Pc build Memes

Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" quite like dropping $3000 on a PC just to run VS Code and Chrome. The unholy matrimony of NVIDIA and Ryzen—where your GPU costs more than your car payment and your CPU has more cores than you have meaningful relationships. Meanwhile, your code still crashes because you forgot a semicolon. The modern dev's power couple: enough computing strength to simulate the universe, primarily used to run npm install and watch YouTube tutorials on the side.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again? Oh wait, it never turned on in the first place. The cardboard RTX 3050 might be your problem—turns out Amazon's "like new" condition isn't what it used to be. This is what happens when you tell your boss "we need to upgrade our hardware" and the budget approval comes back with "get creative." At least the fan is labeled "be quiet"—which is exactly what it's doing. The saddest part? This still has better airflow than my actual gaming rig.

Behold the evolution of PC justification logic: Normal brain: "I need this RTX 4090 for school spreadsheets." Glowing brain: "This 64GB RAM setup is essential for my remote work meetings." Enlightened brain: "My liquid-cooled rig is purely for watching YouTube at 1080p." Transcendent cosmic brain: "I spent $3000 on this battlestation to play Stardew Valley and occasionally open Notepad++."
