30 hours if you literally ignore EVERYTHING else, skip through all the conversations, and choose the first response every time.

Don't forget difficulty on easy.

I've never completed a game in anywhere near the given time. Basically, I do the opposite of a speed run, more like a crawl.

If the game has a day night cycle, only play for one day in game a day.

At 78 hours I have finished the main quest. I have finished nearly all the side quests as well, some of which I don't think I will be able to complete due to bugs.

Did I enjoy the game? Absolutely! But.
I'm a little disappointed with the game. I don't think it lived up to what CDPR said the game would be. As mentioned above, awesome world but hasn't pushed boundaries. I don't even know how/what boundaries can be pushed.

I am back in the city, just wandering around, tidying up.

Also, there was the anticipation of playing this game. Now that anticipation has gone and I don't know of any game I am looking forward to any more.

I'm guessing it is a good game because I am feeling a little melancholic atm.

joking aside, the build has officially begun!

Told my brother in law to get it on PC once they recommended a 3070 saying it was either gonna run like crap or look like it on PS4.
He has a gaming rig. He decided to ignore my warning.

And this is why I'm holding out on the game lol

nice! the worst part for me is the software side. i can assemble dozens of computers in a week, and have fun every time in the methodical nature.

but it takes me upwards of 2 weeks to get all the updates, programs, and drivers sorted out...

Yeah the BIOS and windows installation is what I'm most nervous about. I know nothing about tweaking the BIOS or RBG stuff. So I'll see how that goes. Lol

Gaming motherboards are usually pretty intuitive for basic stuff.

from what i can tell looking back, you went with an asus board? i love their bios system. it literally can't get any easier.

bios is really easy as long as you're not attempting to overclock. the only thing you should need to adjust immediately is going to be the boot order to boot first from the media that you're installing windows through-- it needs to be first/top in the list.

after that, the windows install itself does a really nice job of walking you through the process. windows 10 even usually loads enough default drivers to even get everything up and running in the first shot. the xp through windows 7 era, it was much more common to load the OS, and then have to hunt for methods to install motherboard drivers to get things to actually work.





and another note-- i was just looking at your completed build picture scrolling back to get to your build sheet. while there's no exact method to the fan installation, by most standards, at least some of your fans are installed backwards.

tldr: flip your 2 front fans around so they're pushing air into the case.



the way everything is installed now, all of the fans(be sure to consider that the power supply has a fan as well, and also applies here) are set up to suck air away from the motherboard and graphics card. the case you've selected has a solid acrylic side panel(if it was vented, it would be a method for fresh air to get in), which means that with no direct method for new fresh air to get to the center, the fans are set to make the cpu and graphics card operate in a vacuum. vacuum's are bad for heat dissipation.


there's really 2 primary theories on computer fans.

the first is to create a positive pressure within the centerpoint of the case, where all the fans except the power supply fan would be directed to push air into the case, to guarantee that the cpu/graphics heatsinks have an overabundance of new, fresh air to pull from to cool those bigger heat-producers. i've met plenty of people that are passionate about this method, and it does work, but i feel it creates too much turbulence within the case, and too easily mixes 'used' hot air with 'fresh' cool air due to the fact that the front and rear case fans are essentially battling each other all the time.

the second theory, and the one i usually prefer, is to create a crosswind across the case-- usually the 2 front fans are set to push air into the case, and the power supply fan as well as the rear fan are set to pull air away from the case. in a perfect world, i generally try to make the sum of the front 2 fans larger than the sum of the rear and power supply fans, so that it encourages the aspect of the first theory to keep a positive pressure of new fresh-cool air, but also maintains a method for exhausting the old-hot air.
