Looking for some tech advice:

[dense fossil]

I recently got new parts and built a brand new computer. Did alot of research for this, but sounds like I left alot of things out. saved money, got my parts, and carefully built it. I am however experiencing performance issues. I wrote the issues I've been having down. my new graphics card is a 5060 ti 8gb. Of course, I see people dogging it RIGHT after I purchase it. I feel like it could be my cpu however, maybe it doesn't match up to the graphics card. Worried I made the wrong purchases
or maybe not enough ram? very unsure currently.

I wanna clean the metal part out before reapplying, is that possible

[stark holly]

Your ram is running in single chanel. They should not be next to eachother. One should be on farthest right, and one should be in the 3rd slot from the right. This could explain instability and random frame drops.

What CPU and ram btw?

[dense fossil]

Omg I just found that out pffft

[dense fossil]

Im running a ryzen 5 5600gt and ram I forgot the brand name rn

But my gpu is an nvidia 5060 ti 8gb

Ofc I see alot of people straight DOGGING on it right after I purchase it

[stark holly]

Yea that's not great

[dense fossil]

Yaaayyyy spent 200 dollars on the wrong cpu :3

[stark holly]

The GPU is fine

[dense fossil]

Srry cpu

Best cpu pair to go with my gpu at least?

I can provide my system specs too

[stark holly]

What's your budget

And can you return anything

[dense fossil]

I dont know if I have a warranty on the cpu

I have a warranty on the gpu tho

Ill check if I can return tomorrow

[stark holly]

Sometimes you can return within like a month without warranty

[dense fossil]

I think it mightve been a month already but I will check regardless

Cpus I see go about 300 dollars

[stark holly]

Cad?

[dense fossil]

I think I can live with that I just have to wait next month

[dense fossil]

Yes

[dense fossil]

hey just found out I can return it still, Im starting return process now and Ill call em tomorrw

[stark holly]

If you can also return the motherboard that'd be perfect cause then you can go intel and get a 14600kf for $230

That's more like AM5 performance but you can reuse your ddr4 ram (be careful to get specifically a ddr4 lga1700 motherboard cause there's ddr5 available for that socket as well)

[dense fossil]

shoot gotta return the motherboard too??? damn...

[stark holly]

I mean you could go for a ryzen 5700X but that's worse performance and more expensive

Actually same price but still

[dense fossil]

nah nah

Ill return the motherboard too

so

could you show me what motherboard you are talking about

[stark holly]

Jist use pcpartpicker canada

It has all the filters you need

One sec I'll make an example one

[dense fossil]

lemme give you all my current specs tooyou might need it

[stark holly]

Yea do you have a cooler aside from the one that came with your cpu?

[dense fossil]

Motherboard:ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WiFi II AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)

Power supply:CORSAIR RM750e (2025) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply with 12V-2x6 Cable – ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 Compliant, Cybenetics Gold Efficiency, 105°C-Rated Capacitors, Modern Standby Mode – Black

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 X 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V Desktop Memory - Black

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT 6-Core 3.6GHz AM4 Processor

CPU cooler: Hypermaster cooler

one minute

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3 CPU Air Cooler (RR-S4NA-17PA-R1)

and the graphics card being 5060 ti 8gb

[stark holly]

Ah you do

Great

[dense fossil]

Reseated the rams today but I still think its either the cpu or the vram

now I think its the motherboard too now that you mentioned it

[stark holly]

What would you say is an acceptable price for motherboard?

[dense fossil]

Honestly, any price ngl, just until I hold down my job I can get anything

my focus rn is returning the parts that concern me

[stark holly]

I don't know if the stutters are because of hardware if reseating the RAM didn't help

You should disable the iGPU of your CPU if it has one (your current one does)

[dense fossil]

how do I do that?

[dense fossil]

looks like you want me to disable the graphics card

cus thats all I see

[stark holly]

Not the graphics card. your cpu has integrated graphics

[dense fossil]

oh

hold on

[dense fossil]

nothing

[dense fossil]

this is a good motherboard??

looks like what I have already

[stark holly]

It's more than good enough

there's a cheaper option and it'd probably work but it's pretty rough lookin

[dense fossil]

very skeptical..

