I haven't had this feeling for probably 13 years now :(

I miss having a desktop PC

Everything I could find, including CPUZ and its cousin, just called it Radeon 6700 series. I can't believe how quiet my machine is right now. I should play a game to warm it up. :)

It began its life as a stock XPS 8300. The first upgrade was from Win7 Home to Pro. The next upgrade was from 4x2GB RAM to 2x8GB RAM. Win10 came along, then I bumped to 4x8GB RAM. That gave me the room to put almost any game I play on a RAMDisk for a performance bump that even SSD could not match. :)

The SSD is coming soon. I expect this machine will last a few more years.

With respect to Black Friday, I am keeping an eye on a few systems and a couple combos of parts. I will make up my mind on whether a new box or DIY will happen this year based on pricing/value.

A little bit of investigation tells it probably was a Radeon 6770 GPU.

The processor is still some 70% more powerful than mine... and not that much slower per core than the latest generation, so unless you need more cores, it should be quite alright.
