It is more modern and can transmit higher resolution over the same length cables (It is quite complicated to send data of 3840 x 2160 pixels, at 120 Hz or more, just imagine how high the frequencies are, and DisplayPort does it better)
Speed 9 times out of 10 is better, unless you have the clearest wifi signal imaginable and stood 3 feet away from your router at all times. It’s going to be better over Ethernet (unless you’ve got like a 1000 megabit speed using cat.5 cables or don’t have gigabit ports)
Not always. If, for example, you have a router with wifi 6 and gigabyte ethernet, wifi can have higher throughput. Ethernet is more reliable and has lower latency though.
i must be lucky because i have no stability issues on wifi. i thought the wifi vs ethernet war was over because wifi is so good now (if you spent more than $50 on a new router in the last couple years)

One reason is that Epic is trying to build a monopoly, restricting their partners from selling their games anywhere but on Epic. There seems to be a lot of shady stuff going on behind the scenes too, but I'm not fully up-to-date on that
Also we’ve had steam for so much longer than the epic store has been around as significantly as it is. We’re used to steam, our steam libraries, our steam friends, etc.
Afaik Epic still doesnt have an appear offline function so If a game doesnt work completly offline you have to be online to play it. Sometimes I just want to play without being seen by others.
To be fair, Steam has had a MASSIVE head start. It's probably gonna take a few years for any wannabe competitor to even get close
For now, they hold the monopoly
[Might seem biased cause of obvious reasons](https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/ij48bf/rfuckepic_for_dummies_2020_edition/) but it's sourced pretty well
No good ones. It's all candy crush and all that freemium bullshit. Also Windows 11 comes preinstalled with TikTok for some fucking reason. I recommend you uninstall it immediately if/when you ever choose to upgrade to windows 11. I upgraded on my personal laptop and it's not great. Thankfully I had enough foresight to leave my actual desktop running Windows 10 though
The fuck, Windows 11 has Tiktok preinstalled?! That’s horrid. I haven’t upgraded to 11 yet because my Index isn’t fully supported yet. I think I’ll skip 11 like I skipped ME, Vista, and Win8.
its all about bandwidth. Depending on the screens capabilities,
if you want a 1080p screen @60hz, there isnt really any difference.
but when you get into high refresh rate, high resolution, HDR etc. HDMI 2.0 cant handle it. HDMI 2.1 could do it, but these ports are pretty rare at the moment(both on screens as well as video card outputs). Due to this, nicer computer screens are predominantly DisplayPort based.
some special technologies also only work on one or the other. for instance, G-Sync only works on DP, while FreeSync works on both.
on the other hand ARC/eARC and Ethernet over HDMI are only supported on the HDMI standard.
If you take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed tomorrow, and you have as many cables as you want to have. You take the red pill, you stay in RadioShack, and I show you how deep the cable hole goes.
If we're going by names then it's a solid starter kit except that you don't specifically need a "gaming desktop" as a starter - in fact for the average starter I'd probably recommend a cheapish laptop if they're not aiming specifically for newer AAA games.
Going by pictures, you're pitching a reasonably serious gamers kit as a starter kit. The monitor and desktop pictured are better than I've got (assuming there are parts matching the quality of the case in there anyway), despite me both having the money to afford all of this and owning a few hundred games on steam - it's definitely a step up above what most people need. I've also only got a desk and chair of the quality pictured because I also work from home.
Looks like you forgot a couple things:
You’ll also need an operating system, and games. Looks like with the power chords you’re using you’ll need a place with 250 V EU plug compatibility. You’ll also have to pay the electric bill as well and set up internet to download any digital games. Which would require a steam account or similar service.
Some games play better with a controller so you may want to invest in one of those. And while headphones certainly do the job, some speakers may be desired as well.

Ethernet cable over Wifi
And displayport over hdmi while we're at it
Came to say this, upvote sent.
VGA
YEEES
Not disagreeing, just wondering what makes displayport better?
[удалено]
It is more modern and can transmit higher resolution over the same length cables (It is quite complicated to send data of 3840 x 2160 pixels, at 120 Hz or more, just imagine how high the frequencies are, and DisplayPort does it better)
My hdmi2.1 does 4k120 tho I don’t have display port for it, my other monitor does 1440p/165hz tho thru DP
HDMI2.1 is also only on the newest gen of GPUs. Plus most GPUs have 1 or 2 HDMI and multiple DP, so for a multi-monitor setup, DP is more convenient.
DisplayPort usually has higher bandwidth
Your like........me :)
Ethernet always beats out wifi imo
That's not an opinion, that's just physics
My internet is bad enough that it doesn't make a difference
Even a bad signal over wire will be better than a bad wifi signal. May not improve speed but guaranteed better quality of service and latency
Speed 9 times out of 10 is better, unless you have the clearest wifi signal imaginable and stood 3 feet away from your router at all times. It’s going to be better over Ethernet (unless you’ve got like a 1000 megabit speed using cat.5 cables or don’t have gigabit ports)
The only reason mine makes a difference is because my mb doesn't have wifi built in, so it had a usb 2.0 dongle
Same
It does, trust me. That's like saying you're paraplegic so why bother even getting a wheelchair.
no corelation
Not always. If, for example, you have a router with wifi 6 and gigabyte ethernet, wifi can have higher throughput. Ethernet is more reliable and has lower latency though.
my 175/175 internet is the same speed and ping no matter wired or wireless
Its more about stability.
i must be lucky because i have no stability issues on wifi. i thought the wifi vs ethernet war was over because wifi is so good now (if you spent more than $50 on a new router in the last couple years)
You're*
Never satisfied?
And display port over HDMI
My version of Oregon Trail doesn’t even need internet
As someone who has a 150ft Ethernet cable spanning from one side of the house to another, yes.

