Is this good?

[dark thicket]

Recently I joined the AF and have got to my tech school, with this, I now have a workload of studyguides and pdfs being downloaded more than I like to.

Right now Id mainly like to prioritize something that can run my games smoothly (whilst having work material on it) as well as discord open and running, the games I play mainly consist of Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, Roblox, and Tekken.

I usually run games low graphics high fps, but i still like to have the option of higher graphics for games like Tekken every now and then

Any suggested upgrades?

i whould get an ard b580 if you can but otherwise its a good build

and get tiny11 if you can its a faster version of win 11

https://www.ibuypower.com/store/intel-core-14th-gen-starter-gaming-pc

This is the link i used for it

I dont see those as options

Would you recommend me using a different site?

If so please do send me one where i can find those parts too,

I dont have time to build the pc so im trying to get it sent pre built

As in the arc 580

The tiny11 i assume i can settup off gitlab and all that with a clear Windoes 11 ISO (according to google)

How much is that costing you? That’s ass.

No one should be buying a 5050. You’re basically getting a 1080ti with MFG

[dark thicket]

1450$

I changed a few things out

My budget is 1600$

Maybe a bit over

But 1700$ at most

If theres any links youd recommend to builds please do send them

Id like to purchase one today as soon as possible

I got a -100$ discount because theres a intel discount today

(All USD)

[halcyon jay]

Yeah don’t be buying that for 1450

You’re slamming yourself in the gut for that money

[dark thicket]

Is there anything you can send me that can lead me into the right direction

I now understand not to,

But what are some alternatives

[halcyon jay]

If you build your own it helps

[dark thicket]

Any names you can give me? GF 5060 ti? GF 4060? AMD RX 9060?

[halcyon jay]

Settle for no less than a 5060ti. You can probably get a 5070 build around 1800ish

5060ti 16gb that is or 9060xt 16gb for the price range

What about these two

Asus 1700$

Lenovo 1880$

Better? Worse? Right direction or step back?

[halcyon jay]

That’s the best one

The 5070 7800x3d

[oblique frost]

This is just worse in every conceivable way

The gm700 is the only reasonable choice here

[dark thicket]

Ah

Everyones said that

Its 100$ so whys it so different
