As someone who gamed exclusively on console for almost 40 years, and only within the last couple years built a PC, do yourself a favor and build a PC with your own two hands. You will gain a deep appreciation for all things gaming/tech if you build it yourself. You will gain extremely useful knowled

Looks phenomenal 👌 and love almost everything about it. I do wonder one thing, and not just with your setup but most ppls setups.

Slightly over budget (even as B-stock units), but cherry wood finish Vanatoo Transparent One Encore Plus (EAC review). Of the models you listed, the Kanto ORA would probably be the one to get. (Obviously the larger Kanto ORA4 would otherwise been better speaker, but it is only available in black or