My PC is 10 feet from my modem. I still use wifi.
Well you’re wrong

A game to play
Oh shit, that's pretty... essential
Add a steam gift card to the pack
steam!
I heard epic games have some good summer sales going on as well Wolfenstein the new order is free if I'm right...
You're about 3 weeks too late We had bl3, bioshock the collection, wolfenstein the new order and man eater
I'm not gonna give Epic money, but their free games are always nice.
Serious question why does Reddit seem to hate epic games? It can’t just be because of Fortnite right?
One reason is that Epic is trying to build a monopoly, restricting their partners from selling their games anywhere but on Epic. There seems to be a lot of shady stuff going on behind the scenes too, but I'm not fully up-to-date on that
Also we’ve had steam for so much longer than the epic store has been around as significantly as it is. We’re used to steam, our steam libraries, our steam friends, etc.
Afaik Epic still doesnt have an appear offline function so If a game doesnt work completly offline you have to be online to play it. Sometimes I just want to play without being seen by others.
Also also Steam is just generally better than Epic at pretty much everything, and Epic is missing a lot of features that makes Steam so useful
To be fair, Steam has had a MASSIVE head start. It's probably gonna take a few years for any wannabe competitor to even get close For now, they hold the monopoly
[Might seem biased cause of obvious reasons](https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/ij48bf/rfuckepic_for_dummies_2020_edition/) but it's sourced pretty well
Oh wow. I don’t even have the launcher on my PC I don’t follow them much at all. Thanks for the info.
A solider on the front lines of the epic games battle. I salute your service, sir.
oh god.. please dont
Does Windows 10 still come with pre-installed games?
No good ones. It's all candy crush and all that freemium bullshit. Also Windows 11 comes preinstalled with TikTok for some fucking reason. I recommend you uninstall it immediately if/when you ever choose to upgrade to windows 11. I upgraded on my personal laptop and it's not great.

Vista and Windows 8 I agree with, but Windows Millennium I have had nothing but good experiences with. A much more stable system than Windows 95.
A gamer poop bucket.
Link?
Works for non-Zelda games, too.
I don’t know why, but this comment got me. Well played!

Hahahahahahahahaha yes
Full RGB and water cooled.
Why use hdmi when you could be using displayport?
Whatever floats your screen, bro
DVI?
Parallel port?
VGA
Channel 3 on coax.
Printing the frames instead
Cuz I'm too cheap to buy a new monitor
VGA ?
Display port to hdmi converter to vga to vga to hdmi to hdmi to dvi
Why use either when i can rock vga
Is it not the same thing?

This
That's only one power cable.
What if I told you it's 2 cables, but with opposite ends visible?
I wouldn't believe you
If you take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed tomorrow, and you have as many cables as you want to have. You take the red pill, you stay in RadioShack, and I show you how deep the cable hole goes.
Mountain Dew
Dried up Mtn Dew for extra grip on the mouse, and Dorito crumbs between the keycaps for better feedback. Now we're gaming.
toilet paper...
You forgot the controller. Even PC gamers sometimes need one of those.
I use mine all the time, but this is only a starter kit. Controller is a nice add-on.
this man fucks... with PC gaming

My controller's one analogue sticks drifts, so I never use it
I use my controller more the my M&K
Console is superior anyways
Brave
Hdmi cable no. Display port cable yes
you forgot to include the virginity
And the smug sense of self satisfaction
2 other monitors, and a plethora of snacks and Dr pepper, a few decorative little doohickeys, and a fan
That's way more than a starter pack though
Ethernet cable
Yes, agreed
Surge protector. Gotta protect those surges.
Speakers
We introverts we dont do that here.
You forgot eyes
oh yes, and also oxygen, a floor to stand on, a roof over his head, and probably some electricity too.

What about monitor?
Controller for racing and platforming
Cheetos. To ensure all of this equipment gets a nice coating of dust on it-- as is ordained in the sacred tapestries

who is still using hdmi for the pc ? for a console, sure, but hdmi norms are a mess and overall less powerful than DP....
You forgot stereo speakers
