Hello, im using a MSI Aegis SE 10SI-001US, can you guys help me find some suitable upgrades i canget

[quaint widget]

$150 is a bit… tight for an upgrade but…

Let’s see.

[buoyant needle]

ok

btw is it compatible for a case change?

[quaint widget]

Lemme see...

Can you open the side panel and take an image of the board?

[buoyant needle]

how do i do that?

never opened it before

[quaint widget]

Okay, I think the board is... standard form factor.

I found some internal view images.

[buoyant needle]

hold on i have a virtual view of the motherboard

[quaint widget]

What region are you in? So I could more correctly gauge the price.

[buoyant needle]

south carolina usa

[quaint widget]

I see.

[buoyant needle]

Aegis SE 10SI-001US is my model btw

[quaint widget]

Aight.

[buoyant needle]

!!

[quaint widget]

Also, I... suggest you save up a bit more, cus the power supply is... absolutely abhorrent, MSI literally putting a middle finger to their customer, 350W total...

[buoyant needle]

hmm

250?

@quaint widget

[quaint widget]

That'll do.

Cus... upgrading the PSU will open up opportunities for future upgrade.

[buoyant needle]

ok

[quaint widget]

It is compatible but... I'm not too sure about the thermal performance and ease of building in that.

[buoyant needle]

[indigo matrix]

Idk if your mom will trust but when it comes to gpu's used market is crazy

Like I found a rtx 4090 on there for 770 usd

[indigo matrix]

And right here https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-Radeon-Graphics-RX-66XL8LFDQ/dp/B09HHLX543/ref=asc_df_B09HHLX543/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=546144295672&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16207878157674500014&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030754&hvtargid=pla-1457180243719&psc=1&mcid=5d299805b02f3efd96d8f08289c82359&gclid=CjwKCAiAqY6tBhAtEiwAHeRopUqbe-f6K37bDy_6zDk0Q77kX-X_ORd28scxZvwGfkPZA5QMaPE3CRoCjIwQAvD_BwE

Budget GPU for 225 and it's on your mom's favorite website

[buoyant needle]

ouch

bruh

omg

i might have to cancel everything just to get this card

fuck

i had a whole setup

ill wait till later

to buy the card

wait

someone near me has a 2070 super for 200

is that good?

@indigo matrix

[frigid eagle]

You need a new PSU if your gonna get the card bro

[buoyant needle]

ik

[frigid eagle]

Ok the contrary

On*

If you don’t mind not having ray tracing

[buoyant needle]

never used

[frigid eagle]

The Rx5700xt has similar performance minus £20-40

[frigid eagle]

Hmmm

[frigid eagle]

But that’s on ebay 💀

So ig 6600 it is then

[buoyant needle]

Someone has a 2070 near me

For 180

And. 6700xt

For 280

And a 7900xt for 150

[quaint widget]

Please… the PSU priority.

[buoyant needle]

I know bro

[indigo matrix]

Yeah I'd go slide in and snag that

But your case that you have w prebuolt is fine

[indigo matrix]

I already gave them a 750w

[quaint widget]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x4hv6h/thermaltake-toughpower-gf1-tt-premium-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-0750fnfagu-p

Already picked it.

[indigo matrix]

Ngl just use this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fmxxFT/be-quiet-straight-power-12-750-w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn336

It's platinum certified and it's a multi rail

[indigo matrix]

They can't buy that because it's not on amazon

[quaint widget]

Oh.

[indigo matrix]

Gave one already

[indigo matrix]

eBay inst bad like I got my 4090 on there for dirt cheap

[frigid eagle]

yeah I know lol

I was joking about thier mum only using amazon

[buoyant needle]

Someone has a prebuilt for 180 I think it’s a dealbreaker

[winged sonnet]

“Cpu processor”

Also it feels kinda scammy

180 is way too low for that

[indigo matrix]

180 too clow and its cash app only

scam

[indigo matrix]

i didnt know a processor was a nvme drive

[winged sonnet]

Nah it’s a “cpu processor”

[indigo matrix]

such a scam

and cash app only 💀

[winged sonnet]

Scam 101

[buoyant needle]

Yeah

It was a scam

But good news

My upgrade budget is 400

[indigo matrix]

thats gaming 1 sec ill help you in a min

im extreme roblox gaming rn

@buoyant needle ok heres ram https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kXbkcf/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-f4-3200c16d-32gvk

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/n3wmP6/magniumgear-neo-air-2023-atx-mid-tower-case-mg-ne520a_dbw02

case

[buoyant needle]

Rx6700xt good?

