Get one of these SSDs instead:

[sonic stratus]

dont

you can do WAY better for that money

oh nvm i forgot US economy is broken

Theres lots to improve im sure, but with an economy as yours there aint much to do https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3HfmpK

Just pls dont buy a trash garbage disgrace 5060 with 8 ugly Gigabytes of pity VRAM

god i hate this

[zenith dune]

What the hell are you on about?

[zenith dune]

You live in the US? Microcenter nearby?

[sonic stratus]

Correct me, friendly

As i said, potential to save

But US market isnt fun

[zenith dune]

Where do you live?

[sonic stratus]

Me? Germany

Got to admit, im spoiled with the Hardware prices, so my judgement for the US prices may be wrong

[zenith dune]

54,000 gdp per capita vs 83k...

[sonic stratus]

Tbf that number doesnt say much, compare the cost of living

Why is that even relevant here?

Im just saying, if all hes got is amazon, it aint lookin good, but i can try

[zenith dune]

You brought it up

[sonic stratus]

What

[zenith dune]

...

[sonic stratus]

It was about Hardware prices

Anyway

Ohhhhhhh

[sonic stratus]

Hey sorry, i thought this was about Slovania

Got mixed up

[zenith dune]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v8ZF9C

If no microcenter nearby

https://www.newegg.com/p/274-000M-00200?Item=9SIASGMKAP8363#moreBuyOptions

[near axle]

Hey I'm up

Yeah nearest micro center is 8 mins away

[near axle]

I mean the only reason is, I'm sacrificing looks for performance and also the cheapest possible build

[near axle]

Oh and I'm trying to run minecraft with shaders, doesn't ryzen suck at running minecraft?

[marsh nacelle]

not at all

[near axle]

Oh it runs it well then?

[marsh nacelle]

there is no bias between intel and AMD in minecraft

[near axle]

Huh alright

[zenith dune]

Which location?

[near axle]

Uh want a link to it?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/qthuoC8qPgaCF5399

There

[zenith dune]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pLgQv4

Bam

Might be the goat.

[near axle]

Thanks I guess

[zenith dune]

Issue?

[near axle]

No it's cause I made my own budget build on the top never got any help with it tho

It's as cheap as I could make it

May look bad tho

[zenith dune]

Well it’s not a great build

Worse cpu, ram, gpu, ssd psu, and cpu cooler

[near axle]

Hm.

Alright

[near axle]

I'm kinda tryna save money too that's why everything is as weak as it is but just enough to at least hit 100+ or less in a game with tweaks

[zenith dune]

The build I sent is cheaper lol

I can go cheaper if you want

[near axle]

Sure

[near axle]

That'd be nice

[zenith dune]

What’s your ideal price

[near axle]

I mean my budget is 1,054 I mean probably 900 smth or if it's not possible just down a couple bucks

Whatevers ideal

[zenith dune]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qpTzdb

[near axle]

Dayum

Shit that's less than my other build

[zenith dune]

It’s only got 16gb of ram

But it’s not bad

[near axle]

Would the price change alot if I get 32 instead

[zenith dune]

The issue is it’s with a microcenter bundle

Basically they do the cpu mobo ram at a combo price

The original build I linked had 32gb of ram

[near axle]

Hm

[thorny pewter]

He could go with the original bundle actually, its below 1k, itd be $979

[near axle]

That's solid too

[thorny pewter]

the case is gonna have to change though

the last case is adds 8 cents

so youd be fine

Montech with their 8 cent difference in cases

[zenith dune]

Marching stick of ram is $50 more to make it 32gb

[zenith dune]

Well it’s got significantly worse performance

[near axle]

Yo the build you sent me is missing a couple of things

Ram sticks,

Ssd

Uh

Let me see.

[thorny pewter]

Its not that bad

[thorny pewter]

Those arent missing

he sent u a microcenter bundle

[near axle]

Oh

[thorny pewter]

But he said u can buy the other 16gb stick for $50 so you can do that instead

[near axle]

I see my bad

[thorny pewter]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006990/amd-ryzen-5-7600x,-asus-b650m-a-prime-ax-ii,-gskill-16gb-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle

[thorny pewter]

He got u set, dw bout it

[near axle]

So is this solid enough to buy other things with the left over money

[zenith dune]

Yeah sorry Im on my phone so links are tough

[near axle]

It's fine

[zenith dune]

Yeah sure

Get yourself a monitor

[near axle]

W

Which ones reccomended?

