I'd love to see your build sheet. I love to tinker with builds on pcpartpicker. Pick parts. Build your PC. Compare and share. - PCPartPickerGPU arriving tomorrow.
Yeah, I could not justify the prices for the negligible performance increase of the 50 series cards. 12-15% jump is not what I expected. So yeah, I went 4070 Ti Super, so I'm getting 16 GB and with the mobo I got, I can upgrade for years to come.Sweet, I love building a new computer. I think I am going to skip the 5000 series Nvidia cards. I got a 4090 so I am good for a bit.
I built my first rig in 98. I think it had a 200 mHz intel CPU. It's a good way to stay in touch with the changes. Say, what do you do with all your old computers? I have boxes of old parts, video cards, hard drives, ram and transformers. I hate to throw it all away but I do want to get rid of it.I just built a new PC because MS decided my 8 core 3.1 GHz CPU was inadequate. I couldn't use windows 11 because some cpu security socket was missing. Piss on MS.
Anyway, I purchased an AMD Ryzen 5 9600 and MSI MB on sale at Newegg. Also a 1000 watt PSU, 32 gigs DDR and a 1 Tb Mdrive. The hard part was finding a video card at a reasonable price. I found one on Amazon (RT 6600 XT) for only $266. It turns out, that it was a refurb and I missed that part (a new one costs almost twice that). I tried it, it works great so I'm happy. I have lots of room for upgrades and I didn't break the bank.
lol. I built my first computer in the early 90's. It was an i386. Had a massive 40MB Hard Drive and 256k of RAM. I always gave my computers away when I built a new one, or I used them for servers. Even made a router out of one of them hehe.I built my first rig in 98. I think it had a 200 mHz intel CPU. It's a good way to stay in touch with the changes.
