Build/Battlestation I’m a 60 year old that loves gaming.

Post image

ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDMR OLED monitor, Epomaker Galaxy 100 keyboard /w Quinn switches, ATK Dragonfly Ultra Max 2.0 mouse, KEF LS50 Meta speakers KEF KC62 subwoofer, Fosi ZH3 DAC/HP amp Fosi ZA3 amps X2 (monoblock), Sennheiser HD 800 S headphones G.SKILL Wigidash sensor panel

Build: Antec Flux Pro Noctua edition case, MSI MEG X870E Ace Max mobo, Ryzen 9950X3D CPU, RTX 5090FE GPU, 64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000, Two WD Black SN8100 4TB (Gen 5) drives, One WD Black SN850X 4TB (Gen 4) drive, Seasonic Prime PX-1600 Noctua Wdition PSU, Noctua NL-LC1-42 AIO, seven Noctua NF-A14X25 G2 fans Four Noctua NF-A12X25 G2 fans, Thermal Grizzly Wireview 2.

I posted my setup about a year ago it hasn’t really changed too much. I have a new Mobo, AIO, Case, PSU, and monitor. One of my main goals for this build is to not need any software to control the hardware (like icue, Armory Crate, etc). I broke that rule with the Wigidash but it’s worth it and the software is pretty solid and doesn’t use a lot of resources if you don’t use it with Aida64. I also use Fan Control to obviously control my fans.

Edit: added my subwoofer

Second edit: Because so many have told me that I need to toe in my speakers. These speakers are designed for no toe in. They sound worse if you angle them at your head. Their amazing soundstage collapses.

Third edit: The person in the upper left is Ringo Starr. It’s made from LEGO.

Fourth edit: I’m currently playing Starfield (300 hours in) next on the list is probably Crimson Desert or Witcher 3 remaster (3rd playthrough for this game). Also in the backlog is STALKER 2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 along with many others.

u/Probate_Judge Old Gamer, Recent Hardware, New games 22d ago

I know someone who is 89 that plays an MMO.

Doesn't matter that he can barely read the text(bad vision, not illiterate) and is apt to fall asleep while fighting mobs or running around town.

He still farms loot and makes money on the market better than many.

Being an old gamer is great, they have tons of time to grind.

Well, up until they can't, which he's probably approaching fast, which is sad, but it's still a great deal if they're into it.

I credit gaming for keeping him as sharp as he is.

Beats drooling in front of a TV 'watching' old movies for the dozenth time at ear shattering volume.

OMFG, we where into games on DOS, then Atari and so on. Now life pile on. Some of us thankfully can game. And we lo it!!!!!!

u/jabaturd 22d ago

It actually can have an age. I just crashed into mine at 54. I started having hangovers getting worse. Pretty sure its my kidneys after locking in for too many hours at a time. I just quit playing last week. Immediately felt better. I would put off going to the toilet so blood is turning to trash.

u/RUPlayersSuck R9 7900X | RTX 5060 TI | 32GB DDR5 22d ago

I'm not far behind you but my solution is to take regular breaks - at least every couple of hours. Just stretch my legs, go in the garden & get some fresh air (provided its not raining). Though most days I don't have time for more than a couple of hours anyway.

Just 10 minutes or so of walking around, stretching and just not looking at a screen for a bit does wonders...for me anyway.

You'll see some Twitch streamers do the same thing...but they really need to as they can stream up to 10 hours a day!

The human body was not meant to be stuck in a chair for hours at a time. 😉

3

u/Popular-Background78 22d ago

Same. I'm not far behind you and I COULD game a lot more, but I now notice how it makes me feel like crap.

5

u/No-Search-7964 22d ago

Damn, this might actually be a thing. I’ve noticed the same shift — gaming doesn’t hit the way it used to, and sometimes it genuinely makes me feel like crap afterward. Not stopping me from the forever loop of upgrades though. Just because I don’t, doesn’t mean I can’t. The hobby evolves, even if the sessions get shorter..

What games are you currently playing? Super nice set up by the way.

u/mumstead 22d ago

I generally play one game at a time. Right now I’ve got about 300 hours into Starfield. Next on the list is probably Crimson Desert but with the new Witcher 3 remaster coming out I may be playing through that for the third time.

u/Duke_5ilver 22d ago

Man. You gotta play Crimson Desert on that rig, sir! Will not disappoint.

u/ThatOneFoo69420 22d ago

I’ve been loving starfield for the past 2 years. On playthrough two right now, paying more attention to detail and diving way deeper this time. I really quite like it regardless of what people say

7

u/broodgrillo RX 7800X3D, RX 7800XT 22d ago

If you want open world games with lots to explore, might i recommend STALKER 2? The original trilogy is janky, so even though they are some of my favorite games ever, can't really recommend them without a big BUT. The new one is great, lost a bit of jankiness to boot and it's just fun to run around and find stashes of loot, listen to the NPCs conversations, getting upgrades, etc...

