I was told swap the gpu for something with the same performance and get 32 gb ram

orchid kiln
#

Both are the same

#

You posted the same link twice

#

CRAP

tough crater
#

I would personally get the RTX 3060 Ti but it's really not that big a deal, it's only about a 1.6% difference with little to no price difference

tough crater
#

I wouldnt have even thought to swap it since there's no bottlenecking

#

you also have relatively low speed RAM added

#

These would do you well and you can buy 4 of the sticks to make 32GB

#

although if you wanna be cheaper you can just go with 16GB

#

only difference is you would have to not be a maniac and leave 200 tabs open

#

although I would always have more RAM anyways

#

but I'm not going to pretend like you have Jeff Bezos' Credit Card

#

otherwise nothing else is slapping me in the face, decent build

#

except for the SSD, it seems to be a cheapy brand that I wouldn't trust on my PC

#

I'd grab a Samsung, Sabrent or Kingston SSD

#

$10 more but trust worthy

#

same speed and size too

#

This would be my preferred modification but that's if I had a few more bucks to spare

#

3060 ti is a downgrade

#

change the cpu to a 5600x3d

tough crater
#

3060 ti is upgrade

orchid kiln
#

ram to 32gb

orchid kiln
tough crater
#

the benchmarks disagree

orchid kiln
#

its really not

tough crater
zinc sable
#

roughly $800 for a build with good speced parts

tough crater
#

and also the upgrade to the x3d is hardly worth the $200 difference

zinc sable
#

Yeah 2x16GB so if you want to add more RAM you can just fill the other DIMM slots

#

A well-balanced build. Good luck on the build @wicked herald

tough crater
#

YEEEE

#

excellently balanced

#

like my recommendation of the 3060Ti is the biggest of nitpickings

orchid kiln

#

also the 3060 ti is only 8gb of vram

#

I would go with Win11 pro

orchid kiln
#

6700xt has more room for future titles

#

mmm interesting, what features?

zinc sable
#

Definitely get Win11 since microsoft will end support for win10 in 2025

#

bitlocker device encryption, VM sandboxing to test websites, programs, scripts.

#

since pro is geared towards business users, some updates for businesses

#

Home is fine for most users but I prefer pro for additional functionality

tough crater
#

ah, I wonder why some of those security features arent just standard and just have the one version

tough crater

#

I mean, alot of things go unused by the average joe anyways, and consolidating it would drive down the price since it simplifies developement

zinc sable
#

makes sense I'm guessing some updates for pro and enterprise versions need to be more thoroughly tested

tough crater
#

maybe it's about creating dilemas and not problems

zinc sable
#

or update cycle needs to happen more often

zinc sable
#

just a rumor. to really streamline the bloat

#

i like that idea

tough crater
#

because in terms of security if you create a dilema you create seperate avenues of approach, so like if you are a bad actor you'll have to choose a target now instead of being able to target just anyone, so now the time it takes you to find work arounds in let's say Home means less time you have to find work arounds for Pro

#

and having that split between households and buisnesses(typically) means that you can spend time customizing the security to protect specific assets better since that's the information that is more likely to be target at say a household or buisness

#

I like thinking about these things

#

sorry, way off topic

#

So @zinc sable Any changes I should make to this setup? I have the budget of $1000

#

maybe 900

#

so any changes