[stark holly]

No the one I sent is great

The cheaper option at like 150 is rough lookin

[dense fossil]

ik

Im still skeptical

[stark holly]

You don't have to change motherboards if you don't want to go through the hassle. honestly your current CPU should work but you could have a much better system

[dense fossil]

I wanna make sure this is right and Im not returning parts for smth else just to meet the same problms

[stark holly]

Well you might because the problem could be software-bound

What I was talking about is mostly about having a better system in general

[dense fossil]

odd

[stark holly]

^

[dense fossil]

I dont know what problem could be software related

[stark holly]

Could be a driver issue?

[dense fossil]

nah I religiously reinstall drivers

[stark holly]

did you DDU?

[dense fossil]

ddu?

[stark holly]

something driver uninstaller

cleans everything so you can start fresh

[dense fossil]

I could try

idk tho

Im installing cpu drivers rq

maybe that could be smth

[stark holly]

uh

Cpus have drivers?

[dense fossil]

you did not know this?

[stark holly]

I'm pretty sure they don't

[dense fossil]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/processors/ryzen/ryzen-5000-series/amd-ryzen-5-5600gt.html

official website

[stark holly]

I'm pretty sure that's for the integrated graphics

[dense fossil]

throw this whole computer away atp

[stark holly]

wait nvm

[dense fossil]

like wtf am I doing bruhhh

[stark holly]

Ok I guess am4 cpus have drivers

[dense fossil]

is mine an am4

I should be upgrading to am5 shouldnt I

[stark holly]

that would require ddr5 ram

idk if you've seen prices recently

[dense fossil]

side note: what would happen if I put my 7 year old t force rams into my computer

[dense fossil]

let me geuss, out of reach

[stark holly]

$350 for 32gb

[dense fossil]

nuke the whole generation

no clue why I decided to build a computer in THIS economy

[stark holly]

Nah you're good, just gotta figure out the problem

How much performance are you getting atp not including stutters?

[dense fossil]

on good days, I had good 120 frames with ultra graphics, but that started going down as of recently

[stark holly]

what game?

[dense fossil]

I assumed it was faulty graphics card or smth

[stark holly]

performance is gradually going down?

huh

track your cpu temperature see if its normal

[dense fossil]

battlefield 6, campaign was fine but then I joined conquest, oblivion was amazing at first but then got trashy, db the beast was fine but then also went to shit

thought the vram wasnt fit for open world

and thought "hey maybe I shouldve spent the extra 100 dollars for 16gb"

[stark holly]

that's definitely true but still don't think you should be getting regular stuttering

[dense fossil]

let me try what you said

monitor cpu temperature

Ill play a round of battlefield 6 and track the temperature for a bit

[stark holly]

Btw you did put your ram in the other slot right?

[dense fossil]

forgot to mention fortnite was abysmal, recently tried playing with the lowest settings possible and was getting max 40 frames

[dense fossil]

yeah, ram 1 is in slot 2, and ram 2 is in slot 4

basically moved the first one a slot

[stark holly]

[dense fossil]

I am absolutely STUMPED

Im canceling the return orders rq just in case first

Im going to try playing a round of battlefield 6 rq with optimized graphics

[stark holly]

I'd change the cpu regardless honestly 💀

[dense fossil]

so the cpu temperature is 42 C

[dense fossil]

definetely will do

49 C

[stark holly]

ok that's completely fine

getting 40 in fortnite would immediately have me asking if your displayport/hdmi is connected to the gpu or motherboard but you said you get 120 in bf6

I guess try a BIOS update, make sure resizable bar is turned on in bios, and do a ddu

[dense fossil]

yeah playing the campaign and small maps. I get questionable performance when I get on conquest

[stark holly]

120fps is very good btw I'm just worried about the stutters

[dense fossil]

and oblivion is worse, but I pinpointed it being bethesda can't fix their shitty games

talking about remaster btw

50 C

[stark holly]

bf6 is one of the best optimized games recently

[dense fossil]

yeah so def a sofware or hardware problem

Ill replace cpu, if thats not the issue Ill consider motherboard too

if thats STILL not the problem its software

could it by chance MAYBE be the monitor Im using or is that a stretch

[stark holly]

if you change the cpu just change the motherboard too and go for a 14600kf (its 230) and the mobo I sent

but before that

[stark holly]

maybe try these

think you can record a video of the problem?

[dense fossil]

I could install obs to record

[stark holly]

just use xbox gamebar

actually that itself could cause stuttering XD

ok

Can you one more time specifcally say what the problem is?

