Still a few weeks before I get it as I need to travel to pick it up but here's the rundown:
ATX case with 2 x 120mm fans
500watt FSP Hydro PSU
Gigabyte B150M Motherboard
Intel Core I7 7700 CPU, 3.6ghz x 4, 4.2ghz turbo, Hyperthreading
16gb Kingston Hyper X 2400mhz DDR4 Ram
Geforce GTX1070 8gb DDR5 Graphics Card
1tb SATA3 Hard Drive
240gb SSD
24" Viewsonic 1ms response, Full HD LED monitor
Not the most ferocious beast out there but a pretty decent system. Can't wait to take it for a drive.

A Simsplanation
Dear Reader,
If it seems to have been a while since my last post you'd be right, and if it also seems to be an eternity since I posted any content actually worth reading you'd be two for two.
The primary reason is I don't really game anymore. My laptop isn't really for gaming and my gaming computer has been outdated for a while now, haven't even turned it on for the last few months. Everything I do on my phone or tablet these days. Real life has been pretty packed. Work is crazy, I do administration for British Petroleum better known by its initials BP. Socially things have been pretty good, in recent years I've really come into my own. Last November I hosted a great Gatsby themed ball which I consider among my greater social achievements.

But all of this adds to a life that has little room for blogging and gaming. But that is all set to change!
I'm currently having a new gaming system built, nothing too insane but still a fairly powerful beast. Once it's arrived I plan on diving right back in. I have in mind to get back into building, always my favourite part of Simming. I have already done some CC for Sims 4 but I don't think that's the path for me really, same with machinima, I did one in Sims 4 but it's not really what I want to do. I'm planning on doing speed building videos and seeing if anyone is much interested, I may start a new YouTube channel and maybe even eventually a new blog, While the SimRomanov days were fun and I had moderate success I think I've let it die somewhat and it's time to break with the past and start a new, though don't hold me to this I may change my mind. Whether or not my future Simming endeavours prove successful though at least I'll have some fun.
Happy Simming,
SR
P.S. So I've spent the last little while trying to catch up with the Sims world via old TMN (which by the way is so reassuring to see is still going and still looks the same, Lady Grantham will be pleased)
I can't help but smile to know that MadameLee is still around to provide a good laugh. What a Simblr or a Dumblr is I couldn't tell you. I feel like an old man who doesn't know where the start button is. Wish me luck, I'm sure I'll get there.
If anyone actually reads this, bless your little cottonsocks.

It's Been Too Long
I forgot my email.
It is sim_romanov.
But it's been so long I forgot the underscore.
The underscore!
I'm also very tired so this post is gonna be really badly formatted, but it's kinda on purpose; in the same way that hispters have those Hercule Poirot moustaches.
Life has been somewhat demanding of late, I'm doing fine, just growing tired of people trying to be my mentor or role model. I currently have two people trying to each take me under their idiomatic wing. Their main goal seems to be criticising my decisions and belittling my achievements. Newsflash: "You could do better" is among the many things one should never say when trying to encourage someone.
A few of you may know I enjoy writing fictional stories and would love to be a writer (although you probably can't tell from my apparently poor understanding of the English language). I tell you this so you understand how upset I was when told "writing stories is a waste of time". Also I have apparently been giving too much priority to my social life. Being that only a few years ago I can recall crying alone in my bedroom because I felt I had no friends, being criticised for being too social cam as a complete surprise. I don't even think I'm doing that poorly in life at the moment so the crtisicm I've been getting has really hit me. I think I need these people out of my life but it can be quite difficult to remove people, especially when they seem to have made you their pet project.
In other news winter is fast approaching and it is my goal to try skiing this year. Last year we moved to a new town and now I'm very close to the mountain so I'm determined to take full advantage this winter season.
I've also decided to go Paleo again because my eating choices of late have been less than sensible. I actually enjoy the Paleo diet, it is really a matter of preparation for me. As long as I set aside the time to plan and make my meals it really goes quite well. Too often I fall victim to the convenience of the local fish and chip shop 😝
Now I'm at the end of my post and I realise that I started formatting it properly even though I said I wouldn't. Such inconsistency won't be tolerated!
Do Svidanya!

QUEEN ELIZABETH:
She's been ruling for like ages now, longer than old Victoria even, and today she celebrates being the longest ruling monarch. Many people are thanking her for her years of service, but what was her service? What is her end game?
Queen Elizabeth
Doing Whatever it takes to keep Charles off the throne!
And in case you think Charles wouldn't look so bad on your bank notes (here in NZ we still have the monarch on our coins and notes) let me remind you this lady will be queen consort...
But hey with Camilla as Queen consort there's a chance India will bring itself back into the empire and make her Empress...considering India holds her as a sacred creature.
