that isn't price to performance

#

how many threads do you realistically need?

#

though the cpu actually isn't bad

#

Whats the final budget tho?

#

Can we push 1400-1500

Just noticed that you had an OEM windows license listed at $118, I suggest buying a full license from Microsoft for $139 instead https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-11-home/dg7gmgf0krt0 which will allow your friend to change computer/motherboard in future without having to buy another license. Especially with a $1500 budget it's only a $20 difference, no reason to cheap out on that.

or you know there's alternatives

4060ti and 13400f are the most pathetic cpu adn gpu for price to performance currently

#

4060ti is only 5% faster than the 3060ti at 1440p, loses in 4k to the 3060ti lol

#

6950xt is relative to 4070ti/3090ti

#

around 50-55% faster

#

its why none of them have sold whatsoever

#

only people who actually bought it are reviewers

#

look at the generational uplift

#

since u already have the 3060ti a 4070/3080 or higher makes the most sense

#

used 3080s sell for less than the 4060ti

#

@wheat flower windows license wise, I would buy one from resellers instead of the full $110 one

#

3060 isn’t good for that budget, if your going cheaper than it would be good choice

#

amd has better cards for that

#

#

3060 ti is better then the 6650 xt

#

Unless there’s a amd card I’m forgetting about

#

I mean if you want to match the other parts with performance than yea

#

it’s a very popular card choice

#

You should be able to play on 1080p really well

#

His point still stands though

#

If the airflow is good like people say it is you should be relatively good
