My home desktop only has 500GB(!!) and before today it had a little more than 100GB left. I’ve been downloading BG3 last several hours and guess how much space is left😭

I’m not into gaming much and the only other large game that’s installed is WoW, and those two games occupy ~300GB.

That made me realize, for those who enjoy gaming, it must require a lot of storage to play AAA games, etc. How much storage do y’all have on your PC/consoles?

*edit: it doesn’t have to be for gaming only!

    It’s a budget prebuilt gaming desktop I bought in 2020-2021. My computer had suddenly died and graphic cards seemed to have all evaporated. Even prebuilts with 30 series were out of order nearby. But there was one stock left with Ryzen 5 3600 and 2060 in Best Buy ~1hr away and I happily bought it. It only came with 500GB SSD, but I have 2x1TB external HDD so it was enough space for me until it wasn’t😭

    But are PC fans supposed to go this crazy? Only created a character + play for few min before going to sleep, but during that time I thought my PC was having a seizure. lol

      Lol. If it was a cheap pre-built it could probably stand to have the thermal paste on the gpu and processor redone. Thermal grizzly paste is really good stuff, but it’s also like $25. There’s plenty that are almost as good for half the money. Then also blow out all the fins with canned air. If your rig came with a short 2060 instead of a long one you’re pretty much destined to hear that fan no matter what, though. Can’t be louder than my kids PS4 right now.
