I finished building and installing my new computer last weekend. So I just wanted to write an update about the system...

Since my current gaming PC has become my streaming PC, I decided to get myself a new gaming PC.

One thing was clear though, it wasn't going to be Intel-based in 2020, so I decided to go with the new generation of Ryzen processors (5600X).

In order to learn more about the platform and to try and be a better streamer, I keep going aroung and checking out other channels on Twitch.

And I've noticed a disturbing amount of people vape on stream, perhaps even as high as 30% of streamers in the categories I'm looking in. And as a life-long asthmatic and anti-smoking proponent, it just seems completely out-of-touch to me...

Quick Disclaimer: I will be using the terms smoking and vaping pretty much interchangably here, because to me it is a distinction without a difference.

Just thought I'd share the build I used to get sub-3 in the current Trial (Malkarion).

Hopefully this kind of mini PC will allow me to start streaming Linux games, which currently isn't possible due to hardware limitations of my current system...
