My penpal and I were talking about a particular video game and I wanted to
tell him: _"The PC version (of the game) has its release date someday next
month and I just can't wait any longer!"_

> **PC** 版の発売日はいつか来月なの **で** もうこれ以上待てませんよ！

The above sentence was my attempt, but now that I wrote it I'm not really sure
if I used 「で」 correctly here. Is there a better/more natural way of saying it,
not just the "and" part but maybe the whole sentence in general?

I would appreciate any type of feedback/corrections as I'm still a novice.

question
grammar nuances syntax
Is it correct to use で in this sentence if I want to convey "and"?
Your translation of "and" is not wrong, but your grammatical interpretation
may be wrong.

> AはBなので

is

> AはB + 連体形 of 助動詞 "だ" + 接続助詞 "ので".

However, "ので" means "because", and it may not fit your example. Ending the
first clause with 連用形 (in this case "で" from "だ") or 接続助詞 "が" (in this case
"だが") looks better.

Apart from "and", "いつか来月" does not make sense and should be "来月のいつか".

My translation would be:

> PC版は来月発売ですが、待ち切れません。  
>  I'm very looking forward to playing the PC version, which will be released
> next month.

or

> PC版が来月発売で、待ち切れません。  
>  As PC version is released soon, I'm always thinking about it.