Or is 2060 super better

[indigo matrix]

u want ray tracing ?

[buoyant needle]

Sure ig

[indigo matrix]

alr so 2060 but i prefer amd

cheaper

[buoyant needle]

I heard this gets more fps tho

[indigo matrix]

yeah 1 sec tho

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GBB8z6

send to ur mom and she should just click buy all

unless u can get like a used 6800xt

[buoyant needle]

Case is Newegg

But

[indigo matrix]

let her do her mom things

like that

probably use this card https://www.ebay.com/itm/386631354881?epid=27042941808&hash=item5a05064a01:g:ZowAAOSwYzJloye7&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4JCZAUW8I9OH430GqtYJMokzEmtblGRylnvEtXpFiL2BwPdRIz81Tt9cQKAJS8hSVy2Q8pHHZdfl7VUxX7AXdJWf%2BGDhNO9gYxDnvfcRNu6zdFsDe9k7kEjJP9MsNRjP%2FSJkamZoT4Vbw2lCSq3pTTrvnC8J7n5xtWP3pzovzDAFbQjjVHvlcwtAEk4SE3vijs2purp1aTbusRD6PbCXDUW%2BJ5s3qBkU1r7xtB%2Fce8FwOKsCm6JoTRsInj6O30VSxr%2FzaXJuCyke2CJuhG6svIGJwiaZ8stfTQHmAOVT%2F4ah|tkp%3ABk9SR9yh2fShYw

100 seems too cheap

[buoyant needle]

Ima use 3060

Found it new on sale for 280

Is 750 watts good to support this

[winged sonnet]

That’s a bid

[indigo matrix]

Yeah will be fine

[indigo matrix]

Look for a 3070

[buoyant needle]

There’s a 4060 for near the same price

But my cpu will probably bottleneck

I’m on a 10400f

[buoyant needle]

Does the size of the power supply matter?

@indigo matrix

[indigo matrix]

Kinda

Not really

The case I sent should fit the power supply I sent

[buoyant needle]

So if u buy a normal atx power supply

And put it in a micro atx case

It’ll fit?

[indigo matrix]

YeAh

[buoyant needle]

Wait does liquid cooler require a resovoir and al that

[indigo matrix]

For a custom loop yes but for an AIO now

No

[buoyant needle]

So if I buy this I won’t need anything extra?

[indigo matrix]

no you just need to wire it

but your cpu doesnt need that

you need thermal paste

use this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hYxRsY/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa120-se-d3

[winged sonnet]

why get a 3060

or a 4060

or a 3070!

get a 6700xt or smthn lel

[indigo matrix]

fr

thats what i said

[buoyant needle]

im tryna stay at 300

new

max

[winged sonnet]

6650xt is prob the best u gonna get new

[buoyant needle]

3060 is better tho is it not?

[winged sonnet]

no

it's worse

[buoyant needle]

what about 6600xt

[winged sonnet]

it's similar but 6650xt is a bit better

[quaint widget]

RX 7600 has performance fairly close to the RX 6700 XT.

And if I recall correctly, as cheap as the RX 6600 XT.

[winged sonnet]

No the fuck it doesn’t

7600 loses to the 6650xt some times

[quaint widget]

Sometimes.

The difference is… 1%.

And if the 7600 is cheaper, it would still be the better deal.

[frigid eagle]

No

[frigid eagle]

Noooo

If your gonna get the 3060, get the Rx5700xt instead

It’s a LOT cheaper and has the same performance

But yeah get something better

[frigid eagle]

7600xt

How much is it?

[frigid eagle]

AMD

Wayyy better than nvidia for P2P

[agile panther]

$329 msrp, releases at the end of the month

[agile panther]

That aio is pretty shit ngl

[frigid eagle]

Ok thanks

[agile panther]

I’m assuming it’ll be around 6700 perf

[frigid eagle]

Hopefully

Imma get it as an upgrade for my 5700xt when the time comes

Well

Once I’ve upgraded everything else

[north dove]

Me rocking a rtx 3060 mobile that's off the charts 🥶

[agile panther]

LOL

[north dove]

My laptop sounds like a helicopter after I open one chrome tab somehow

Even though I set fan speed to silent

MSI Cooler Boost activates automatically and I can't stop it 😂

[frigid eagle]

Lucky

I have a rocket engine in my PC

It’s called the Rx 5700xt

The BASELINE model
