Hey, crimsonstag84, if you could do me a huge favor and list out those components and snap a photo like you did above? (for that $333 bit, maybe less detail)
Basically, if I go with this option which is $333 cheaper, am I going to deal with lag? Will it run at a decent temperature without overheating, or are we talking about junk parts here?
Thanks!

And what’s the bare minimum I’d need to spend on a setup to run Grand Theft Auto V on normal settings? That includes the monitor, peripherals, and everything else...

Will they put it all together for me?
I’m not exactly a tech expert, so I’m asking here.
Is this rig beefy enough for Grand Theft Auto V? Will I actually be able to run it on High settings?😁

Also, if it can't handle that, any suggestions for something up to $1333? How would Grand Theft Auto V run on that—maybe just on low?

Yeah, I think that would be a good move too 😉

I think it’s finally time to pull the trigger on a desktop since my laptop just kicked the bucket. 😁
I’m not exactly a tech wizard, so I’m turning to you guys for some guidance.
I’m looking to pick up a machine for up to $1000 $1667 so I can actually run Grand Theft Auto V
.
I was thinking about checking out local shops—anywhere near Scranton would work,
though I'm open to other options.

It’s hard to tell right now, but a buddy of mine is swinging by with a spare screen and a cable so we can figure out if this is just a hardware glitch.

I don't think I have one, honestly—I’m pretty clueless when it comes to computer hardware

I just shove it into whatever case fits the frame

I’ve already tried power cycling this thing five times now, and it just keeps timing out
But still, absolutely nothing
The screen is technically working, but when I boot up the PC, there’s just total darkness on the monitor

Is it possible I actually fried something major here??

Urgent help needed!
I have a desktop setup, and since it was getting pretty dusty, I decided to give it a quick blast with some compressed air. I took everything apart, including pulling out both the large and small heatsinks to blow them out, but now that I’ve put the whole rig back together and tried to power it up...
Absolutely nothing is showing up on the screen. Just total darkness.

Did I somehow fry something? I’m honestly not tech-savvy enough to know if it’s the motherboard, the RAM, or who knows what else.
Or could it just be the cable connecting the PC to the screen? Please, any advice would be a lifesaver right now.
