As a gamer, I've always been a desktop guy and usually every 6-8 years build a new behemoth of a machine. My 8 year old desktop is dying at the moment. I replaced a dead CPU a year ago. I replaced dead RAM 3 months ago. And now I'm once again getting RAM errors. I guess it's my motherboard and/or power supply that's the culprit here. I'm considering my options. Either replace the next round of parts and continue to troubleshoot or go a different route altogether. It might be time to buy a powerful laptop and replace my 8 year old desktop and 8 year old former work laptop.

What laptop are you rocking? I'm considering System76.

I'm currently using a old thinkpad, which is great for work and light entertainment but not for gaming.

it's strange that you have so many defective parts. i've had a gaming desktop pc for almost 10 years and my family still uses it, yet this pc suffered from the house voltage variations with shutdowns before i bought an UPS. Lucky i've never had to change a single part on it.

For the parts i always go with:

Asus for the motherboard and asus/nvidia graphic card

Intel for the CPU

Crucial MX or Samsung for the SSD, Western digital for HDD

G.Skill or HyperX for the ram

Corsair for the power supply ( try to get the models with Japan components in it )

Maybe there is new or better brands now, but this is what's works for me with minimul fail, during the last 20 years.
