    Buy this or build?

    Thank you for clarifying the GDDR6 vs 6x. This is the type of stuff I have no knowledge of. The below links are a standard 4070 with gddr6x and a super with the same. Is the super worth the extra $50...

    The 4070ti super is not in the budget. Need something in the $500-600 range. Options?

    Video card doesn’t appear to be a super. Should it be?

    I know better on the RAM. Must have accidentally clicked the wrong one and obviously didn’t notice. Nice catch. I will double check on the video card.

    Buy this or build?

    The sale ended on that prebuilt, so it’s a non issue now. Talked him into building. I used another sites $1500 guide for the below parts. With OS, it puts me a little over $1600. Is there anything that I can substitute to get me closer to the $1500 mark without sacrificing performance...

    My adult son needs a new rig. I can build it, but I don’t follow things close enough to stay current on what’s good and what’s not. He is looking at this system...

    Old computer running slow

    Surfing the web and running assorted office apps is exactly what they will use it for. Possibly photoshop, but when I say photoshop, I mean like cropping a photo or getting really “advanced “ by adjusting the exposure.

    Old computer running slow

    Thanks for all of the replies!!! So, I spoke with my parents. They do not wish to throw money/parts at a relic. Thankfully, they came to this decision on their own and I did not have to try and talk them into it. So, that is the direction that we're headed. I mentioned before that in...

    Old computer running slow

    I am certainly not opposed to starting with a new build. They've already given me the go ahead if that is the best course of action.

    Old computer running slow

    Thanks so much for all of the replies!!! Yes, I meant GB, LOL. Hard drive is a WD Blue, 7200 RMP, 1TB. I can certainly put in an SSD. Windows 10 was a free upgrade, so I'm not sure I can do a clean install as there is probably no physical media. I'll have to look into cloning. A dedicated...

    New build form?

    I haven't been on in a while, but there use to be a new build form that asked a bunch of questions (What's your budget, what are your intended uses, monitor size, do you have an OS, etc) that you could fill out an someone would help you with a build. I don't see this offered anymore. Did it go...

    Webhosting Change - Email

    I want to change web hosting services. Godaddy has become far too expensive. On top of their already high prices, I got an email saying that they are going to start charging $12/mo, per email address. That seems ridiculous to me, especially at 8-10 email addresses. I am a little concerned...