[zenith dune]

If you buy the additional ram double check to get the same stick

[near axle]

Alright

Okay yall seem to got me set lol

Now we move onto monitors yall got any recommendations?

With the leftover money ofc

[zenith dune]

Hmm whatcha play?

[near axle]

I feel like I'm asking for too much.

Uh

[zenith dune]

Well I do this for a living

[near axle]

Fire

Thanks a ton btw

OH and I play minecraft

Terraria

Uh

Cod

Ark

Uhh

Idk I'm just naming games I've played off the top of my head

Repo

Assassin's creed

[zenith dune]

I’m torn between 1080p and 1440p for you

[near axle]

You want my steam account so you can see every game?

Idk if that's a option for you to see my steam library

Or i can just send ss

[near axle]

Sorry I took a little

Here

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199115080092/

[zenith dune]

Do you currently have a monitor

[near axle]

I have a 24 inch vizion tv

No i don't, this is my first time buying anything for a pc excluding a keyboard and mouse

I have a desk too

[near axle]

You still split between 1080p and 1440?

[zenith dune]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D16WKPMF?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[near axle]

Shit

Thanks a ton dude

[near axle]

Wait so for the cpu in the build that's gonna be replaced with the bundle right? So i can start adding the price up?

[zenith dune]

Correct. I marked the cpu price in the pcp list for the entire bundle

[near axle]

Oh so it'll be 860?

880*

Everything, just to clarify

I figured it out myself sorry for asking alot lol

[near axle]

Thanks a shit ton dude

[zenith dune]

Np

[near axle]

Oh one more thing before I'm set, should I buy these parts online? Or at micro center.

Nvm that's a dumb question

[zenith dune]

Whatever is cheaper

[near axle]

Yo I'm back, you got a place to buy the RX 6800? The one you put in the build you gave me

[zenith dune]

Looks like someone sniped it

[near axle]

Oh

So then what should I do?

[zenith dune]

[near axle]

W, thanks man

[near axle]

Hey man, what if i don't feel confident in building the pc.?

[thorny pewter]

Why whats wrong?

I dont usually tell people pay to build a pc cuz its basically jus legos but u do have that option

[near axle]

Yeah but it's like 100 dollars extra

Tryna save money yk?

Cus like

Yk

Idk man I just dunno

I have the build js don't know if I feel like I can build it without mess ups

[thorny pewter]

trust me, its just like legos

[near axle]

Hm

[thorny pewter]

Well unless u bend a component or drop something, youd be perfectly fine

[near axle]

Oh

[thorny pewter]

There are youtube tutorials as well

[near axle]

What about GPU sagging is that an issue I should be worring about?

[thorny pewter]

Well

Not really

if its a little sag

but i do recommend fixing it

you can build a diy support bracket or sum

[near axle]

I guess

[thorny pewter]

You overthinking it, youd be fine

its actually very fun

the only fun part is if it doesnt boot up

most of the times its prolly cuz u didnt plug something in

Trust, youd be fine

[near axle]

Oh

Is there any like

Tutorials for specific cases?

Or no

[thorny pewter]

Probably, try youtubing it

[near axle]

Oh and another thing

I'm tryna have enough to buy a monitor too

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D16WKPMF?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

This one

Because uh mouse gave me it

[thorny pewter]

https://youtu.be/OwKQrjFZ5AY?si=caleyqwwP7Ht11WP

This uses ur case ig

[near axle]

And I want to know if uh the pc builder thing shows the prices with tax already

[near axle]

Thanks

If you want the link i have it saved

[thorny pewter]

No

Youd have to calculate the tax

is your budget inclusive of tax?

[near axle]

Kinda?

[thorny pewter]

Whats the taxrate where you live?

[near axle]

Uh

[thorny pewter]

Youd also have to account for shipping costs as well

[near axle]

7.75%

Yeah

Some parts have free shipping

I think

Hold up

Yea

[thorny pewter]

then do 7.75% of the total

[near axle]

Okay

[thorny pewter]

approx 69 dollars

[near axle]

Ywa

Yea*

$947.88

[thorny pewter]

Indeed

[near axle]

So I won't have enough for the monitor

Neat

[thorny pewter]

Yeahh, getting a midrange pc under $1000 is a task because of the gpu situation going on rn so

[near axle]

Hold up.

