An 8-9 year old workhorse. Being replaced in 2 days (when UPS shows up with the case and I can throw it together) w/ i5 7600, 16GB, z270 mobo, and a m.2 sdd for the OS and programs. Should be an eye opener. Not sure yet if I'll install a video card.

It's a fun game. If you don't like it, go play TF2 rip-off aka Overwatch
I mean, I prefer the character variants for Overwatch, the lore and the design in weaponry. Although newer characters (such as Orisa) I feel like their abilities are basically the same as other heroes, just in different forms.

It's the same with Paladins lately, they're running out of ideas just like Overwatch.
I only use to play this game at my friend's house and eh... it just reminds me too much of TF2 so i prefer Paladins more.

I like TF2 and Overwatch equally, however certain elements outdo others. Such as character variations, DLC and more. TF2's obviously more up to date however Overwatch has an update pattern I sort of understand some more.

I guess. If you like it then keep playing it. It's a game afterall :P
(Overwatch seems like a fun game but I don't understand characters at all and everything gets mixed up with Paladins and I end up pressing Q to activate my ultimate..)

SSDs are amazing. THe difference is night and day compared to HDDs, I didn't appreciate this until I built my rig. IMO get a GPU, your setup should be able to run a lot of things well.

Out of all shitty ones I still have

AMD A8 5540m
8gb ram
Radeon HD 8510G

Only thing is, it's a big laptop nice matte 17'' screen and backlit keyboard which is something you don't see often in consumer laptops.

Yeah, just don't know that I'd have the time/opportunity to get into 'serious' games. (50yo, married, kids, job, etc) If I did, my interest would be racing sims, and that's an absurd amount of add'l money to get into a proper setup. And anything less leaves you handicapped online. But I might get a decent gfx card just so I can run Dolphin with the dials cranked up a bit. I posted about that programming/emulation area yesterday.

The Modern, common use definition of a PC:

Rapberry Pi = ARMv6
ARMv6=/=X86_64 or X86

On Topic, my "Low-Spec" (Legacy) machine
Shuttle XPC SN25P w/ nForce 4
AMD Athlon 64 X2 (???)
2GB DDR RAM

TF2 ripoff? You're 14, right? Then you don't know what a ripoff is.
Having played both, Overwatch is literally just launch TF2 with Supers, unlimited ammo, the odd jetpack, and annoying characters who would fit right into early 90s comic books, spouting 1-liners and terrible puns. The only remotely tolerable character is Sombra, and even then she still spouts the odd 1-liner.

Having played Halo and Infinite Warfare. Infinite Warfare is literally just Halo with Jetpacks, OSK weapons, a loadout system and supers.

Spare me that crap. They're two different games. If you're stuck in them being class-based shooters with cheesy one-liners then you probably should find a new hobby. Using such a loose comparison is absolutely terrible.