[dense fossil]

I can try re explaining

idk if its a me thing but the performance is just questionable, stutters, slow, so on

cpu at 56 c

[stark holly]

thats completely normal

anything belo like 80 is fine

[dense fossil]

getting 56.8 megabytes its telling me

[stark holly]

of what

[dense fossil]

performance overlay

I enabled it in bf6

[stark holly]

do you mean fps?

[dense fossil]

video memory also keeps exceeding for some reason even though I do anything to lower it

[stark holly]

can you take a screenshot

[stark holly]

that would explain stutters

are you on ultra settings?

what resolution are you playing at

[dense fossil]

was, but it was fine on ultra before

im on high now giving same results

[dense fossil]

100

like that should be the normal limit I should go

[stark holly]

no like 1080p? 1440p? 4k?

[dense fossil]

how can I check that again?

I know damn well Im not on 4k

I think

[stark holly]

should be in video settings

or go to display settings in windows settings

[dense fossil]

checking....

i dont... I cant see anything

[stark holly]

just search for display resolution in windows settings

[dense fossil]

oh that

its in 1920 x 1080

there isnt an option to make it 4k

[stark holly]

yea no 1080p shouldn't be having problems

[dense fossil]

how odd Im still having problems!

ok so

normal temperature for cpu

but ALOT of performance issues still

at first it was meh sudden frame drops but gradually it was getting worse

[stark holly]

ok forgetting numbers. Does the game LOOK jittery?

[dense fossil]

oh very much

very jittery

[stark holly]

your displayport or hdmi is connected to gpu and not motherboard?

[dense fossil]

yep, hdmi connected straight to gpu

Im gonna give elden ring a good shot rq

[stark holly]

1. disable cpu's iGPU
2. DDU
3. Update BIOS

I really don't know lol

[dense fossil]

looking it up and there is no such thing as "disabling a cpu's igpu"

[stark holly]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9HRinkb2_0

[dense fossil]

yeah Im just disabling the graphics card not whatever you just said

[stark holly]

what is the thing you're disabling called?

[dense fossil]

igpu

[stark holly]

no like

[stark holly]

see how here he has 2 options

4070 and radeon graphics?

you should see a radeon graphics

[dense fossil]

I dont see radeon graphics

[stark holly]

ok on that same screen expand "processor" what does it say there

[dense fossil]

oh I see it now, but it doesnt show disable

just uninstal

[stark holly]

open up a new chat in #1027757333117415424

[dense fossil]

Dude what

Someone closed the other one

Oh wait nvm

[dense fossil]

Chat i got my refunds early and I have a 200 dollar best buy gift card

Do I get a cpu and mobo first or get ddr5 ram before prices skyrocket

@stark holly

[glass glen]

whys ur cooler fan wrong way round lol

[dense fossil]

Oh that? That was by accident

I dont think it negatively impacts anything however

[glass glen]

it should be worse since its the other way round

but i thik cause 5600gt is just a low power cpu so you can still go by with it and not throttle

[dense fossil]

Replacing cpu with a 78003xd instead. Got a b850 eagle mobo just now, and I got the ddr5 ram I need. But ill be sure to put the cooler the other way lmao

[stark holly]

https://tenor.com/view/omgbruh-omg-bruh-emote-black-man-gif-998525100428096442

Here I was tryna stay in budget

just say you got cheddar brah

[dense fossil]

Well

Yes and no

Its complicated

[dense fossil]

I am one cpu away from 7 years of stability

[outer falcon]

its a great 1440p card just not priced well

thats why people dog it

i ran a 4060ti 8gb not long ago. It served me pretty well

[dense fossil]

I gained the 16gb vram recently actually

[outer falcon]

you bought the 16 gig model?

[dense fossil]

I had the 8 gig previously but my friend bought the 16gb for me cus I did a job for him not long ago

[outer falcon]

nice

its great for 1440p

what screen do you use?

[dense fossil]

Its an h24 I think?

Hp24?

[outer falcon]

could you look in settings in display what resolution you use?

[dense fossil]

I can change the refresh rate to 75 and it can go 1920 x 1080

[outer falcon]

do you still have any gaming problems?