Wait

These 2 prebuilts have similar specs

https://www.microcenter.com/product/694526/powerspec-g524-gaming-pc?utm_source=chatgpt.com

And

https://www.microcenter.com/product/682496/powerspec-g519-gaming-pc?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Don't like the white tho

And ik I won't have too much power on what I want to change or not.

[thorny pewter]

7600 8gb I would not recommend, especially seeing that the build you have is around that price and way better

[near axle]

Hm

Okay

[thorny pewter]

wont recommend this build as well

[near axle]

I see

[thorny pewter]

Are you overthinking building the pc again or are you worried about the pricing

[near axle]

Pricing now

[thorny pewter]

If so, you can always buy each component piece by piece starting by which would most likely fluctuate in price

and get money for the rest later

[near axle]

Cause I don't have anything to connect the pc to.

Unless I want to connect it to a 24 inch TV 😭

[thorny pewter]

How much budget do u have left?

[thorny pewter]

Gotta do what u gotta do

[near axle]

Well not much

Yeah I'll have around

[thorny pewter]

aint no shame in it till you can buy a proper monitor

[near axle]

100 or so left

Yeah

Isn't buying from multiple places like

Kinda bad with my budget

Wait ima go check which ones I need to pay for delivery

And I'll see what my left over is

[thorny pewter]

Its better actually

Cheaper alternatives

[near axle]

I mean yeah

Yk what nvm yeah

[thorny pewter]

Im not seeing any cheaper 1440p monitors

[near axle]

So everything on new egg has free delivery

Same thing with Amazon

And that's the only websites I'm buying from

[thorny pewter]

You have amazon prime?

[near axle]

Oh forgot about the bundle

Yea

[thorny pewter]

Nice

the bundle you get at the microcenter

[near axle]

Yeah

[thorny pewter]

indeed

[near axle]

They luckily got it instock

[thorny pewter]

They always got those bundles in stock afaik

[near axle]

So what would be better in person or buying that bundle online

Lol in person

I'm joking

[thorny pewter]

Thats the only way u can get it

[near axle]

Says i can buy it online for some reason

[thorny pewter]

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Restored-Acer-Nitro-Widescreen-Gaming-LCD-Monitor-2560x1440-180Hz-1ms-KGB271U-Refurbished/15697706282?conditionGroupCode=2&classType=REGULAR&from=/search

How does this look?

[thorny pewter]

Says you can order for pick up most likely

those bundles arent shippable

or have delivery

[near axle]

Oh

Yeah i just saw

Ight in total it's $966.15

So yeah I won't be able to afford the monitor

[thorny pewter]

Are you sure? The tax is calculated when you click checkout

[thorny pewter]

Unfortunate, tv it is

[near axle]

Yea i have free shipping for everything I'm buying from

[thorny pewter]

is your tv 1440p?

[near axle]

Amazon and new egg

[thorny pewter]

tax I meant

[near axle]

Uh

Yeah that's taxed

[thorny pewter]

Alright

[near axle]

Let me figure out if it's 1440p

[thorny pewter]

You can also ask this server for help with building the pc

[near axle]

True

You good if i come to you?

And mouse

Yall helped me out a ton

[thorny pewter]

Sure but I dont be active 24/7

[thorny pewter]

As I said, you can always buy the things piece by piece and save up to get the rest of the build

[near axle]

How the hell do I figure out the model?

I'm searching vizon 24 inch and there's like 300

Hold on

[thorny pewter]

Its probably not 1440p, 1440p tvs are not common

but the model should be on the back

[near axle]

I'm guessing 1080p

Ight

[thorny pewter]

if its 4k it can accept 1440p if I remember correctly

either ways, youd probably be at 60hz as well so

Anyways, just buy the rest of the build some other time

sacrifice gotta be made

[near axle]

It's this one

v505-j09

That's the model number

I should've js sent you a link

Sorry

[thorny pewter]

Its 4k

You lucky

[near axle]

Oh

4k is good?

Yeah but what does it mean

Cus I'm lowkey clueless

[thorny pewter]

It means you can set ur resolution to 1440p most likely

Are u sure thats the model though?

