Also what's the used between the two.
#what's the difference between a SSD and a HDD?

dusty monolith
Hey, this thing is good for something.
If the logo didn't give it away, that's chatGPT
hearty maple
How much of both do I need to have multiple games
dusty monolith
You don't need to have both.
hearty maple
Hm?
In a optiplex, do both ssd and hdd store in the disk drive?
So only one can be there right?
void crest
getting an SSD is always a welcome upgrade over an HDD
dusty monolith
They both store data, they show up as drives in windows or other OS
hearty maple
So is ssd better than hdd
void crest
for speed, yes
hearty maple
Hm
void crest
although an hdd is cheaper for bulk storage
but for a boot drive, an ssd is worth getting
hearty maple
Which is better for storing games
dusty monolith
ssd is the sports car, hdd is your large van
both go on the road and are good at different things :P
void crest
Which is better for storing games
you'll experience better loading times with an ssd
dusty monolith
much nicer experience with an ssd as a boot drive too
void crest
depends on how many things you'll be downloading
dusty monolith
how many games do you plan to hoard or install at once?
hearty maple
3-4 games
void crest
1tb should be enough
dusty monolith
should be plenty, yep
hearty maple
But I am able to have both
void crest
you could get an mx500 or a 870 evo
hearty maple
Right
hearty maple
Ok
dusty monolith
sure, it's a desktop computer right? those usually have 6 sata ports for hdds, then 1-2 fast nvme ports for ssd
hearty maple
It's a optiplex
dusty monolith
that's a brand and I don't even know about them much
void crest
it's a dell prebuilt system
dusty monolith
ah, one of these tiny ones
void crest
there are mid tower versions too
dusty monolith
you should check the motherboard or vendor website what kind of ssd it supports for expansion
void crest
if it's sff, then the best gpu you could slot in there would probably be the rx 6400 without breaking the bank
hearty maple
you should check the motherboard or vendor website what kind of ssd it supports ...
Getting it off ebay
hearty maple
if it's sff, then the best gpu you could slot in there would probably be the rx ...
I don't think it's a sff
void crest
is it a thin computer
dusty monolith
the seller still has the exact model number on the listing, no?
void crest
send a picture
hearty maple
Is a GTX1050Ti better than rx 6400
dusty monolith
if not, I wouldn't even go near that
void crest
Is a GTX1050Ti better than rx 6400
probably a better buy
keen lantern
please don't buy those...
void crest
also, consider gtx 1060 6gb
keen lantern
how about this
linus made a video about budget pcs or "getting a new gpu isn't always good"
consider getting a used 1080 on ebay, it's way faster than a 6400
void crest
it's faster than any other sff gpu, so it's a compromise
if they are getting a midtower pc, then size is less of a concern
keen lantern
hearty maple
dusty monolith
Yep that video had good points in it.
void crest
looks like a mid tower system
hearty maple
That's the tower
hearty maple
Why?
keen lantern
im not being mean or anything but stop what you're doing and i would do some research first
i know it's tempting
hearty maple
I think it's good
keen lantern
i got scammed by a 300 dollar "gaming pc" once
an absolute waste of money, specs were horrible
for the price
dusty monolith
it's a 3rd gen i5, says in the specs
hearty maple
I'm smart
keen lantern
why would you do that
dusty monolith
even the specs are not specifics, could be a very crappy i5
keen lantern
what gen i5 is it?
hearty maple
3rd
keen lantern
2 tb hdds are relatively cheap nowadays
and those aren't discrete gpus
those are integrated
dusty monolith
3.2GHz base speed, lessee what that matches
keen lantern
you're going to be running like 20 frames in a lot of titles
void crest
it seems to have a rx460 included
keen lantern
What's your budget man?
hearty maple
300 smh
keen lantern
okay
just watch the video i showed you above
for the ebay pc you showed me above, league of legends can run on a single core processor
you can run it with your grandma's 20 year old pc
and for fortnite, they're probably saying you can run this game at the lowest possible settings at like 30 frames or something
it's all a marketing scheme to get people who don't really know tech to buy it
here's a great deal on a budget card on ebay
you can find a 1060 used for like 50-100 dollars
dusty monolith
right so it's an i5-3470, only thing that matches
keen lantern
here's a great deal on a budget cpu that works great with the rx 580
dusty monolith
but I guess you're over that listing already :)
keen lantern
you can get an amd cpu instead as well
along with a gtx 1060
get the 6 gb version not the 3 gb
huge performance difference between the two, not just the memory
vague orbit
when you use chatgpt cause you don't know the answer
keen lantern
listen yall i have to go back to studying
make sure this dude doesn't get scammed by getting a shitty "gaming pc"
i trust yall
oh also great deal on a psu for this type of build
hearty maple
but I guess you're over that listing already :)
What
Bro all I want is a decent pc
I've been looking for weeks
keen lantern
you're looking at the wrong spots
hearty maple
I'm broke
keen lantern
i know
hearty maple
Too bad
keen lantern
that's why people like linus tech tips are here to help you
they're making sure budget gamers doesn't get scammed
they're trying to make sure that you get the best possible value
dusty monolith
when you use chatgpt cause you don't know the answer
No. I had chatGPT open already, it finishes a paragraph of a perfectly fine explanation faster than I do.
hearty maple
Why can't I buy the pc I had above?
keen lantern
check out gamers nexus as well
it's not a gaming pc, it's a shitty workstation that's overpriced
that's why
dusty monolith
the cpu in it is 11 years old
keen lantern
the cpu in it is 11 years old
this
i got scammed by hat 300 dollar gaming pc i mentioned it had a 2008 dual core processor
my pc would randomly crash all the time
do not make the same mistake i did
hearty maple

Then should I get thi
hearty maple
So?
keen lantern
and no gpu
hearty maple
Can't I change that?
keen lantern
listen i don't know what your situation is at the moment
but it seems you're really desparate for a computer
if it's for school, just get a cheap chromebook for homework and stuff
and make sure you're getting the right one as well...
but on ebay there's lots of great computer parts you can buy
you can put them together for a budget pc
watch the 2nd video i posted above
most gamers are like you, we don't poor shame in this community. Linus made a video on a great budget gaming pc
