I haven't seen a thread for this so I might as well make it now. Just wondering how many PC gamers there are who also ski and how you balance time and money between the two. Reply with your specs or if aspiring ones have questions post them below. I do realize there is a reddit thread about this stuff but I want to hear from the skiing community.

My specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 750 (trust me I plan on upgrading)
Motherboard: MSI H55M-P31
Memory: 8 GB (fried 16GB)
500 W power supply
Storage: 3 TB

Lets see those rigs NS!!

Peep my thread about the build I want to make. I am looking for some insight from other PC enthusiasts who know more than me. My potential build which I may downgrade a few parts because they may be too much overkill. Sum up my thread, do I downgrade to an i7 and 16GB ram to up the graphics card? On paper that graphics card hold pretty close to the 2080 and is FAR cheaper.

i9 9900K coffee lake
32GB RAM DDR4 3200