[dense fossil]

I havent built the pc yet

Im working for the cpu now

[outer falcon]

i reccomend (if you have money left) to buy a good deal on a 1440p monitor (120-180hz) they go for around 100 bucks where i live. The reasons why i reccomend this is because your machine will absolutely destroy 1080p and the visual quality difference of 1080p and 1440p is quite significant.

however it can wait since gaming on a 1080p monitor is still a nice experience

[dense fossil]

Sounds good. I can do that but it'll take a bit.

[outer falcon]

alright champ

[dense fossil]

Im on strike currently

[outer falcon]

goodluck with the build

[dense fossil]

Thanks dawg, I hope this thing lasts me years

Considering prices for parts are outrageous

[outer falcon]

yeah i saw you bought ddr5 ram. that mustve costed you a kidney

[dense fossil]

A kidney and a toe bru

The cpu isnt gonna be easy either

But I can wait

[outer falcon]

which cpu are you buying?

[dense fossil]

7800x3d

[outer falcon]

damn

i use that cpu too

[dense fossil]

My pops said he'd get it for me for Christmas, but knowing him I know hes gonna make me do something for it later like repair his car

[outer falcon]

its a great cpu however its not a neccesery upgrade a 7600x would also run pretty well with your 5060ti 16gb and save you like 250 bucks

depends on what games you play but if you plan on playing in 1440p id reccomend saving on the cpu a bit more if your short on money

the 7600x has great single core performance

and its 6 cores handle all games quite well (atleast as far as i know)

but if you really care about future proofing then the 7800X3D is gonna last you very long as its one of the best gaming cpu's out now

also @dense fossil if you choose a 7600X you dont need a very powerfull PSU and you can reliably use the cooler you already have. The 7800X3D is very hot (mine idles at 50 with a big fat 2 tower cooler)

[dense fossil]

So I must decide between 7600X and 7800x3d

I have time to decide

Like I said im on strike

Its Christmas soon, im a tad bit busy with art projects, and I have SLIGHT feeling the army is going to contact me in January

[dense fossil]

Ive been wanting to play battlefield 6 and the latest games, I was very excited to try out the oblivion remastered but my final conclusion with the game is that its going to run like shit no matter my specs (Bethesda cant fix their games at all)

[outer falcon]

haha true some things are just horribly optimised

id reccomend going the 1440p route i love 1440p

[dense fossil]

Me too, ill go that route as well

4k is too expensive and I cant tell the difference anyways

[outer falcon]

yes the leap between 4k and 1440p is not as big as 1080 and 1440p. Also 4k takes alot of performance away. 1440p is the GOAT giving good visual quality with good performance especially with a system with a 7600x and a 5060TI. you would get good fps in all games (the well and decently optimized ones)

[dense fossil]

Uh as for the cpu

The 7600x is ryzen 5

[outer falcon]

yes

[dense fossil]

My motherboard only takes the 7 to 9 series

[outer falcon]

wait a minute im gonna check something

[dense fossil]

Gotcha

[outer falcon]

i think you read something wrong

it supports the 7000 and 9000 series of cpu

the ryzen 5 7600X belongs to the 7000 series of cpu

[dense fossil]

Oh righttt

Yeah I misread that

[outer falcon]

since your b850 supports the am5 system it supports the am5 cpu's of the 7000 and 9000 series

[dense fossil]

I still need to think first anyways

You would prefer 7600x over 7800x3d? Asking cus i had discussions with my dad (a computer engineer) and best buy experts

[outer falcon]

for 1440p gaming and overall value yes

but for the best future proofing and experience no

depends on your priorities

they are both good options

but 1 is more expensive

[dense fossil]

I might save alot of money in the future if I do future proofing, or no?

[outer falcon]

i dont know

in 1440p resolution the 7800X3D is not a whole lot faster then the 7600x

and for hundreds of bucks less

[dense fossil]

7600x sounds better

But this sounds like a decision I need to think about at the right time later

[outer falcon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNvEEUqlB_Q

you will see big differences and small ones

sometimes its 100 fps of difference

sometimes its just 10

goodluck to you man

[dense fossil]

Actually ending my shit if all this goes to a waste and I still end up with the same performance as last time

Jk

But nah I hope to god it goes better

[dense fossil]

@outer falcon yeah uh it seems its already too late and the 7800x3d is coming this saturday

I was actually not expecting that at all lmao

[outer falcon]

Nice

[bright fjord]

If monitor is still up for debate, you can find some 240Hz 1440p at under 200 dollars, which your pc should often be able to drive (if it can’t then just set an fps limit)

[dense fossil]

That'll be easy will totally consider

Alright guys! Im gonna build this on Sunday! Ill give you all updates and stuff of its progress.

