[robust leaf]

Wdym think? Best fucking sff card if you're talking budget

[honest grotto]

I have a 200W PSU so I don't know

[robust leaf]

It will run

It's 75w

[honest grotto]

70W**

[robust leaf]

Same as a 1650

[robust leaf]

Yeah it could run in a 180 w PSU too but you'd be reaching the limit

[honest grotto]

Ok I will save up for it

[robust leaf]

How much you got rn?

They're 250 dollars

[honest grotto]

70 lol

[robust leaf]

Omg same

I'm also saving up for a gpu

[honest grotto]

Which one do u have now?

[robust leaf]

Igpu

Lol

[honest grotto]

Which model

[robust leaf]

Hd2500

[honest grotto]

Shit lol that's worse than mine

[robust leaf]

It's a Dell optiplex i5 3470 16gb ddr3 and 120gb boot SSD and2tb hdd

[honest grotto]

I would update the motherboard for ddr4

[robust leaf]

Can't without cou upgrade

I got this pc for less than 70 euro so

[honest grotto]

Oh get a cheap one there are plenty

[robust leaf]

I'm fine with it

[honest grotto]

I got mine for 130 dollars

[robust leaf]

I'll mostly do blender so a chonky GPU is a must

I already do blender on it and it's pretty fast for baking simulations but with CPU rendering it takes me nearly 15 minutes per 1080p frame

[honest grotto]

Oh I get u

[robust leaf]

2 seconds per frame would be haven

[honest grotto]

Btw what do u think of the updated setup

[robust leaf]

It looks good

[honest grotto]

Lol I would save up for a new pc on eBay second hand

[robust leaf]

You live in the UK? I see British plugs

[honest grotto]

Yes lol

Good eye

[robust leaf]

I got my dell second hand

[robust leaf]

I love in Ireland lol

*live

[honest grotto]

U can get a second hand pc on eBay for 250 dollars or get a new pc with used components would perform better

[honest grotto]

Oh my friend 😂

[robust leaf]

I can find you a listing in eBay for a a2000

[honest grotto]

Would be good

[robust leaf]

I can barely save up for an a2000 like the cou and mobo will be next

[honest grotto]

I have to wait for a month to save up again

I was thinking of going with a 1030

[robust leaf]

Woops

[robust leaf]

Fuck no

Shit card

A2000 is infinitely better

It's an rtx3050 but 70w

[honest grotto]

Is it a low profile card the a2000?

[robust leaf]

Yep

That's why I'm getting it I also have an sff desktop

Is your ho an elitedesk or prodesk?

[honest grotto]

Oh that's good

Elitedesk g2 sff

[robust leaf]

Yep it'll fit

You have 4 pcie slots

[honest grotto]

Yep

One is taken by the m2 SSD adapter

[robust leaf]

Use the top one for GPU, most bandwidth since it's connected directly to the cpu

The others are connected to the chipset

[honest grotto]

Will have to switch the m2 adapter slot then that's fine

[robust leaf]

Why don't you use SATA?

Like a sata to m.2

[honest grotto]

It came with the pc

[robust leaf]

I mean data 2 has 3 gbps

Change it then buy an adapter

[honest grotto]

It as a m2 adapter

[robust leaf]

M.2 to sata will have similar speed

[honest grotto]

Look at this elephant lol

[robust leaf]

M.2 to pcie right? The bottom slot on your pc is pci not pcie so it won't work there

[robust leaf]

Elephant

[honest grotto]

I might in general just get a 1tb ssd instead of the 256gb Samsung m2 it's a old one

[robust leaf]

Yeah

Get an su650 960gb i have a su650 myself it's an ok sata ssd

It's like 25 pounds for 960gb or 1 tb

[honest grotto]

WHAT THE FUC

[robust leaf]

What

Cheap

[honest grotto]

What a deal

[robust leaf]

Get it then

[honest grotto]

Ya

[robust leaf]

And get a sata to m.2

[honest grotto]

I will get it on Tuesday since I don't actually have the 70 pounds with me now

[honest grotto]

How much is that

[robust leaf]

10 pounds:/

Get a normal sata ssd

[honest grotto]

U mean this

[robust leaf]

Nope

[honest grotto]

They are more expensive this one is on offer why not

[robust leaf]

Just too much hassle

Like pcie to m.2 adapter is blech

You already have sata

Do you got sata drive cables?

[honest grotto]

Ya

[robust leaf]

So get a sata ssd

Just from a popular brand like crucial or adata

[honest grotto]

They are more expensive they are like 40 quid

A m.2 is better for the long run

[robust leaf]

Nope not really

M.2 heat up a lot more

[robust leaf]

Just choose the 1 tb option

It's only 5 pounds more than the m.2

[honest grotto]

I will see prices change everyday

Will check again on Tuesday

[robust leaf]

This is the lowest it's been a while

I can see with pc part picker

[honest grotto]

I want to get a 1tb one

Or a 2tb

Cuz I will be doing coding in GCSE's

I start yr 10 in like 1week and a half
