thanks a bunch!

Jonathan Barrett said:So, what’s your absolute limit? Like, how much would you actually drop on a GPU? For some people, shelling out $300 isn't a big deal, but for others, that feels like a total rip-off.

My hard ceiling is $100. But honestly, that's the absolute max. It’d be way better if I could snag something well under that since I’ve got a bunch of other stuff to pay for too.

Do I need to include a monitor and other peripherals in the budget?

I don't need any extra gear right now. And as for the price? Basically, the lower the better—but I'm not trying to buy a paperweight here. I still want things to actually work!

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a build recommendation? I'm looking for either a pre-built setup or a list of parts for a graphic design workstation. Nothing super heavy-duty—just stuff like CorelDRAW and Photoshop should be fine. Ideally, I'm looking for something in a budget-friendly range.

Since this is for work, I’d prefer it to come with macOS pre-installed.

Thanks in advance, guys!

Feel free to shoot me a DM with any offers or ideas you have.