If it goes smooth, we can check this discussion as resolved.

[bright fjord]

Great! Could you write down the final specs you decided on now?

[dense fossil]

5060 ti 16 gb
7800x3d ryzen 7
Hypermaster cpu cooler
Rm750e power supply
Kingston hard drives (one 200 gb and one 1tb)
Gigabyte B850 eagle mobo

[outer falcon]

Nice install windows on the 200 Gb one

[dense fossil]

Informing you all the hard drives are from my old computer. I have alot of important files on there, both drives

[dense fossil]

Im building now

[dense fossil]

I wanna clean the metal part out before reapplying, is that possible

[glass glen]

huh what metal part are you taling abt

the heatsink?

if its the heatsink just wipe the old paste and then reapply new paste

[dense fossil]

I was in the middle of that but there is some paste thats hard to reach for me to clean it

I dont have any alcohol on me either so

[dense fossil]

I decided to wipe the heatsink with a damp paper towel and leave to dry is it cooked

[dense fossil]

Ah, the cpu did not come with new thermal paste.

[dense fossil]

Im gonna go out and get some arctic mx 6 paste tomorrow

[glass glen]

usually it comes wioth the cooler

cpu doesnt give you thermal paste

unless you got one with the stock cooler which will have thermal paste on the coolers heatsink preinstalled

[dense fossil]

Im reusing my cpu cooler because its still in good condition. But im assuming I threw the thermal paste tube away cus it was empty I think

[dense fossil]

Computer is not booting

Am I missing anything

[dense fossil]

I removed cmos, repeated gpu, and so on idk whats going on

Holy shit wait I got it

Its fuck8nt on

Aight boot is frozen now

[glass glen]

bro im sorry but what is this cable management

[dense fossil]

My dad did that, im trynna fix it

[glass glen]

on the left ur exhuast fan turn it around too

[dense fossil]

Anyways its not frozen now

[glass glen]

rn its bnlowing air into the case

[glass glen]

nice

[dense fossil]

Yeah ill get to it in a sec

Now its frozen again

[glass glen]

yeah and ur cooler fan too

[glass glen]

huh

did you boot into windows just now

[dense fossil]

I think the hard drives are having a problem

[glass glen]

?

u installed windows on a hdd

[dense fossil]

Yeah

[glass glen]

why not get a 128gb ssd for system if u wanna save money

[dense fossil]

Ok I only plugged one hdd and it took me to the bios screen

[dense fossil]

Cus I have important work files on these drives

[glass glen]

no like u can use ssd just for the system

and all ur files is on ur hdd

u can excess ur files like normal

[dense fossil]

Confused

[glass glen]

? is it me or the pcie 8pin looks upside down

[glass glen]

like u can just use one drive for file and one drive for windows installtion

[glass glen]

@dense fossil

[dense fossil]

Well I decided to plug one hdd in and keep the other unplugged

Thats how one drive takes me to bios screen and the other to bios menu

[dense fossil]

Nah its not dw about it

[glass glen]

oh

the card itself has it upside down

[dense fossil]

Hold on it says diagnosing pc

I think i can reinstall windows through this screen but idk if I get to keep my files

Hol up imma try smth

@glass glen

[glass glen]

something wrong with ur windows lol

if u do this it keeps everything in your "User" but deletes like ur apps

so u only keep ur files

[dense fossil]

Any other method I could try instead of that

@glass glen

[glass glen]

honestly just backup ur files and reinstall

u keep all ur fiels anyways

u just have to reinstall all ur apps

[dense fossil]

So just do it then

[glass glen]

u wanna backit up first or na

or yk

[dense fossil]

Yeah im backing my files up

[glass glen]

you can just have windows installed on another drive

u can excess everything in ur harddrive rn

[dense fossil]

I have both drives plugged in rn

[glass glen]

does ur other drive have windows

or any os installed

[dense fossil]

Nah

Ion think so

Im resetting now

I had clip studio paint for free so Im hoping this shit doesnt corrupt anything

Im scared actually

[glass glen]

🏴‍☠️ or what

[dense fossil]

Pirated yeah

[glass glen]

just install it again from wherever u got it from,

[dense fossil]

