hmmm

#

Its all related to new update

cold elbow

just stop losing stuff

vapid grove
#

How do you just lose a monitor. Kind of a large item to misplace PeepoWeird

jovial tide
#

very strange

#

and according to my researches so far, it is the panel's problem and is not repairable Sadge

when I leave the window open my pc would just turn on then immediately turn off, then never turn on again. Anyone know why?

I tried searching it up, but nothing

jovial tide
#

you mean setting something like a video as wallpaper?

unborn perch

im going 2 sleep

no free live wallpaper

loud gazelle
#

im guessing no one on here codes

jovial tide
loud gazelle
#

?

jovial tide
#

Do you have coding question i mean?

loud gazelle
#

No, I’m just wondering if anyone codes so I can talk to them because I do code

jovial tide
#

what langs you working on?

loud gazelle
#

C#

jovial tide
#

hmmm

#

never touched that one yet

loud gazelle
#

I tried making a game but it didn’t turn out so well

jovial tide
#

what are your sources?

loud gazelle
#

Sources? Sorry I’ve only been at it for around a day.

jovial tide
#

a day and you start making games?

loud gazelle
#

Yes

jovial tide
#

genius

loud gazelle
#

I made a tube that can move left and right

jovial tide
#

any other langs you interested in?

loud gazelle
#

Java a bit

#

Idk many of the other ones

jovial tide
#

noice, I know abit of java

loud gazelle
#

What does python do

pliant lynx
#

u can always try stackoverflow

jovial tide
#

I think python is for websites

loud gazelle
#

Ohhh

jovial tide
#

I know Netflix, Spotify, etc use python programming

loud gazelle
#

Cool

jovial tide
#

well, python is a well polished, optimized lang which you can both do OOP and functional code with it, it mainly reigns the webapp area

#

but it can be used anywhere

loud gazelle
#

What’s OOP

jovial tide
#

object oriented programming like java

loud gazelle
#

The fu

jovial tide
#

I want to get into python but idk a YouTube vid that can help me

#

and function based like C

loud gazelle
#

Oh ok

#

This is both confusing and not

jovial tide
#

to this day, I find python the most fun lang I've ever touched

loud gazelle
#

I might try it then

#

In the morning though it’s 1 am

jovial tide
#

a program with 100 lines for example in Java can be done more efficiently in like 20-30 lines of code in python

loud gazelle
#

Coool

jovial tide
#

thats one of its advantages

loud gazelle
#

Nice

#

Could you tell me something you made with it? I like to know something you can make just so I know what to do

jovial tide
#

nothing serious yet, Im still a noob in python, I just wish I picked this lang instead of C and java

loud gazelle
#

Ok but is there something you are working towards perhaps?

jovial tide
#

Yes, webapps and Flask imo is an interesting area for beginning, it involves also abit of SQL code which is very useful

#

Are you in college taking python?

loud gazelle
#

Me?

jovial tide
#

No

jovial tide
loud gazelle
#

Python is a college thing?

jovial tide
#

How are you learning it? Like off YouTube or something?

#

Yea

jovial tide
loud gazelle
#

Sheesh I’m going to college in a long time

jovial tide
loud gazelle
#

Not

jovial tide
#

also the python documentation website can be considered as a nice reference book itself

#

Ok I appreciate it, I’m new to this programming stuff and I want to learn it

#

nice

#

and if you wanna get into serious business in programming area, dont you ever rely on college stuff

#

they literally teach you nothing

#

Ok thanks cause I was planning on going to college

#

Is there a trade school for programming?

#

Or I was planning to learn python then go to college just to get the diploma

jovial tide
#

Ok thank you, I was nervous cause I had a feeling that something like would happen

#

nothing will happen if you believe in yourself my friend, I dont know why people think they can only learn stuff in school and college

#

Trust me I know but my parents are old school

#

I hope you're not misunderstanding me here, im not encouraging you to leave school or college or whatever, Im just saying the content they teach in there can't compete with the real world professional needs

#

No I understand you completely I do plan on going to college but I didn’t know that they would provide little information on python which was what I was worried about

#

yes, If you're really interested in this firm and want to find a job related to your interest in the future, you must dive deeper ,much deeper than the college stuff

#

if you're just a hobbyist/enthusiast , then thats a different thing

simple kraken
#

Hi

#

Hi

#

Hi

#

🙂

jovial tide
#

hey

simple kraken
#

Hey

jovial tide
#

This is pretty new to me, I’m doing programming because it was recommended as a good job to pursue

jovial tide
#

mind if I ask

#

17

#

thats alright

#

if ure pursuing python, you better get into linux world along with it, thats more like a preference thing but you can learn linux along with python which can give you wider job opportunities in future, since python rules the web area and is a server-side language and most webservers are linux servers.

