Right, I'm looking to fill the space left under my tv that was left by my old xbox. And for a while now I've been dying to play some old classics.
Thought I'd build myself a gaming rig, something that could technically play a few modern games but in reality will predominantly be used for emulation (dont worry mods - no talk of roms here).
I'm looking to build something over time, as I don't have bags of cash to throw around... and something in a relatively compact form.
I know I could go for a single board setup, but I fancy going upto ps2 with some upscaling which pretty much rules out pi4's etc.
I do have a spare gtx980 kicking around which might work for something - but I'm.open to going for something else.
Budget wise, i don't really have one as I'm looking for this to be a longer project, but I'm looking at hundreds over all rather than thousands.
Case wise, as I said - something compact but with enough space for a dedicated GPU.
It will be connected to a 65" lg cx oled if that makes a difference.
Any tips on a starting point? Get the case and buy components to fit - or vice versa?
Anyone running an emulation rig that cares to share specs and performance?