Ok bet good

Whay about the stuff I saved on it, like drawing files and stuff

There was a painting i hadn't finished on there

[glass glen]

where is it saved tho

if its saved in ur users itll be fine

[dense fossil]

Currently im getting my display also from the motherboard, not the gpu, this is prolly cus I resetted bios too

[dense fossil]

I think? Prolly was

[glass glen]

did u change the path or just left it as default

i thjink default shoudl savce in documents

[dense fossil]

Yeah I recall it being in documents

I think it'll be fine

I hope

[glass glen]

yeah just wait for it to restart

change ur orientation for ur fans please

after ur done with everything

[dense fossil]

Im gonna do that right away. I'd have to shut the pc down and unplug everything first to organize the wires and rotate the cooler

Will do when restart is done and windows is properly set

[glass glen]

no

dont rotate the cooler

you dont have to unplug anything

you can unclip the fan

turn it around and put the clips on the other side

and clip it back

same for the fan on the left just unscrewm turn around and screw it back

i would suggest you to get an ssd and learn how to install windows from yt or whatever u prefer

and use that are ur system drive

[dense fossil]

Ion think I got the cash for an ssd now, and I was capable of running just hdd last time

[glass glen]

uh ig u can do it once u have money

u can just get the small capacity one so it wont be that expensive

but running ur os on a harddrives really slow

[dense fossil]

Ah the boot has froze again

[glass glen]

do yk how to do this

[dense fossil]

Wtf is this

[glass glen]

wym froze

[dense fossil]

Just frozen

[glass glen]

just

wait for a few mins

ig

probably just harddrive being really slow

[glass glen]

huh

something wrong with teh bios maybe

or ur ram

leave it for a while first

and then what happens after it

[dense fossil]

I reset the bios tho, maybe I should reseat ram after waiting?

[glass glen]

yeah try that maybe

[dense fossil]

Im sorry im losing sm hope rn

Brother I set it to csm by accident motherboard is displaying red light on vga

Im done bruh

[glass glen]

What

Damn

[dense fossil]

Plugged hard drives into my old computer instead and suddenly its working fine

@glass glen

Didnt freeze on boot and went straight to windows 11

Uh

Im missing my c drive

Oh no there's my c drive

Ok it kept all my files and stuff thank god

[dense fossil]

Chat its working

Holy shit

I need to erase all drivers and install new ones now

DDU I think it was

[dense fossil]

@glass glen hey you recommended getting a monitor, what monitor i should get

Sorry wrong ping

@bright fjord YOU recommended getting a monitor, which one do you recommend

[stark holly]

You didn't ask me but what's your abs max budget?

[dense fossil]

He said smth about getting a 120-200 hz monitor for a hundred bucks if I recall

[stark holly]

I'd get 1440p not 1080p

That's nore like $150-200

[dense fossil]

I can still get that

Like next month though

[stark holly]

Look for 180Hz+ 1440p, and preferably at least HDR400

There's also the option of a 27" vs 24" screen. 24" means more pixel density and better for competative gaming, 27" is slightly less crisp but more immersive

[dense fossil]

?

Will this benefit me regarding frames and stutters, I wanna make sure im not throwing more money away

[bright fjord]

but you can often find on ebay even cheaper
even a 170 dollars 300hz one still at 1440p @dense fossil

[dense fossil]

I can afford it next month

Thanks

[bright fjord]

You’re welcome!

[dense fossil]

Holy crap wait nah thats 400 bucks

[bright fjord]

Huh?

Bruh it is 200 on my end

[dense fossil]

Its on sale for 200 but its original sale is 400 yeah

But I dont think it'll be on sale next month

[bright fjord]

Bro in that case, when you have around 200 to spend, look for deals. I’m 99% sure you will find something as good. The monitors are the fastest-evolving component so the prices come down fast!

[dense fossil]

Well I wanna make sure again im not wasting money, how beneficial is it going to be when I buy the monitor

[bright fjord]

It’s great for me and a lot of others but you gotta hear more yourself I think. Ask others. In a month when you have the money, look at the deals and consider

[dense fossil]

Im considering cus I think idk for sure that my current monitor is holding back my pc a bit

Maybe idk im trynna get more input from anyone and you

[dense fossil]

Alright other than the monitor which i will handle next month, I am proud to say that this computer runs exactly how I want it.