#

Ok thanks I will

timid cipher
#

wow ok

#

cant send links but on awesomeopensource dot com/projects/python you can see all of the interesting things you can make with python

#

also a lot of frameworks and apis you may find useful

wraith plover

(exactly as anime )

#

also i've been trying things in blender

#

this lil b&ch took 3 hours on 3080

timid cipher
#

that is a very cool 3 hour render in 2 seconds

#

i enjoy it

#

how many anime shows and stuff are in your drive

#

on your

#

in your drive sounds weird

wraith plover
#

also limited my blender as i was playing games and doing other things

#

so 3 hour is justified

wraith plover
timid cipher
#

have you interpolated anime yet

vestal parrot
#

how much you paid for the 100tb

timid cipher
#

wait yeah actually how much

wraith plover
#

Do you actually buy computer parts with loan?

wraith plover
#

i've been upgrading since years now

#

especially storage part

kindred temple
#

3.99/annum

Sounds like loan to me

wraith plover

@wraith ploverWas that 3 hours on Cycles, without Optix?

wraith plover
#

huh? didn't get ya

brave field
#

Your render time, what settings were you using for that?

#

3 hours on a 3080 is scary slow, vanilla EEVEE and Cycles + Optix should be much faster even with other programs running, no?

wraith plover
#

well re8 village is a fkin ram sucker

#

37 gigs on 4k max

#

with 78-80fps

brave field
#

ah

#

I've been thinking of getting an RTX GPU for my render times, but I'm unsure if I should be using EEVEE's renderer for that or Cycles + Optix for the fastest render times

#

Strangely, Optix has seemed to be faster, which is completely insane considering it can be almost fully photorealistic

wraith plover
#

do get huge amounts of ram

#

uk it always gets in handy

#

and yes rendering 4k eats up ur processes

arctic trench
#

this any good

#

i was thinking of buing a pc off offerup/facebook market place

stone harbor
#

240gb ssd yikesKimi

vapid grove
#

Almost $800 and they give you a 560 and 240gb

stone harbor
#

yeah

vapid grove
#

And 8gb RAM running single channel

stone harbor
#

oof

#

thats a no

brave field
#

offerup/facebook might be okay, really

jovial tide
#

anyone think the steam deck is worth it?

brave field
#

Steam Deck is not out and by default cannot be worth it because it doesn't exist yet

#

wait for reviews

#

It looks really nice, but we have no confirmation that the thing won't blow up until people can use it and say for sure

jovial tide
#

i already have the 512gb model reservated

#

hopefully its nice if so im finna be getting beamed by modders in bed

brave field
#

I hope it goes well too

#

I'm super interested in the possibility of streaming apps on it as well

#

With Wii U emulation, for example, being able to stream the gamepad screen through Parsec or Steam In-Home to the Steamdeck would be awesome and finally give that authentic-ish experience

jovial tide
#

it can run windows it can do anything in its qualifying range

brave field
#

Windows on it probably going to be useless honestly

jovial tide
#

cant wait to play game gear games on it

#

anyways im headed to micro center to get me a new pc fan

stone harbor
#

its 10C hotter than it usually is

fervent granite
brave field
#

Any emulator that uses OpenGL mainly is going to be terrible on Windows because the SteamDeck has an AMD iGPU

#

Anything RetroArch is significantly faster on Linux, Dolphin should be used on Linux for the games that have less bugs on OpenGL, RPCS3 has more free ram to work with on Linux, PCSX2 almost requires OpenGL, etc.

