv at the moment and would love to have a 65.
    This samsung runs cool and has been reliable for years unlike my previous samsung lcd which ran hot and starts up with 2 lines on screen which go away when it warms up.

    What's the best tv brand for picture quality and reliable or are they too similar all to bother ?

    I have roughly a hundred games on my Xbox One X though rarely use it these days, the 4K games are good stuff like Fifa, Forza, Forza Horizan games, Doom, Halo, Gears of War, Star Wars Battle Front 1 and 2 and Tomb Raider etc.

    The new The Xbox Series X console I have considered buying though can't really justify it at present.

    I have a 50 inch LG 4K HDR TV.

    Not looked at new TV's recently not sure what are the current best.

    100 games is a lot. Have you thought about selling the games you don't play on ebay ?

    I use my pc for many hours from ebay buying and selling high priced items, a lot of share trading and then in the evening-morning watch the football games on it as well so hopefully it doesn't break down.
    I should get another one as a backup.

    That's why i don't have a smartphone because i do a lot on my pc.

    I've got a $10 mobile........ :))

    Always wise to have a external back up hard drive, I back up everything daily just in case. I regularly check the health of my PC so I can see any warning signs of potential issues also.

    I have a habit of buying games and playing some only once then forget about them, to be fair I have stopped doing that. I have 3 terra bite hard drives(s) for my Xbox and I have got rid of a lot of games also lol

    That's good, every six months I go through the majority of files and try to order them properly and delete anything I don't need, I try too have a good amount of storage space free so my PC runs well.

    Have you got any super apps on your pc.
    Avast Cleanup Premium i use because my pc used to take ages to bootup but this cleans all the rubbish files etc much better than some other programs i used in the past.

    Not at all, just outside the bathroom. But it is weird to hear the vacuum knock against the door while it's doing its run. When it gets stuck somewhere or can't find its way back to the wall charger, you tend to pick it up and guide it, and you get a sense of satisfaction that you've helped it. It's in your nature to automatically care for it. Surreal.

    Anyone play the buggy Cyberpunk 2077 ?

    Sony Corp. has removed CD Projekt SA’s Cyberpunk 2077 from its PlayStation Store and is offering full refunds, taking unusual steps to appease customers furious about bugs plaguing one of the year’s most highly anticipated gaming blockbusters.

    The radical move came after the console version of Cyberpunk 2077 debuted Dec. 10, following several delays, to reviews calling out problems and an online outcry from players frustrated with its poor performance. Warsaw-based developer CD Projekt -- best known for 2015’s The Witcher 3, part of a franchise that was turned into a successful Netflix Inc. series -- has offered refunds to any disappointed players, but Sony is going a step further by entirely removing the game from its store. Cyberpunk features Hollywood star Keanu Reeves as an in-game character and has used the actor as its most visible ambassador in the build up to its release.
