Yeah, that GPU shouldn't really be a dealbreaker. As long as they aren't planning on gaming, the GTX 1030 is plenty fine enough.

The 750 Ti is definitely the more powerful card, but paying that much $167 is just plain crazy. The gtx 1030 performs similarly to the gtx 750 but costs only $193 and comes with a 3-year warranty. Plus, it draws less power—which isn't a huge deal—but since it uses a passive cooler, you don't even have to worry about a fan dying on you.

Keep an eye on Craigslist and tech forums; you can snag an i7 2600k or an i7 3770k for next to nothing (around $400 or even less). If you sell off your current i5 2500k for something like $200, the net cost is minimal. You can just pop those i7s in and save your extra cash to score a massive GPU upgrade later—maybe a GTX 1070/1080 or something with similar muscle.

It would also be helpful to specify which programs are being used

They’re saying the final price is $160.

Black Widow - $128. If I hadn't already committed to a new case, I would definitely be grabbing this one.

On the PC site, they have the final price listed at $150, which works out to roughly $350

It's a solid deal.

I can't speak to how that specific game will run, but looking at the big picture, you're definitely going to see a massive upgrade by moving away from a dual-core setup.

Hey, you might want to check the motherboard manufacturer's website to see if that CPU requires a BIOS update first.

The price is pretty average, honestly. It’s not some incredible steal, but it’s certainly not a rip-off either.

Great. It isn't quite the steal it was last year ($110), but it’s still a solid deal. Now the real question is whether someone should grab it while they can, or if they want to play it safe, act cheap, and gamble on waiting for even lower prices during Black Friday or Cyber Monday Week. The risk is that by then, the price might not drop any further—or worse, it'll be completely sold out.

A PC build in the $2,600$900 range and up (not including a monitor or games). Monitors aren't worth much; if you find one for $100$50, that's fine, but for serious gaming, I wouldn't count on it.

Same goes for roughly $883 😁

There are some basic 4GB versions available for about $5 less, but honestly, there’s zero point in grabbing those when you can have these two instead.

Yeah, I was looking at the Spanish site. That 750GB deal was actually on the UK Amazon, I think, but this 525GB one popped up on another European Amazon after I checked the Spanish listing—maybe the German one.

I kept an eye on prices and picked up 😁 (around $110 for the MX300 525GB), though the 750GB version wasn't even much more expensive. After that, I grabbed a Logitech Z130 for about $50 with free shipping—not exactly a steal, but a decent enough find. You could also scroll back through this thread to

Best Buy and Amazon have already kicked off their pre-Black Friday sales, so you might want to watch your back. I heard they had about 70 units of the ASUS Dual GTX 1050 3gb listed for $500 over at Amazon, but they were gone

Bottom line

You’ve got two ways to play this when the time comes: grab a used i7 3770k or an i7 2600k if you can snag a killer deal, or just wait and swap out the entire platform once you're ready for an upgrade. For now, you're sitting pretty with 1440p Assassin's Creed Origins

For 2D work, the GPU shouldn't really be a factor at all; benchmarks show virtually zero difference between integrated graphics and even the most high-end dedicated cards. You'll likely run into bottlenecks elsewhere first.

Regarding Pix4D, that's possible, but you have to consider how much the CPU impacts performance. The requirements are quite demanding—you might actually find yourself needing to overhaul the entire PC.

Fortunately, we've seen some great leaps in the processor market over the last six months—specifically regarding core counts and massive price drops for the same performance—but those high-end GPUs remain incredibly expensive...