#

though, having all of your emulators in one place is definitely easier on Windows thanks to CEMU and its shady history

slender trellis
#

Will this system comes with SteamOS only

brave field
#

seems so

#

You can install windows for the small amount of programs that would need it

I have to keep making accounts but it's so worth it

After my trial it'll try to charge me full price which I think is $14.99

Send the chars after /list

brave field
#

oh gosh

jovial tide
#

lol

brave field
#

am scared

jovial tide
#

do you know how to set the ram speed to 3200mhz? mine is on 2667

#

nvm its 2666

brave field
#

This PCPP list won't be relevant in a year but I wouldn't buy this today if I had the money @deep valley

deep valley
#

Explain

brave field
#

Its not "bad" per say, but you can get this level or performance or pretty close for half this price

#

@jovial tideWhat chipset do you have?

deep valley
#

So switch out everything?

jovial tide
#

oh nvm i just realized my b365m ds3h cant go to 3200mhz

brave field
#

Its just super, super, super overpriced, is all
Yeah, I'd start from scratch tbh

deep valley
#

Tbf

#

Everything is very very overpriced

#

Should go down next year

#

Or the end of this year

brave field
#

Some of these look like they were picked by sorting by highest price

#

The 970 evo, for example, while the 980 Pro is both newer and cheaper

deep valley
#

There's a 980?

#

Oh lmao

#

I know the MOBO should get changed

brave field
#

Almost $200 in fans that don't provide any extra cooling potential. The price IS a bit more fair seeing as monitors and perifs are included but even then, those are pretty expensive too

deep valley
#

I know the headset is pretty pricey

brave field
#

The 3080 price is unfortunate, but by the timeframe you planned to buy, there would likely be a refresh or Lovelace would be out for less than half this price

deep valley
#

But I always wanted a wireless headset

#

The keyboard never been that high

#

And I think $310 for a 1440p 170Hz monitor is fair

#

IPS too

brave field
#

Just looking at it as a whole

deep valley
#

And yes, the fans are stupid high price

#

But if you want RGB, you gotta pay that

brave field
#

The gaming + streaming part is really what makes ~$5000 look unfortunate. $1500 PCs (this doesn't include those perifs and such) just get so close to the same performance

deep valley
#

Could you point out what should be switched out?

brave field
#

The SSD, mobo, ram, and 3080 can immediately go or be replaced for their prices

#

All the aesthetic stuff costs more than the rest of the PC. The 5800x is hugely overkill for games and streaming as well, and replacing that removes the need for the NH-D15

deep valley
#

Well I already switched out the SSD, didn't even know their was a 980

brave field
#

That's really all that can be done without touching the aesthetics stuff/perifs/monitors, but this being for next year does make all the changes pretty much null

deep valley
#

And isn't the 3080 the best you can get?

#

Cause it was $700 when it came out

#

Now it's gonna be like $1,000

brave field
#

I suppose if RGB is a huge deal, you can still get strips for $3 instead of these fans for $250
There is the 3080 TI and 3090 above the 3080, none of them should cost the $2000 that's shown in this list though. You can set custom prices with the gear icon when changing parts

deep valley
#

And the only reason I would go with the R7 5800x is too game + stream

#

From what I heard is a good choice, but too much if just for gaming

brave field
#

Streaming is primarily done on the GPU now. People are getting equivalent of top streamer quality while using Ryzen 3 CPUs

#

Hardware accelerated AV1 encoding pretty much removes CPUs from the equation entirely. If you're stuck on a platform that relies on AVC, its fair, though

deep valley
#

Without using a second PC?

brave field
#

Without using a second PC

pliant lynx
cold elbow
#

A useful tiktok

deep valley
#

And I'm guessing a 750W PSU is overkill

pliant lynx
#

indeed

cold elbow
#

But still the 510 isn't a good airflow case.

brave field
#

Might not be with 12 fans running at 1% speed just for lighting. You could definitely run a 3080 system on less otherwise

