Wee! It's so fun getting a new computer - I've had mine for about a year... I went with a 4k video card and 4k monitor. I will warn you - the graphics look great but the UI is itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny - kinda of silly EA doesn't auto-fix it based on your resolution. Really, it's way too small. I have great vision and I can barely see it lol. I'm curious - what'd ya get!?

I just noticed the community tab is gone! Where'd it go?

Mine is still there, but Patreon is re-formatting stuff right now so it could be something they're working on. For almost a week I couldn't see any of my messages...

I have 4k on my laptop but you're right, the UI is so messed up on it, and not just with Origin games either. I was going to build my computer but I just don't have the time so I ordered one from Cyperpower. I ended up with the I7-9700 with the ASUS Strix gaming board, the Geforce RTX 2070, 16GB of memory that I'll likely add on to, and a 3TB HDD. They had a special so it came with a free 512GB PCle SSD which is new to me. I've only ever used the old style SSD's so it'll be interesting to see if it runs more efficiently. I'm keeping my old monitors which are unfortunately NOT 4k but my board and video card will run it no problem when I decide to upgrade. I'm probably gonna to wait and ask Santa for a pair of 4k monitors for christmas lol. ;)

Niiiiiiiiice! You will definitely notice a difference in access/load times because of the SSD. I would put all my game files on that and it loads in a snap. Mine came with 16 GB of memory but I upgraded to 24 GB - makes a difference in the processing time of your CPU, you can also have multiple large programs open at the same time (Photoshop, Blender, S4Studio, etc AND the game) and not notice any lag or glitches when switching between them. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 and an AMD dual gpu - the geforce gpu your getting is going to be faaast. :) I think you are going to enjoy it. I love getting a new computer lol it's like christmas morning to me!

Haha it IS like christmas morning. The computer I had was still fairly new but the video card on my data entry/backup computer went out and in order to replace it with something more functional I was going to have to overhaul the power supply and connectors and I just decided I didn't want to keep investing in it seeing as how I've already had to replace the motherboard and upgrade the video card. I think I did better at researching and choosing more reliable parts this time...I should get at LEAST a good 5 years out of it. ;)
