I just had a horrible experience with Assassins game purchased through Steam. I had bought the game few years back. Played some and stopped. And deleted my Ubisoft account. This week I downloaded the game again hoping to play it. I created a new Ubisoft account but the game wouldn’t launch.

Hours spent with the support got me nowhere. In summary, their response is that since the original Ubisoft account was linked to the purchase, they cannot now link the game to the new account.

I provided the Steam proof of purchase but that didn’t help.

Steam support didn’t help either.

I can’t play a game I purchased and own.

This should be illegal!

Good catch. Thanks for the clarification.

Unless your mind is set on the cooler, I recommend Thermalright which I used in my recent build. Works great!

After much deliberation I ended up with the following build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RCNvwc

It all went great. Still waiting for the graphics card to arrive.

Thank you all for the comments!

I don’t know what’s different but Corsair 1000W (2023) is cheaper than the 2021 version. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYQHWJXC?psc=1

Consider 980 PRO instead of 970 EVO. In my country, it is $10 more on Amazon but the rated read/write speeds are significantly higher.

I’m trying to find out the difference between Solidigm and Samsung Evo. They both state “NVMe”. Can you help me understand how they are different?

I switched from Gmail to iCloud and from iCloud to Fastmail. Couldn’t be happier. Give it a try.

Thank you! I liked the “as-needed” approach. Will drop the HDD from my build.

What I had in mind was 1440p 144hz

Any thoughts on how to go about running the cable from 2nd floor to 1st floor where the cable modem and router are? Sounds like a job for which I would need to hire someone.

What would be a better option for the graphics card? Top tier cards can go more than $1k. I just don’t know where to stop without breaking the bank.

Thank you for your thoughts! Only reason I picked the ssd is perceived reliability. Hoping to keep the machine for at least 10 years. I don’t expect the hdd randomly failing but you never know. Maybe I need to research the storage option a little bit more.
