I have been wanting to build a desktop for a while now, but I held back because I plan to move overseas in near future, and build it there, which I know is the right thing to do.

But I have spent ~24 hours in last 3 days researching specs and right build for me. I “need” to know :p. If I act on it, I’ll have to sell the new monitor, tower case, power supply (the bulky items) just after few months of use, once I move overseas, only taking remaining parts with me.

This sudden hyperfixation is crazy. Have slept just 3 hours today (when my body just gave up and shut down). Just thought I’ll share.

    I pause when I get like this and ask if I really truly need the thing. I feel we always need the reigns, but at the end of the day - life is changing. I believe all of humanity needs to be more responsible with their purchases. So I don’t care how much I put in to figuring out the “perfect” build. There will always be another one when it gets time that I actually need it. But equally, I too move a lot and if I can’t fit it in a backpack or suitcase I don’t think it’s worth an ounce of my personal time (pending I can’t give it away or sell it). And most things you have, they don’t sell for beans worth compared to what you’ve put in.

    But a hobby is a hobby and joy is joy. So it’s all up to you, but it’s just my opinion on the matter.
