I ended up going with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX since its performance is pretty much on par with the AMD Radeon RX, but it pulls way less power. It also comes with a bunch of features that the R9 series just doesn't have, and I really like how this specific model keeps the fans completely silent during idle or when the load is low.

The neighbors are sitting on just two points after four rounds, so I suppose they really can't afford another stumble if they want to stay relevant. Facing off against a weak side like Andorra seems like the perfect moment to blow off some steam and get their confidence back up, though honestly, anything less than a dominant win would probably feel like a disaster for them.
I mean, why wouldn't you just go with the Intel X99 platform and an i7-5820K? Even looking at the price, it isn't significantly more expensive than the Intel Core i7-4790K, yet you're getting two extra cores, which makes it a much stronger and better choice if you're thinking about longevity. It seems pretty easy to overclock that thing to 4GHz or maybe even a bit higher. Also, instead of just one NVIDIA GTX 980, I suspect that running two ASUS Strix GTX 970s might actually be the smarter move here.

32 million 😲 The salary for top-tier players is what... maybe half a million a year? These guys will probably make that kind of money two or three times over in just two weeks. I guess you have to hand it to them. 🙏
We’ve had such an incredibly easy run to the finals this time around. In several of these matches, the top-tier players were basically sitting on the bench resting, giving us an extra day of recovery that the Polish team just didn't get. Meanwhile, Golac keeps coming up with these endless excuses that have absolutely nothing to do with his own performance... what a complete joke. 🙏🤦 I honestly find myself wondering from time to time what makes Duvnjak considered one of the best players in the world... if we had actually called up Balić, he probably would have been much more useful.

With that specific case, you're pretty much stuck with low-profile cards, which I guess means you're mostly looking at entry-level graphics options, and honestly, the selection there isn't exactly huge either.
Here’s the configuration, obviously. I suppose an integrated graphics setup would probably be enough. If you're planning on keeping the PC right next to the TV, then an ITX build might make more sense.

Or just go ahead and grab an SSD right away; you’re definitely going to notice the speed boost compared to a standard hard drive. You can just install macOS and all your programs immediately without any headaches. I guess the CPU and GPU are still pretty decent enough for 1080p gaming
