Something like that. A CPU for about $100, maybe a motherboard for 250...

It looks like Best Buy and ASUS are keeping the momentum going...

So, did you manage to find a price click

By the way, yesterday there was an ASUS 470 listed for $490 in that link, but they sold out fast. Now you can grab one for $527 over at Best Buy
.
I’d suggest watching Battlefield 1 benchmarks on YouTube. Bottom line: it'll run, though obviously, the 470 will perform noticeably better

I’m assuming the 58 is the newer model (that seems to be the pattern LG has been following lately)

- there's a difference in the stand design
- the 58 offers a higher refresh rate (75Hz compared to 60Hz), an extra DVI-D port, and two additional features—Super-resolution and Automatic Standby, according to the official product page. For the full breakdown, you're better off digging into some professional reviews.

Look, you could have easily grabbed an RX 460 for a bargain price instead, you know?
And honestly, if you weren't planning on swapping out the CPU, you really should have prioritized getting the best GPU possible within your $333 budget. There’s just no logic in settling for a weaker card when you're spending the exact same amount of cash.

It looks like you might have been taken for a ride by some overpriced local Store. There’s a link in the SB, plus an RX 460 for $333, and even an R7 360 for around 800 bucks.

By the way, regardless of how weak the CPU is, there is absolutely no logic in opting for something even worse for the same amount of money.

Once again, you could have simply asked which GPU is the best choice for $333 😁

Wait, what?

So after months of delays, we finally have the NVIDIA GTX 1080 back in stock at decent prices.

Besides those warnings, have you actually monitored the VRAM usage during gameplay using something like MSI Afterburner?
Did you double-check to make sure you're running the 4GB version? You should verify that with Speccy, GPU-Z, or a similar tool.

Where exactly are you seeing that? Which program are you using?
Did you check during gameplay? Try something like MSI Afterburner.

wiredotter14 said:an HD 7850 pulls significantly more power than an RX 460.

I wouldn't say that's quite accurate. Looking at the benchmarks, the 460 (especially the one requiring a 6-pin connector) draws about 80-90W, whereas these local HD 7850 models we have here sit right around 110W during heavy gaming. The Pitcairn architecture was actually a pretty impressive chip.

Personally, you might want to hold out for the GTX 1050. Even if you decide against it, the 460 will likely see a price drop soon enough.

It’s actually cheaper over in Canada 😬

Just a heads-up: when I'm hunting for parts, I try to keep my search terms as broad as possible so I don't accidentally filter out good deals—like searching for "OC" models. For this specific card, I'm sticking strictly to Gigabyte because they don't really offer any standard reference designs, and I already know this particular model doesn't require a 6-pin connector.

Unfortunately:

- There aren't any decent GPU deals to be found until $200. To put it bluntly, you're just trading one headache for another. We won't see anything remotely worthwhile—meaning actual value for your money—until we hit the $900-$333 range.
- As I mentioned before, the AM1 platform is a dead end for this kind of upgrade; those processors simply can't handle a significantly better GPU, and frankly, they struggle to run most modern games even on their own.

You essentially missed the mark entirely with this purchase.

I noticed Google.com has a slightly better deal on this one ($352)

Option two would be to hold out for a cheaper GTX 1650. It might be slightly less powerful, but if you find one at a reasonable price point—say, around $433—you could potentially squeeze an SSD into your budget as well.

It officially drops in five days. We might see it hit the shelves here the same day, but it’ll definitely be available by November.

Whatever works for you, though it’s a bit of a shame you didn't do your homework before pulling the trigger instead of after the fact. It is what it is.

I could really use some help here (assuming this is even a known issue). You should try checking those temperatures using a different software package—I once saw a guy where Speccy was reporting over 100°C on his 1151 motherboard 🤣

Look, all laws carry equal legal weight. There aren't "stronger" or "weaker" ones; only the Constitution and international treaties sit above the rest. While the ZOP covers general principles, the specific statute you're citing addresses a very precise situation—contracts entered into remotely or outside of a business establishment. Laws can't effectively function if they contradict one another; one doesn't simply nullify the other.

It’s definitely possible; it explicitly states "without providing a reason." Of course, this applies if you made the purchase remotely. Some retailers (outside the PC niche) actually have this policy clearly outlined for instance,
