is a Dell xps 8930 with a 3060 good enough for blade and sorcery

[sullen rune]

cpu?ram?

[pallid ridge]

There ain’t any with 3060s

Also please don’t buy from dell

Give me a budget and I can find a better pc

They are literally charging 1300 pound for a 1060 and an i7 8700

@edgy root

[edgy root]

I didn't buy it. It used to be my mom's office pc

[pallid ridge]

Wait how it have a 3060

[rain forge]

I’m guessing external gpu

Like yk those ones that look like pcs but can be connected to a laptop through a type c cable pretty sure

[edgy root]

I got a 9700 not a 8700

although I didn't get a dedicated gpu

[pallid ridge]

Still way off its value

But it does meet recommended specs for blade and socery

[edgy root]

ok

[pallid ridge]

So you should be good to go

[edgy root]

bet

tbh I think I'll just get a new pc in a few months

[pallid ridge]

Better choice

[edgy root]

yeah

I have one in mind

[pallid ridge]

If u can u prob reuse the 3060

If it’s in the 8930

[pallid ridge]

Show me

[edgy root]

@pallid ridge

[pallid ridge]

Wait what’s the overall budget

[edgy root]

@pallid ridge

[pallid ridge]

Alr

Hm

if the build is 1500 get ddr5 ram and more than 8gb

If u plan on building it

[edgy root]

it has 32 gb

and no

it's a prebuilt

like nzxt or digital storm

[pallid ridge]

I also recommend Ethernet btw

Also there are maybe better valued prebuilts

Lemme ask Dominic if he could fine one for u

[edgy root]

ok

[abstract crater]

GG @edgy root, you just advanced to level 5!

[pallid ridge]

@spiral cedar

[edgy root]

nah tf

[pallid ridge]

Lol

[spiral cedar]

3060 is good enough. I just don't like Build Redux sense it's more pricier than other pre-builts!

[edgy root]

what else would you recomend

[spiral cedar]

shopping on Amazon or Walmart

[edgy root]

hell nah

[spiral cedar]

why not?

[edgy root]

Because I haven't seen a good pc that isn't a scam from either of those

plus, walmart? really?

Amazon might be good for parts, but not that good for prebuilts

[pallid ridge]

Well that website is going u showed us a bit crazy

[edgy root]

?

[pallid ridge]

Like random ass 12gen and no ddr5 for 1500$

[spiral cedar]

I recommend amazon with great return policies!

[pallid ridge]

And a overrated 4060 with low beam

[spiral cedar]

that's fine for a 4060

[pallid ridge]

Vram*

[edgy root]

how bad is 8

[spiral cedar]

pre builts it's like all Nvidia gpus. barely AMD. not much to do there

[spiral cedar]

it's ok. just wont be able to play newest games on ultra

8gb will do fine for 1080p high

[edgy root]

I mean, I don't really care about running stuff on ultra

[edgy root]

ok

I can edit the build tho

[spiral cedar]

I just don't like build redux

[edgy root]

It doesn't have amd gpu

but it does have amd cpu

[spiral cedar]

most pre-builts don't have AMD gpu

[edgy root]

yeah\

I just don't really want to spend hours of time building a pc

[spiral cedar]

my one thing I noticed with build redux, I noticed the parts have a bump in price and you still got to pay for it to be built

[spiral cedar]

you don't. use amazon

amazon has a great return policy

[edgy root]

actually I'm looking at build redux again

it does have some amd gpu's

only 2 but still

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB

and one that's way over my budget

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB

which is better

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB

or 4060

[edgy root]

also, is Intel Core i5-12400F 6-Core good enough

[spiral cedar]

4060 seems to be 10% better

[edgy root]

ok

[spiral cedar]

yes

[edgy root]

ok

[spiral cedar]

how much is there 6600xt though?

[edgy root]

it's a lil more than the 4060

also

new build

[spiral cedar]

weird, usually amd is cheaper

[edgy root]

one sec

'

rate

[spiral cedar]

let me look on amazon for around $1,300 or cheaper

[edgy root]

ok

[spiral cedar]

$1300, gets you a decent cyberpower pc! https://www.amazon.com/CyberPowerPC-i7-13700F-GeForce-Windows-GXiVR8040A14/dp/B0CBL8N3FC/ref=sr_1_14?crid=1F7RUWM08SJCD&keywords=gaming+pc&qid=1706039460&refinements=p_36%3A100000-130000&rnid=2421879011&sprefix=gaming+pc%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-14&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.765d4786-5719-48b9-b588-eab9385652d5\

with a Intel 13700f and a upgrade gpu to a 4060ti

[edgy root]

Does it come with drivers installed?

