My other issue is I really don't know what is current and what isnt. I remember there was some mess with the NVIDEA cards a year or 2 again where the new ones were not any better than the old ones and were self destructing to boot but I just dont remember which they were to avoid them
The one I mentioned actually came from Asus.
IBuyPower is basically a PC builder. Essentially they do the legwork buying the individual parts from manufacturers then put it together in one of their branded cases. Liquid cooling is a lot better than it was early on. The only real standout Nvidia story that comes to mind in the past couple years was an issue shortly after the launch of either the GTX4080 or GTX4090 where it was apparently melting the power cable.

Out of the 4 games you mentioned No Man's Sky is probably the heaviest hitter for resource usage once you start turning settings up.
