How set in stone are the project's and movement's names at this point? To grow faster, the project needs to make a good first impression, taking advantage of anyone's fleeting first exposure to it so a person will want to learn more and believe it could actually offer a possible real solution or they won't bother. But this name, "The Venus Project", rather than encouraging one to listen with an open mind could cause one's antennae to go up, waiting for the crazy, not realistic, "out of this world" part. I'm guessing the Venus in the Venus Project comes from Jacque being in Venus, Florida, but to any newbie "Venus" means something "out there" on other planet, and I think that makes an easily avoidable bad first impression. The "Venus Project" name doesn't sound serious to me, it sounds childish. Also the name of the movement, "Zeitgeist", is not only needlessly non-self-descriptive (we're wasting valuable exposure with a mysterious name - losing the opportunity that on each occasion when the name of the organization is mentioned, that in itself could be sending an introduction to a new idea, like if the name were Technology Solves Al Movement for a sloppy example), but it will also forever tie the movement to what some will call the conspiracy stuff (9/11, religion, etc.) because of your identically named movie Zeitgeist, and this will only distract and alienate from the RBE prize. I was in the 911 Truth Movement and saw up front & personal so many who had an instinctively negative visceral reaction to any suggestion that 9/11 was an inside job, that they would hear no more. Also, why alienate those with strong beliefs in their religion? Is it really necessary for us to first convince everyone they've been lied to about everything their whole life before introducing a sane alternative to a profit based society when there are no good jobs anymore even in the first world? People are desperate for an alternative and these other things I think are unhelpful distractions to a beginner's introduction to the possibility of another way. Activists for a new system won't get so many bites at the mainstream media exposure apple that we can afford to squander any by tying a hand behind our back with unimportant inconsequential stuff like names and logos. Perhaps if we eliminate these easily changed hurdles, the movement will grow faster and have less fact and debunking charges to respond to. Trust me, I know that responding to 911 debunking charges is a full time job in itself, it's a rabbit hole. Unless we get away from the Zeitgeist movie name, we will be linked to the what people call the "conspiracy" stuff. Of course, this suggestion should not in anyway detract from your contribution, Peter. You actually created the movement, right? and probably lots of us learned of it BECAUSE of your movie's addressing of the "conspiracy" stuff. This is truly only a request for a superficial and easily made change to de-link the V.P. and a R.B.E. with the unrelated items others deem conspiracy and/or non-positive theories. I say easily made because people's flyers, dvd sleeves, logos, stuff that is printed when needed, can be changed digitally on computers through existing technology generally available to those who print the stuff (just retyping, or simple editing, right?) and there [elbow] stockpiles of stuff with the current names on it that would be wasted I assume? Thanks in advance for your consideration, and please also address whom you think such a decision as to the movement's name should be made.

Give me a budget price and location.
No one will present a build around black Friday/cyber Monday cause we ain't physic and most here will be to busy looking for shit for themselves.
I can max POE for cheap and costly depending on resolution and other factors hence my requirement for a budget, everyone's financials are different.
No one can promise in 5 years that your pc will be relevant or worth upgrading either. Generally upgrading is reserved for those with limited budgets
but instant needs for a pc. Whats required to max the game today can change with future updates. Finally if I make something now it may not be relevant
come your purchase time as prices fluctuate so you can get a rough idea from me now or wait and hope someone responds to you during the blitz.

Uhh
Microcenter has some fair prebuilts.
I looked at their PowerSpec G228.

B460 Chipset
I5 10400
Gtx 1660 Super
16gbs of memory.

No idea what their power supply is that's the only issue.
Costs maybe a 100 bucks over parts? Has some upgrade paths depending if that PSU is from a reputable brand.

Would run dual 1080p monitors no problem and fit your needs.
