what is "sch stuff"?

buoyant flax Jul 9, 2024, 7:37 AM

I presume 'school stuff', but thats a guess - and to be honest I dont know what 'school stuff' is now-a-days - was all on paper when I did it

I'm not making any assumptions, assumptions make a me of you and me

Google research

#

nothing complicated stuff u could simply do on laptop

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

desert fossil sorry i mean like school work

It'll be fine for school work and lower end 1080p gaming. I would recommend you get the 4060 instead of the 3060 however for better performance and no increase to cost.

#

#

e.g. Build with 3060 card:

#

Ah ok

#

ive also realised looking at the build that i can not change it

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:43 AM

#

Don't ask me why the newer, better version is cheaper - it just all depends on cost when the stock was brought in 🙂

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:43 AM

it doesnt let me

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:43 AM

#

Oh you chosen a pre-build rather than building it yourself?

#

Ok - let's start over then

brisk frost Oh you chosen a pre-build rather than building it yourself?

Yea sorry im not good at this

#

i cant build one myself

so considered getting a prebuild

Better GPU, better RAM, better cooler, better PSU. You have budget to spare if you want to add a second storage drive or up the CPU.

lost sand so the PC needs wifi capability, roger

Yess

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:50 AM

#

Ok, in which case that's probably your best bet. I can get your build down to £906 with the 4060 without sacrificing performance - but not down to £800.

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

i see

#

what would this current pc get me graphics/fps wise on games?

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

I linked a chart above with the 3060 vs. 4060 performance

#

#1259961018633945108 message

#

Medium settings at 1080p you're looking around 55fps

#

Totally depends on the game however

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:53 AM

#

I see ok thank u

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:53 AM

#

brisk frost Totally depends on the game however

Hmm how about Fortnite for example? ( and no i dont play that game)

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:54 AM

#

I assume that would be higher rather than lower - I don't play it either, all I know it that it's not well optimised so performance can vary a lot from system to system

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:55 AM

#

Hmm ok

In Elden Ring for example:

#

And thats with high graphics?

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:58 AM

#

Max graphics by the looks

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:58 AM

#

tbh id be running my games from low- medium graphics

#

so do u think that pc can run above 90 fps with that?

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:58 AM

#

Bearing in mine they have a 5800X3D CPU in there which will be boosting those numbers - but it at least gives you an idea

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:58 AM

#

desert fossil so do u think that pc can run above 90 fps with that?

simple games i wont be playing cod or like advances stuff like that

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

Actually.. by lowering your graphics you're relying more on the CPU than the GPU so you may not see those numbers massively improve

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

hm ok thank u

#

so basically high graphics 60fps

#

This what this pc can do?

#

on not to advanced games

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

Well like I said above - Toms Hardware's chart for medium settings has the 3060 at an average of about 55fps.

#

Across a span of games

#

Unfortunately you can't expect high fps/great gaming performance from a PC with an £800 budget - but it will handle most current games with decent frame rates

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 11:02 AM

#

i see

#

Would you say for minecraft for example it could run 200fps maybe?

brisk frost Jul 9, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

If you know which games you're going to be playing - I'd recommend searching them up on youtube with the 3060 and there will no doubt be someone who's run benchmarks on them

desert fossil Jul 9, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

Ok thank you jen

#

I think ill just get this pc

#

i have a rlly good monitor so thats ok
