The longer I wait, the more prices seem to climb. That one from Future with the 5500XT 8GB is already sold out...

Just send an inquiry to see what power supply they put in there. Given how much GPU prices have jumped, this looks alright.

Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Aaron Evans2 said:I see. What do you guys think about this build? The seller is asking about $900.

Is it worth it?

Ryzen 5 1600AF - 6 cores / 12 threads
* 2x4(8GB) DDR4 G.Skill Ripjaws V Red 2400MHz
* ASUS Prime A320M-K
* Gainward Phoenix GS GTX 1060 6GB
* Cooler Master V450
* Adata 120GB SSD
* Corsair Carbide Series

If it isn't a scam or some broken component that was fried in an oven or something... the price is great!!!

Upgrade my old desktop or just buy a new one? in Desktops ·
Jerry Murphy3 said:She’s more than welcome to look at your suggestion. I really don't mind. You're basically suggesting an Intel i3 instead of an Intel i3. Fine by me.

"I don't mind"?! After lecturing everyone about the i3 9100 having a 6692 CPU mark when the i3 10100 f hits 8845—which is over 30% faster—and then pushing expensive motherboards? It just shows you don't know what you're talking about. Maybe try actually learning before giving advice.

Saving money is $117 and, like wiredotter14 says, it might be a bit overkill, but still worth grabbing.
Help us out—where can we find the Ryzen 5 5600X for $833?

Looking at the Intel Core 11th Gen, its price compared to the AMD Ryzen 5000 series or even an i5 10600k makes it the smartest pick. Honestly, those other two just don't offer the same value for what you actually get out of them.

That would be karma.

I'm not one for summary judgment, but I think executing people who profit from or steal during natural disasters was actually a solid law.

Timothy Kim60 said:Based on what I mentioned earlier, the CPU, motherboard, and RAM should come out to about... $2167That's a solid platform. It should hold up. $167He should probably just sell that CPU for $400.$167Looking for some advice on an MBO around the $200 mark.$83Looking for some decent RAM around $150.$67 If he lists the whole setup for $100, it’ll sell like hotcakes. He could even toss in a 1TB SSD to sweeten the deal. Then he just has to wait a few months to see how the next generation of mainstream GPUs shakes out—upgrading that graphics card alone will end up costing him way more than his $7k budget. At that point, he might as well just scrap the old GTX 950. $100 Whenever he finds something, it doesn't have to be some top-tier GPU. Even an RTX 3050 or a 3050Ti with 8GB of VRAM would do the trick—it’ll still be a massive upgrade for him.

Looking for some more budget-friendly CPU alternatives to the Ryzen 7 5800X. $1233i7 10700K - $1000 (Assuming you’re using an Intel build, obviously you’ll need a different motherboard), paired with an R7 3700X. $833 Or maybe an R5 5600X would work? $900It really just comes down to whether his software relies more on single-core performance or multi-threaded power—at least until the Ryzen 5 5600 hits the shelves.

True, but if he goes through with it now, he’s also picking up a 2700x. $500 He could always just sell it in a year or two. Even right now, he'll get decent results running da Vinci with a 2060S.

If you're working with a tight budget of up to $2333, I’d suggest waiting until spring to grab a new Ryzen 5 5600. That way, you'll have more cash left over to put toward a better GPU.
But if you need to buy right now, you could pick up an R7 2700X paired with a B450 Tomahawk Max, 24GB of Kingston DDR4 RAM, and a 2060 Super. That should run you about $2333, and you can always upgrade the CPU later since the B450 board will get a BIOS update in early 2021.

DDR4 RAM and M.2 SSD prices aren't too bad right now, so you might as well grab them while they're low. You can find a 1TB M.2 SSD for less than $267, and 8GB sticks of RAM are sitting around $250-$100. Just make sure you hunt down the exact same model you're currently using. Personally, I'd go for three 8GB sticks so you end up with 32GB total.

The Corsair 550 w TX550M is 80 plus Gold rated. It goes for about $95, but you get a modular design and solid reliability out of it.

I'm wondering why the Intel Core i5-10600KF isn't getting any attention, especially since it's meant for gaming and the price is $600... it just seems like a missed opportunity.

Edward Thompson86 said:What would a graf RTX 2070 super Kfa2 be worth right now?

I might just sell it and upgrade to a new 3070 or 3080 series.

Even with the hardware shortages, you never really know who’s going to bite. Some experts might offer $1000 a certain amount, but you could potentially get $350 depending on how much warranty is left...

silverrider10 said:Hi,

I'm looking for a GPU so I can play GTA V on some low-to-medium settings at 720p.

My current setup:

-Intel i3-3220@3.30 GHz
-Asrock B75M-GL
-8GB RAM

I'd prefer to buy a new card.

up to $200 with active cooling

The next option is a 1050ti, but the price is around $367 and I'd probably need to swap the CPU for an I5 3330 or i7 3770; you can find an i5 3330 on eBay for $47.