[near axle]

Oh

Yea says it on the back

Model number

Then it says that

[near axle]

Yea

That's the one

[thorny pewter]

Alright well, either ways, if it can or cant run 1440p, sacrifices gonna have to be made until you can get a proper monitor

or maybe get a used one for the while, its up to you

[near axle]

Alright

[thorny pewter]

goodluck with the refresh rate though, 60hz is the limit

[near axle]

Oh

Rip

[near axle]

Yo I'm back

[near axle]

Does this look good to you?

[thorny pewter]

Ye what's wrong

[near axle]

The reviews

One says it broke and another says they got it fine

50/50

[thorny pewter]

Unfortunately that happens but it's from aseock

Not newegg fault if it does

It most likely won't tho don't worry

[near axle]

I'm paranoid because if a part breaks it's gonna take a whole year to replace

😔

[near axle]

But yeah ima go to micro center today (I hope)

To buy the bundle

[thorny pewter]

You'd be fine, it's not common adaik

Afaik*

A friend of mine bought a z790 board and it came dead

From MSI

It happens

[near axle]

Yo now i got a big issue

Even my own father doesn't trust me in building the pc

🙏

And with my budget and how much I'm using, paying to build it isn't an option.

😔

[thorny pewter]

then ask him to help

Its really just legos guys

[near axle]

He doesn't know much about pc's

He's saying it's delicate work lol

[thorny pewter]

And theres noone u can call to help u build it

[near axle]

Nope

[thorny pewter]

So hed be more comfortable

A cousin?

[near axle]

Yup

Nope

[thorny pewter]

Welp

[near axle]

I'm cooked?

[thorny pewter]

Pre builds are usually not worth the money

[near axle]

No he says its fine buying the parts

[thorny pewter]

youd get less performance than what u can get for building it urself most of the times

[near axle]

Issue is building it

[thorny pewter]

If you dont have budget to build it then you can wait til you get however much you need to build the pc

[near axle]

True

Welp

Thanks for the help

[near axle]

Ay bro

Change of plana

I got half the junk off micro center

Same price

Now I'm missing the power supply

Storage

Uh

Thermal paste

And

Cooler

[thorny pewter]

The CPU cooler has the thermal paste

[thorny pewter]

Noice

[near axle]

Yuh

[near axle]

Switched the case for the same price

It looks really nice

[thorny pewter]

Nice, montech air, Montech XR, both great cases

[near axle]

How tf do i remove the glass

[thorny pewter]

https://youtu.be/lqiwvvKH8sU?si=VbQADBkTPm9VEoeX

[near axle]

I figured it out

Your good

Ay now i need windows

💔

[thorny pewter]

u alr got everything?

[near axle]

Yea

[thorny pewter]

do you have a second pc or laptop?

[near axle]

Yea

One that hardly works

[thorny pewter]

do you have a usb?

[near axle]

Yep

[thorny pewter]

Are u okay with wiping the data on the flashdrive?

[near axle]

Their new i got them today

[thorny pewter]

Nice, using your next pc or laptop, go to this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?msockid=1699c0e6ede660a8322cd52dec326117 and click "Create windows 11 installation media"

[near axle]

Okay

Done

[thorny pewter]

Nice, connect ur drive

to ur laptop or whatever it may be

[near axle]

Okay

[thorny pewter]

Run the file you got

[near axle]

Okay

[thorny pewter]

Accept the terms and agreement, select your language and make sure it says windows 11

After you click next itd ask which media to use or something like that

Select USB flash drive

And then click on your drive

[near axle]

Done

Is that all?

[thorny pewter]

Did it already install to the drive?

Damn how fast is ur shi

[near axle]

Yea

[thorny pewter]

my wifi ass

alright

[near axle]

Pretty fast

Yeah

[thorny pewter]

disconnect the drive from ur pc safely

then connect to to your new one and turn it on, it should boot into the windows 11 set up screen

By safely I mean ejecting your drive

[near axle]

Ah

Yea i see it

Should I click install

[thorny pewter]

Did u select your language and stuff already?

[near axle]

Yep

[thorny pewter]

Click the install now button

itd probably ask for an activation key, click I dont have a product key

Then when you click next, you can select which windows 11 edition

Aka either home or pro, thats really all YOU want as a gamer

not even pro, home is fine enough but pro has more features that I like to use so

[thorny pewter]

@near axle everything good?

[near axle]

I'm falling asleep

[near axle]

But yeah everything installed correctly

Thanks a ton

[thorny pewter]

You dont wanna activate windows?

[near axle]

I'll probably do that tommorow

It's 4am

I'm sleepy