#

I wouldn't go under 650W though, even on a more reliable PSU like RMx models

cold elbow
deep valley
#

It's $1,045 just for the monitors, keyboard, mouse, headset

cold elbow
#

Holly

#

Molly

deep valley
#

The monitors are $620

#

Could be a lot less if I want to get just one

#

But double monitor setups are like very useful

cold elbow
#

Or

#

Be reasonable

#

Buy a good one and a shitty second monitor

deep valley
#

But they have to be MATCHING

cold elbow
#

Just like everyone

kindred temple
cold elbow
#

There's no reason for them to match

kindred temple
#

Turn on multi monitor optimization

#

And no

#

You only need to match the refresh rate

#

Not res

cold elbow
#

Not even the refresh rate

kindred temple
#

Preferrably that is

#

99% of the time

#

0 damn given

cold elbow
#

I run a 165hz ultra wide and 60hz garbage monitor

deep valley
#

I play on a 60Hz garbage monitor

brave field
#

Aesthetic reasons? Same reasoning behind $400 of RGB?

deep valley
#

Yes

brave field
#

ah

kindred temple

Just flip 1 vertically

It's there to keep stuff open like discord
Why tf would u want 170hz for discord

Why not

To be fairrrrrr

My rich grandparents could gift me the monitors

For Christmas

cold elbow

Or

deep valley
#

Or my birthday

#

Lmao

cold elbow
#

U can buy a verrrrry good ridiculously expensive main monitor

deep valley
#

No

#

$310 For a 170Hz, 1440p IPS, is pretty good imo

cold elbow
#

Then buy a 2000 honda civic and tesla swap it

Record everything and become famous on tiktok

I'm already planning on buying a 2000 Honda civic lol

My favorite first car would be an is300

Nah

I'm happy with what I have

They don't understand if they will ever need them but yeah

deep valley

But running games on lowest settings getting 40-70FPS is kinda sucky

#

My main is Apex

cold elbow

Yes true

deep valley
#

Love the game

cold elbow
#

Understandable

deep valley
#

But every fight I get in, in a open place I drop to 30-40FPS

cold elbow
#

What im saying is

#

Do more research

deep valley
#

I know

#

I have a whole ass year

cold elbow
#

Learn more about computers and build based on your needs

deep valley
#

I don't think what I have in my build is bad, but could be better

if you had actually researched for an entire year you would know better peepoSusp

Hot take: Investing on peripherals except monitors are kinda lost cause.

It depends on when.

blazing sundial
#

does higher bitrate require more cpu power while streaming?

brave field
#

Streaming should not be done on the CPU anymore, but in the event it was, yes.

blazing sundial

okay

but does higher bitrate require more processing?

brave field

It does

ohk

Please for the love of god run NVENC

Unless if you run AMD GPUs in that case quicksync or x264 Cringe

brave field
#

If you're on AMD, just follow AMD's own advice and beg Youtube/Twitch to start paying HEVC royalties

#

Like with OpenGL support, GPU compute support, driver conflicts with certain apps, AMD promises that eventually the common user's complaint will get a corporation to fix AMD's problems for them!

#

Does cleaning pc increase performance?

twin path
#

potentially yes

#

de facto depends

jovial tide
#

by reducing overheats

blazing sundial
#

Oh then it's not for me

#

Oh also does lightning strike have any impact on performance?

jovial tide
# blazing sundial Oh then it's not for me

it is good to keep the hardware clean tho, especially those with fan and heatsink, because some hardware may lose performance due to not being able to dissipate heat. so theres a straight relation between performance, overheating , and cleaning.

blazing sundial
#

Gotchu

#

Whenever I clean my pc I break some thing everytime lol

jovial tide
blazing sundial
#

Ohk

#

Thanks

#

But let's just assume

#

I don't have that stuff

#

will it affect the performance

jovial tide
#

well, there is a very,very low chance for lightning strikes to directly hit something 'inside' the house, and if we consider you are that much unlucky that it happens, your PC would most probably have no performance after the strike, because it is dead LULW

blazing sundial
#

so it will die

jovial tide
#

most probably yes

blazing sundial
#

That's sad

#

Thanks again

jovial tide
#

you doing the right thing though

#

I should take backing up my data seriously

#

which is the least of my concerns atm unfortunately

blazing sundial
#

I cleaned my pc, added some thermal paste and am getting 60fps lol

The Steam and Nitro scam links are so boring
Their website clones are pixel perfect, all their media is hosted by Steam/Discord themselves or akamaihd, there's no obvious or easy to read URLs to follow in the insite JS, and the sites don't even send login info to the scammer if Steam's ACTUAL login request says an account is incorrect because its just looking to correctly time a fraud 2fac request