[spiral cedar]

another one a bit cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Skytech-Gaming-Nebula-PC-Desktop/dp/B0C66NM86J/ref=sr_1_21?crid=1F7RUWM08SJCD&keywords=gaming%2Bpc&qid=1706039588&refinements=p_36%3A100000-130000&rnid=2421879011&sprefix=gaming%2Bpc%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-21&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.765d4786-5719-48b9-b588-eab9385652d5&th=1

[spiral cedar]

any pc you need to install gpu drivers yourself

It doesn't auto install

[edgy root]

with build redux, it comes preinstalled

[spiral cedar]

how?

[edgy root]

Build + Setup + Testing + Warranty

that's the extra $99

[pallid ridge]

Isint cyber power shit?

[spiral cedar]

it's ok

it works

no way they preinstall Nvidia drivers. you have to start windows and they def wont have Nvidia drivers installed

anyways when buying. you can easily install gpu drivers. so easy

WOAH @edgy root I recommend this! the 3080 is much faster! https://www.amazon.com/Strix-Liquid-Cooled-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B0C2JL3HGP/ref=sr_1_16?crid=1F7RUWM08SJCD&keywords=gaming+pc&qid=1706039838&refinements=p_36%3A100000-130000%2Cp_n_feature_twenty-three_browse-bin%3A13580788011%2Cp_n_feature_eight_browse-bin%3A23630637011&rnid=23630635011&s=pc&sprefix=gaming+pc%2Caps%2C102&sr=1-16&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.765d4786-5719-48b9-b588-eab9385652d5

[spiral cedar]

what type of drivers though

[edgy root]

check

@spiral cedar https://buildredux.com/pages/support#:~:text=Do you setup and install,the PC before it ships.

[spiral cedar]

it doesn't say gpu drivers. it just says drivers

[edgy root]

which should include gpu drivers

[spiral cedar]

I doubt it. let me check in another discord server

[edgy root]

pl

ok

[spiral cedar]

@pallid ridge what do you think. I went over this months ago with him and he's all fixated on Build Redux after being told from a few others that there's much better options

[pallid ridge]

All he’s worried about is scams and and being lazy

Build redux is strange

100$ for things you can do yourself

Why is testing a cost

[spiral cedar]

Amazon has amazing return policies and cheaper known brand pre builts on amazon for cheaper or better

or sometimes both

Cyberpower is a known brand that will do him just fine

[pallid ridge]

This is true just how do we let him know

He must have had some bad experience with it

[spiral cedar]

he wont listen

hes all build redux

[edgy root]

It's really just because most people say to not by pre-builts from Amazon

I also know that ltt and other pc youtubers like build redux

That's really the only reason

[spiral cedar]

amazon is just a online store to sell a lot of many things. and they have great return policies!

[pallid ridge]

There are some real ones

[pallid ridge]

They like it but no love it

[spiral cedar]

but if you want to waste money, it's your call

[pallid ridge]

Real

[edgy root]

Is iBuyPower good

[pallid ridge]

NO

ABSOLUTELY NOT

[edgy root]

ok

[spiral cedar]

its fine

[pallid ridge]

they always fail

So many of them seen in repair shops

People cal it I buy problems

[edgy root]

My friend has an iBuyPower build with pretty good specs

[pallid ridge]

Just the quality really

[edgy root]

What brands do you recommend?

[pallid ridge]

tbh zach tech turf makes good builds

[edgy root]

ok

I'm subbed to that guy

[pallid ridge]

I don’t really recommend main pc companies but they daylight steal money with their pc prices

Like nzxt

[edgy root]

ok

damn this is good

[pallid ridge]

What price

[edgy root]

$1,425.00

[pallid ridge]

Seems about right

@spiral cedar what do u think

[spiral cedar]

yeah pretty good

I normally dont like ztt for content, but I heard they make good builds

[edgy root]

damn that pc is cheaper than the parts'

i think at least

couldn't find the 2 x 16 ram so I just put 2 x 8 twice

probably dumb asf

but yeah
