Good point. I'll see how it goes without it and won't buy anything else unless there's something I REALLY wanna play and can't. I bought the ram to be able to play the new D4 expansion correctly. I was crashing every time I was trying to teleport somewhere on the map lol Now it's much better :)...

Thanks for the detailed answer :) Well, I've never changed anything else than a GPU or RAM in a PC. Not sure I wanna start switching CPU and putting thermal paste. Too scared to try that lol I mainly want another GPU just to meet the minimum requirements on some game I would like to play. But...

About to buy one of those 2, does the brand makes a difference? One is ZOTAC and the other is Gigabyte https://www.facebook.com/share/19UztyJdew/ https://www.facebook.com/share/1NFX2mTs7Y/ The seller of the Gigabyte says he has opened it and cleaned and put new thermal paste. Sounds like...

yeah...hard to guess the shape it it in. Haven't game much in the past few years and I'm not a hardcore gamer but yeah, it's still 12 years old...guess it's a gamble lol

I took a look at cards a bit newer, like a 2070 but it's at least double the price. Kinda want to keep the cost low since it's a dying PC. 1070 sounds like the sweet spot Found some used ones on marketplace under 100$CAD

Hello, I was about to buy a new PC but decided to wait for the next Geforce generation. I just added some new DDR3 ram to go from 8gb to 32gb so that I could actually do stuff on my PC. (cost me less than 50$CAD so was really worth it) Was thinking about upgrading the GPU but I'm not sure...

Found this for cheap on amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0848HSZXG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A23AD5LOJUVSEP&th=1 I checked my MB specs on google and it seems to be compatible. Anyone can confirm before I order? Thanks

Hello, I'm trying to keep alive a 12 years but ram is becoming a problem. I currently have 8gb (2x4) and would like to bring it to 32gb. I don't want to mess it up and buy something that won't fit so just wanted to get some advices. My motherboard is an ASROCK Z77 Extreme4 Any cheap way to...

Hello, I was thinking about buying a pre-built PC because I don't wanna do it myself but I found a local store who could put it together for me so I'll give it a shot: Approximate Purchase Date: Next few months. I could wait if there's some crazy new CPU generation or something like that...

Well, it's 2100$CAD so like 1546$US. A build like the one posted above would cost way more than 2129$ here. The Radeon 7900 XTX is like 1300$CAD :(

I need to change my PC but I'm too lazy to put one together. I know buying a pre-built PC is really not worth it compared to buying all the pieces and building it myself...well in my case I would need to pay someone to do it cuz I don't want to so that's some extra cost. But let's say I'm...

Hello, My PC is now almost 12 years old. It's still working but I'd like to get a new one before it dies lol I got great advice here when I bought it and it lasted me over 10 years so here I am again! Approximate Purchase Date: Next few months. I could wait if there's some crazy new CPU...

Hello, My PC is now about 10.5 years old. It's still working but I'd like to get a new one before it dies lol I got great advice here when I bought it and it lasted me over 10 years so here I am again! Approximate Purchase Date: Next few months. I could wait if there's some crazy new CPU...

Thanks you all for the advices. :) After some thinking, I feel like I should stick with the custom PC but was wondering if you could modify you advice based on those 2 changes: Budget Range: 2500.00$ CAD kinda wants something a bit more powerful and 2000.00$ won't be enough, Thanks to COVID...

Is there any pre-built PC that are worth it if I don't want to go through the hassle of ordering a bunch of parts from different stores and building it myself(or pay someone else to build it for me)? Let's say with a 2500$CAD budget. I'm guessing there's some brands I would want to stay away from?