#

but the user experience... they make it seem so, so, so legitimate, perfectly copying things you'd almost never see in actual use

#

and yet

kindred temple
#

Except for the stat trak part

#

Afaik

brave field
#

this message is always here, at the top of the login, and people just don't read it

kindred temple
brave field
#

These links are almost flawless, its crazy

#

They went the extra mile in every regard, but the most important part of their scam gives everything away

#

I just don't see how THIS part is the one people don't find suspicious

#

The typos in the domain are posted in bold, in yellow, three times on the right...

I imagine its more people using password managers/autofill and rushing to get their 4 pages of CSGO inventory in exchange for nothing than really falling for what it says

kindred temple
#

Like "their first name here"123456

brave field
#

Found something PogU

#

removing everything from the link and going to just /trade on some of these gives a name in the bottom left

#

Searching this name returns a Russian forum site with PUBG cheats, a telegram group, and a marketplace for people with social engineering skills

jovial tide
#

i think putin teaches hacking skills to their kids from preschool era

#

and this guy is probably one of them

These sites are super, super interesting

#

There's Linux ransomware tutorials, people selling stolen NordVPN accounts, its surprising how many users this site has, and its not even hidden behind a relatively difficult to remember URL or an onion link or anything of the sort

Russians and chinese have introduced a new service to the digital world: HAS or Hacking as service

#

So my PC is about 25C too warm... This heat really isn't helping

#

Bear in mind, that's with multithreading turned off, half the cores disabled (so it's only 6 core, not 12 core), and the core clock speed reduced by 1.5GHz to 2.2GHz... and all boosts disabled

brave field
#

How is your fan curve?

silent mason
#

it's on low atm... but problem is, that'll just blow the hot air around the room making everything warmer

jovial tide
silent mason
#

nah... but it's 30C here atm... and the house (being a British house) is built like a greenhouse

#

And to make matters worse, it's rather humid too (because ya know, it's Britain)

jovial tide
silent mason
#

Trying to cool it down so that it stops pushing as much heat out into the environment

#

Have also heavily downclocked my GPU's core clock and memory clock speeds (by 502MHz a piece)

#

but yeah, it is running like 10C hotter than usual

silent mason
#

CTR?

cold elbow
#

Yes it's like ryzen master but better

#

It creates modes for you for high performance and power saving

silent mason
#

The CPU is already downclocked to 2.2GHz (as low as the BIOS will let me go), 6 cores outta 12 disabled, all boost disabled, and multithreading disabled. BIOS won't let me do any more.

cold elbow
#

Ctr undervolt your cpu.

#

And it can deal per ccx oc

#

Which is better than disabling corrs

silent mason
#

Can CTR get me to downclock to 1c/1t at 500MHz?

cold elbow
#

U better off using a casio calculator

silent mason
#

yeah that's an extreme example, but I need to disable more cores and downclock further.

cold elbow
#

And why dont u install exaust fans on your room window

jovial tide
silent mason
silent mason
jovial tide
#

oh, nvm then

cold elbow
#

So what's the point of your computer if it's 1 core on 500mhz

silent mason
#

I want to get it as downclocked and core disabled as possible while still being usable

#

Until this heatwave in the UK goes away

cold elbow
#

When it's idle all cores goes to sleep mode

#

Ctr makes sleep mode better

silent mason
#

The idea is to make it so even if I'm gaming, they don't get boosted

cold elbow
#

There's also a custom power plan for that

#

U can't game on 500mhz

#

And 1 core

silent mason
#

I did say it was an extreme example, but I want to downclock and disable cores as much as possible while still being usable

#

As 6c/6t at 2.2GHz is still overkill IMO for basic gaming.

cold elbow
#

2.2ghz on lower voltage might help u

silent mason
#

Planning to see if I can underclock my GPU further as well

#

MSI AB only allows me to knock off 503MHz on core clock and memory clock speeds

cold elbow
#

And yes the main heat source is your gpu not cpu

kindred temple
silent mason
#

I'm happy to dial back settings in the games too if it means reduced heat output during this heatwave...

kindred temple
#

I mean, thats how north korea's ransomware got blown out of proportion

cold elbow
#

Btw why it's not allowed to use fans?

silent mason
#

Fans are already spinning actually

cold elbow
#

Not in the system i meant

#

@kindred templeyuckyuck, nasty!