4

u/mumstead 22d ago

I have STALKER 2. It’s near the top of my backlog.

u/broodgrillo RX 7800X3D, RX 7800XT 22d ago

Well, shit! Have fun then.

u/Stoxxed 22d ago

I'm a big fan of old Bethesda games and I did not enjoy starfield. Even mods can't fix it.

Dude same, i tried waiting for more mods to try to fix it but even the modders gave up and so there was barely even a fraction of the mods.

I'm 58, a noob who just built his first budget gaming PC and I need to get to your level! BTW, this is all the space I have in my tiny house for this setup. Got some large furniture sets. And ignore the Nuvision tablet device. Found it and was hoping to install Linux on it or something but it's not compatible as far as I can tell.

You can actually play games like this?

Budget with 3 screens? 😂

u/_YeAhx_ 22d ago

Monitors are too high. Perhaps tilt one of the monitors to 90 degree (vertical) and lower it to the desk. Just a general advice. Also isn't the cabinet getting in your way ? If I was in your place I would have already broken the side panel with my legs lol. I think you can move the desk a little to the right and place the cabinet between the wall and the desk legs to the left.

Once you go studio monitors for your PC setup, you'll never go back to "PC speakers" of any sort. 😃

My PC setup includes:

  • 2x ADAM A5X
  • ADAM Sub8 subwoofer
  • Schiit Modi 3 DAC (using S/PDIF from the PC)

Cleanest and best PC audio setup I've ever had.

Congrats on the new build. Kudos on the Thermal Grizzly Wireview 2. I would not want that cable in my house without that sort of security device checking it.

I fully understand the not wanting to install windows drivers. I personally ported to Linux. It saves me chasing all the spyware that comes with Windows these days.

Also a 60 yo gamer.

What's your reaction time still?

People in their 30s around here coping that 'their reaction times aren't what they used to be.'

u/e1m8b 22d ago edited 22d ago

I was joking in group chat that I'm getting better with age. Grew up thinking I "sucked" at reflex based games like fighters or shooters. Then one day I said fuck it and decided to really test my limits.

Turns out I'm pretty quick and still competitive well into middle age particular with mouse and keyboard. Not eSports elite status or anything but respectable enough to stay productively contributing with online play.

Specifically, I was able to definitively stay under 200ms reaction speed when fully rested and mentally 100 percent. Obviously, only during peak performance but as long as I can still hit 200ms as needed, good enough to play twitch games still.

EDIT: "Proof" of my own stats just to make this comment more interesting :)

That phrase annoys TF out of me, I have heard it too. Its such an ignorant comment

Yet these other "adult" things seem to get a free pass:

Getting drunk
Attending sports events wearing overprice team clothes
Getting stoned
Splurging on expensive cars
Smoking
Getting the boys together to watch other boys run around a field throwing a ball on a big screen
Watching cars go round and round in circles from a stand
Throwing money at Disney/Netflix/Prime etc to watch shows
Any other hobby

But video games? Video games bad!

I love my KEF speakers, I have the LSX II and the KC62 subwoofer hooked up to my gaming rig and they sound great.

“It hasn’t really changed much” except each 4TB drive is now probably worth over £2000 🤣

What games you playing?

u/IcyCow5880 22d ago

I'm 38 and dream of retiring to be able to game all day.

But like, we just had a long weekend and it was over so quick. I kinda feel that's how quick my last 20 or so years would go.

u/MierdaDelTorro 22d ago

that's great. I am 45 and still gaming. Waiting for Witcher 3 remaster ATM. After that is W4 or GTA6, whichever gets to PC first, but will play both eventually

u/Humzie 22d ago

Age doesn't matter. I still imagine myself gaming on age of 60 in the future.

Does the PS2 emulator run well on this system?

u/pablo_kickasso 22d ago

My audio OCD is seriously triggered by you not having those speakers angled inward.

Equilateral triangle, folks!

Edit: yeah, and awesome setup, congrats. I wish I'm half as cool when I grow up.

Fun fact: Just a couple more years and some of us here will be saying the same '60 years old still in gaming'

Yea we are nearing that era now 👌

u/RoughBath1674 22d ago

Hi, I’m planning a build with a HYTE Y70 and a TRYX Panorama SE 360, and I’m trying to hide the AIO tubes as much as possible from the front glass.

My idea is to mount the TRYX radiator at the top of the Y70, with the tube connections on the left side. Instead of routing the tubes directly across the visible area of the motherboard to the CPU block, I’m wondering if I could route them toward the rear of the case first.

Basically, I want to use the space between the rear end of the top radiator/fans and the rear section of the Y70 to route and secure most of the tubes out of sight. Then, once the tubes reach the area above the CPU, I would bring them forward/down with a gentle bend and connect them to the CPU block.

The idea would be something like:

Radiator → toward the rear → hide/secure the tubes there → return toward the CPU → short visible section → CPU block.

Do you think there is enough clearance in the Y70 for this routing, and can the TRYX Panorama SE tubes make the required bends without being kinked or put under too much stress?

Thank you so much

Now point those speakers towards your ears, instead of straight forward, and enjoy even better sound
