Do you think I could actually run PUBG if I put in a GT 103? I'm currently sitting at 4GB of RAM, though I could probably add another 4GB if it's necessary... Or should I just look into getting a different Graphics Card altogether?
Jamie Bishop192 said:I picked up a 1 TB SanDisk StoreJet 25m3 about a month ago. I’d read some glowing reviews before pulling the trigger, and honestly, it’s worth every penny. They also make a 2TB version if you need more space. My favorite part is definitely the rugged rubber casing—it makes it feel incredibly secure against accidental drops.
I actually have one of those SanDisk drives myself, though mine is an older 250GB model from about ten years ago. It has taken quite a few hits over the years, but it hasn't missed a beat. It still works perfectly! I can't recommend the SanDisk models with the rubber housing enough.
Well, damn. I just got word that the item I wanted isn't available from the importer after all. Does anyone have a recommendation for a different drive?
Hey everyone. So, I'm working with this GA-EP45-DS3L motherboard. mellowtiger83 helped me out with the graphics card selection, but I have a few more questions. Right now, I've got 4GB of RAM and an old 80GB hard drive. I'm currently on the hunt for an SSD, a decent HDD, a new power supply, and whatever else I might need to keep this rig running reliably for a while longer. The CPU inside is a Q6600 2.4... Should I look into upgrading the processor? If so, what would be the best fit for this specific board?
Does anyone have any advice on what I should pick up? Honestly, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to PC hardware—I'm about as lost as a tourist in downtown Chicago.

The board is a Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L.

Which GPU would be the better choice for this setup? Should I go with the Radeon HD 4650 or the Nvidia 9600? The Radeon has 1GB of DDR2 memory, whereas the Nvidia has 512MB of DDR3.
Are any of the RAM modules from this link actually compatible? If so, which specific one? It looks to me like the ones in the first photo would work with my setup.
A friend of mine is trying to breathe some life into an old junker, but he really needs more RAM to make it usable. Does anyone know which sticks are compatible with this motherboard? Any specific brands or specs you'd recommend??
crimsonstag84 said:Not really. That power supply is bottom-of-the-barrel stuff; you should look at at least an EVGA 400W. Honestly, I don't think it makes sense to drop an extra $400 on a Ryzen 5 1400. You’d get much more bang for your buck by putting that money toward a better power supply, a solid motherboard, some faster RAM, or even a case with USB 3.0. Also, I’d steer clear of those 120GB SSDs—you can grab one twice that size for just a tiny bit more. $67 It's on the pricier side. You might want to look into picking up a used hard drive instead.
I've been looking into the MSI B350M PRO-VD plus. It's an AM4 socket board, specifically model 7B38-004R. I’m looking at the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 BOX. It’s running at 3.10GHz with an 8MB cache on the AM4 socket. Just checking out the specs on this one. PNY CS900 240GB SSD, SATA 3.0, SSD7CS900-240-PB MS HUNTER Mid-tower case. I’m looking at a single 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM—specifically the Kingston HyperX Fury CL15, part number HX424C15FB2/8. It runs at 2400MHz with a latency of CL15. Just wanted to get this on the record. I’m running a Galax GTX 1060 EX with 3GB of GDDR5 and a 192-bit bus, clocked at 1733/2000MHz. For power, I've got an EVGA 400W unit that meets the ATX 2.4 standard.

Will my current setup handle the new Call of Duty: WWII without any issues? That’s actually the main reason I was looking into getting a Ryzen 5.
Could someone please help me squeeze the absolute best value out of a $5,500 budget? I want to be able to run the new Call of Duty: WWII smoothly, and ideally, I’d like to have enough breathing room with my RAM and GPU so I don't have to worry about upgrades for at least two or three years.
