I was planning to buy a RTX 4070 for my build, but the prices right now are way higher than I’d like to spend... My budget for the GPU is around $400–$450.Current planned build:CPU: Ryzen 7 5700XCooler: Thermalright Peerless AssassinMotherboard: B550RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHzStorage: 1TB NVMePSU: 750W GoldCase: Fractal Pop AirWhat’s a good GPU alternative in that price range that won’t bottleneck this build? Should I wait for prices to drop, or is there a clear “best value” option right now?? Thanks!!

I put together this $1200 build and want to hear your thoughts before I pull the trigger. Main use is 1440p gaming with some light editing.Here’s the list:

Hey y'all!! This will be my first ever build, so I want to make sure I haven’t made any rookie mistakes before I order the parts. Budget is about $1000–$1100.Here’s what I’ve picked so far:CPU: Intel i5-13600KCooler: Thermalright Peerless AssassinGPU: RX 7800 XTMotherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR5RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHzStorage: 2TB NVMe Gen4PSU: 750W GoldCase: Lian Li Lancool 216Here are my questions:

I’ve had my current PC for a while and I think it’s time for some upgrades. Here are my current specs:

I need some help putting together a quiet $900 build. I’ll be using it for office work during the day (lots of multitasking, spreadsheets, Zoom) and 1080p gaming in the evenings (single-player titles & some light online multiplayer).My priorities:Quiet operation (no jet engine fans if possible)Reliable performance for years, with the option to upgrade laterGood airflow but not a bulky caseCan anyone put together a solid parts list for me? I don’t need peripherals or Windows. SSD storage is fine as don’t need huge capacity.

Hi everyone, I’ve been putting together a build with a budget of around $1200. My main use will be 1440p gaming (mostly AAA titles + some esports) and a bit of light video editing.Here’s the parts list I have so far:CPU: Intel i5-13400FCooler: DeepCool AK400GPU: RX 7700 XTMotherboard: B660 or B760 (not sure which yet)RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHzStorage: 1TB NVMe Gen4PSU: 650W GoldCase: NZXT H5 FlowMy main questions:

I’ve narrowed my next build down to two possible part lists, but I can’t decide which is the smarter choice long-term. Both would mainly be for gaming and light streaming.Option A (higher performance, approx. $1,500):i7-13700KF, RTX 4070 Ti, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, 850W PSUOption B (cheaper, approx. $1,200):Ryzen 5 7600, RX 7800 XT, 16GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, 750W PSUDo you think the performance jump in Option A is worth the extra cost, or should I save money with Option B and upgrade down the line?

Hi,This is the list I’ve drafted for a new PC. Budget is around $1,000. My goal is smooth 1080p and 1440p gaming on modern titles.CPU: Ryzen 7 5700XGPU: RX 7800 XTMotherboard: MSI B550 Gaming PlusRAM: 16GB DDR4 3600MHzStorage: 1TB NVMe SSD + 2TB HDDPSU: Cooler Master MWE 650 BronzeCase: Lian Li 216Do you think the CPU and GPU are balanced, or would you adjust? Also not sure if the 650W PSU is enough or if I should go higher. Any thoughts on the case airflow would also help!!

I’m looking to upgrade my GPU and could use some advice. My current build:CPU: Ryzen 7 5800XGPU: RTX 3060 TiRAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHzPSU: EVGA 750W GoldI game mostly at 1440p, sometimes 4K, and I’d like better performance in demanding titles (Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077). I’m debating between the RTX 4070 Super, and RX 7800 XT. I am open to something else I might not be considering. I am looking for the best option for performance and longevity.
