    Build Advice Thoughts on this gaming build? Specifically CPU & GPU

    Something like this would work, I definitely recommend you check out amd's RX 9000 series. Also you can look for an RTX 5000 series card as well with the budget that you have to work with. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-xt-pulse/34.html PCPartPicker Part List CPU...

    News PC prices up at least 15%: Trump Tariffs may hurt U.S. system integrators most

    This just reads as a bad justification for bad policy, good policy should not first inflict uneeded harm. It's also a bad negotiating tactic, sure you may get some people to talk to you now, but it'll drive them away in the long run. It's generally short sighted, and not well thought out for the...

    News PC prices up at least 15%: Trump Tariffs may hurt U.S. system integrators most

    Given these, changes, I wonder how many system integrators and parts manufacturers wont be in the space anymore in the next few years. Since it looks like people will likely be buying less going forward, these policies may lead to a decent sized contraction. If you have some money available, I...

    Question What is the best GPU for an Xeon 1270v3 without a bottleneck?

    About the highest i would go is around an RX 6600 (XT) or RTX 3060. You'll be cpu bottlenecked, but you should be able to get most of the performance out of those GPU's. A short list would include: GTX 1070 GTX 1080 GTX 1080 TI RTX 2070 RTX 2080 RTX 3060 RTX 3060 TI RX 5700 RX 5700 XT RX 6600...

    News RX 9070 GRE is reportedly in development to provide an affordable entry point into RDNA 4

    I'll be curious to see what specs it will offer and how it will perform for its price bracket. It'll likely be unobtainium for a while, but we'll see how it shakes out.

    Building a PC for under $600?

    No worries, we are here to help hah. You also don't have to go with any one of our builds, they're all just suggestions. You could just pick and choose parts that you like from a few of them until you have a whole system assembled that would work for you.

    Building a PC for under $600?

    I would definitely take a look at LGA 1700 if you're looking for a budget platform. As much as i like AM4, it doesn't have the same future upgrade potential as LGA 1700. I took your base and upgraded and tweaked the motherboard, ram, ssd, and psu options. Its only about 20 dollars more, but it...

    Question Gigabyte H61M-DS2 3.0 with Gt 1030?

    The GT 1030 should work fine with an i3 2100 and that motherboard, but that PSU is an old unit. Most of the info i found on it is from 2012 to 2015, so its at least 10 years old. I cant find any quality information on it either. Wattage wise, provided it isn't lying about how much it supports...
