I'm willing to gift this to you, with the expectation of you providing a few entertaining Youtube videos of your future ass kicking PC game adventures. Maybe some MS Paint uploads. I appreciate your antics over the years, and am happy to contribute.
Dell Optiplex 7010 base. I have a spare 21" or 22" DVI monitor to donate as well. I think. I'll have to check. Already have a 1TB SATA HD. No spare SSD, sorry. I think I've found 16GB RAM too.
I went to Microcenter to pick up the PS and GPU today, but their ****ing POS system was down and they were only accepting cash. It will likely be after the J4th holiday, but I'll contact you to come pick everything up when it's ready.
Cheers, bud.
That's very kind of you to do that for Penz Fish. [Reply]

Installing Windows 10 now. I'll install a few games for you too. Should be ready soon. I'll let you know when it's complete, and we can work out pickup. [Reply]

Hey Penz, do you need wifi? I can throw a wifi card in it if you require wifi. It has gigabit ethernet, if you can have it close to your router and connect with ethernet, that would be best. But I can put a wifi card in otherwise. Let me know... [Reply]
I also installed KODI for you, and configured it with the most recent plugins(Elysium, Exodus, SportsDevil). Recent Movies and TV, all available for you, just double click the link on the desktop...
You also have the ability to use multiple monitors if you have that available. I'm providing a 22" monitor connected via DVI. But you could also connect another or two of your own. The video card has a spare HDMI and VGA connection available. You could even connect it directly to your bigscreen TV if you'd like. The motherboard also has 2 separate Displayport connections to attach monitors as well. Theoretically you could connect 4 displays.. maybe.. You'd need Displayport adaptors for that though.. [Reply]
Probably not installing the demo versions of these following games for you to "test"...
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 4: Andromeda
Dark Souls 3
Dying Light
Far Cry 4
Shadow of Mordor
Skyrim
Wolfenstein: The New Order
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Even if I did, I would of course expect you to eventually pay for the titles you play once you can. If that were even possible, as they probably don't even have demos available for those games.... Who knows.... we'll see............ [Reply]
Damn I am blown away at the generosity I would need a wifi net card. I am trying to decide how to pay this forward to keep the giving going. From the first post about it just the thought that someone would give me something felt good. Thanks again. [Reply]

Wifi card installed.
Yeah, just pay it forward, bud. That's all I ask. In whatever way you're able, when you can make a difference.
I'm afraid I'm officially on vacation as of today though. Meaning I might not be able to meet up with you for another week or so, depending on how my vacation plans play out. I may be able to meet up sometime next week, but no promises, as my vacation plans have already needed to be drastically changed. Sorry to delay delivery after completion, but I've had vacation planned much longer than your upgrade.