#

oh... housing contracts

#

Google translate is doing a surprisingly good job here

#

"Free only cheese in a mousetrap)"

cold elbow
#

I didn't ask u to mount it

silent mason
#

Even sticking them on the window breaches contract

cold elbow
#

I have 2x120 fans sitting on my window, they help getting heat out

#

U can probably get a fan and put it next to the window

silent mason
#

I'm looking into industrial grade cooling systems

#

(that are tower systems)

cold elbow
#

Ac?

silent mason
#

(and expecting to be paying tens of thousands of pounds for them)

#

Basically an industrial grade portable AC unit yes

cold elbow
#

That's a waste

silent mason
#

I have a portable AC unit already... my room is too big... I'm still melting even with it on

#

Meaning I need bigger... a lot bigger... something like up to 1'000L of ice water as a cooling source for the cooler

cold elbow
#

U mean 12000 BTU

#

That's two tons of cooling capacity.

brave field
#

I need to get better with the web dev tools in browsers

#

There's a button that calls switch() but I have no idea where the file containing that is

silent mason
#

Well, found a 23'000 BTU portable air con system... but it's £4.2K

jovial tide
cold elbow
silent mason
#

I've got a Zen 3

cold elbow
#

It still works for it

#

It better prioritize tasks to the better cores

silent mason
#

even if I add something like that I still want to downclock further and disable more cores anyway. Doing everything possible to keep this system usable while lowering its heat output. Ideally, I'd like to keep it at 15W usage even under full load.

#

And lop the GPU down from like 250W (I think that's the max the 3070 uses) to 30W

cold elbow
#

3070 is a power house

#

U shouldn't lower your cpu more

silent mason
#

Oh no the plan is to lower everything

cold elbow
#

Gpu is what matters

silent mason
#

Again, everything (including the GPU). Every little helps.

cold elbow
#

Ok then diable xmp

silent mason
#

Already have

cold elbow
#

Umm what else

silent mason
#

And downclocked the RAM to 1600MHz (lowest it'll let me set it to)

cold elbow
#

Not good

#

At least tighten the timings

silent mason
#

will that lower heat output?

cold elbow
#

No but u will get more performance on the same power consumption

silent mason
#

Then I don't care about that. I don't care how much performance I have to sacrifice

lost fossil

is it that hot at your place?

silent mason

30C? Hotter.

right click on the C partition and you should have an "extend" option

I have a £1k budget and I would like a pc or laptop

  1. Should I get a pc or laptop?
    (If I get a pc it will be prebuilt)
    (If I get a pc I will need a monitor keyboard and mouse)
    Which one shall I get?
slender trellis
#

Desktop and Laptop were common, try the Steam Deck, it's a Switch but for PC.

brave field
#

Go for a PC, when prices are a bit better

#

Even buying monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you'll end up paying less for equivalent or more performance, aside from good sales

slender trellis
#

There's no desktop prebuilt with 3090 installed.

junior flax
#

Ur uk right?

#

Look on places like gumtree, ebay (not shitty prebuilt ones but preowned), facebook marketplace

I got my pc off facebook for £350 with
2tb hdd
I5 4690k
Gtx 970
16gb ram

Thx

wind flicker

Srsly look for second hand pcs

wind flicker
#

Ok so not a laptop and for monitor mouse and keyboard what shall I do about that

junior flax

Laptops go out of date after a year or two

#

I don’t need nun amazing but just something good and with those 3 it would be better if I could get a name so I can look at the prices

Not really

junior flax

Cos i got a bundle and its amazing

wind flicker

As long as it works fine and doesn’t bug I’m good

wind flicker
#

Also with ebay u can get scammed right?

brave field
#

Ebay is one of the hardest places to get scammed

#

while you can go with an older used prebuilt, at that price I'd really look into getting everything new and throwing an RTX GPU in as well

junior flax
junior flax
#

Not prebuilts

#

But second hand pcs

#

Cosu can get some good ones in your local are

Area

brave field
#

yeah but 1k GBP is a LOT

#

a second hand PC is fine but the majority of them + monitor/mouse/keyboard is going to use up less than half of that budget

Lol maybe

junior flax

And runs well

brave field

3770 and 1050ti, that price is too high
Should be closer to 300 GBP, considering the 3100/3300X exists and the 1050ti is considerably weaker than the 1060/RX 580

500

junior flax

Ok so

#

You see the gpu

U need more then that

Stay away from "I3"

And look at storage

#

Its got 450gb overall

wind flicker
junior flax
#

Mhm

#

Can you try to haggle and @brave field ur opinion?

brave field
#

storage options suck and the price is ridiculous

but do haggle, yeah

#

its a good system outside of the storage, just a bad price

wind flicker
#

By haggle wym

#

Like ask to lower price

brave field
#

yeah

#

try to bring it to like... 450 pounds

wind flicker
#

Ok I’m bad a talking to people so shall I say first is it available then what’s the lowest price

wind flicker
#

I don’t think they would to that tbh

junior flax
#

Try to meet at a middle point

#

Then negotiate

brave field
#

Yeah, probably not, but that's still more than what its worth imo

wind flicker
brave field
#

Just see how far you CAN go. Some would argue its okay at 550 considering the situation right now

wind flicker
#

Not 500 400^

junior flax
#

Thats similar to my pc and mine is £350

brave field
#

Wouldn't pay 400 for that, no

junior flax
#

Does it only say 4th gen

wind flicker
#

Yh

#

@junior flax

#

He said he can lower price if imma go collet and pay in cash which I might be able to do

junior flax
#

@brave field opinion?

#

Gpu is good but idk bout cpu or ram

#

Sorry if i keep pinging lol

#

If u want me to stop

brave field

Similar system to mine minus the ram and storage, and just a bit over 2x the price

Also u said what to buy for mouse and kb what about mo monitor

wind flicker
junior flax

What if a friend/family built for u

wind flicker
#

I saw both of them (alone) on Amazon for Uber £30 each

I guess around 450 pounds is fair with GPU prices, but it still feels high

junior flax
#

No family/friends?

#

My grandad made my first pc lol

wind flicker
#

I could talk to my mum about it

#

But she will prolly say no

junior flax
#

I mean you could read manuals/videos

#

Really should look into doing it yourself, you're in a budget range where it makes sense and so far these prebuilts have been super overpriced

#

There really isn't anything to mess up, either

wind flicker
#

What parts do u recommend if I was to spend 900£ on a pc

brave field
#

Depending on deals available near you, that could be a 3060, or a 3060ti, or a 3070

wind flicker
#

What do u need to build a pc

junior flax
#

Is rtx really needed cookie

brave field
#

A screwdriver and lighting

junior flax
#

Wouldnt he be able to look at a 1060/1070/1080?

brave field
#

RTX isn't needed but there are 0 GPUs you can get for cheaper right now

wind flicker
brave field
#

1060, 1070, and 1080 all cost more on many used sites right now than buying a 3060/ti at MSRP, but its worth a shot

#

None of them are actively being produced and there are no budget-level GPUs from the past 5 years, so the shortages on better GPUs and the demand spike hit them even harder

wind flicker
#

For parts do I buy them from Amazon

brave field
#

@wind flickerThat PCPP list has all the parts you'll need minus the GPU

#

PCPP also gets prices from all the online stores you can buy from, with links to each item

wind flicker
#

Ok

#

So for gpu I should look at rtx

#

Which rtx tho

brave field
#

This is the sucky part

wind flicker
#

Lol what gpu do u have

brave field
#

you need to follow a twitter bot, or be in a discord server, or watch dealsites like buildapcsalesuk to get a good price

#

An RTX 3060 ti should fit in your budget just fine, but the well-priced ones go out of stock within minutes

wind flicker
#

What does a gpu do

brave field
#

Its a graphics processor, it renders frames, decodes video, and does a lot of math functions

#

Alternatively, if you don't like having to wake up at 3am to a stock notification that's already sold out, then used Pascal is an option if sellers aren't being ridiculous on the site you were using before
