    SSD Prices

    Thanks, I'll hold on to them. If it looks like I won't need them, I can put them on Facebook without worrying about losing a ton of money on them at least. Looks like I got in right before things went crazy with a few builds before Christmas. Lucked out.

    SSD Prices

    I know ram prices have gone crazy lately, but how about SSD? I purchased a few drives before Christmas that I was going to return. Current price is over twice as much at Walmart now. I might need at least 1 of the drive in the Fall and was wondering if I'd be better off keeping it on the chance...

    Video Card upgrade for AM4 5600x system

    My daughter upgraded her computer recently and has a 5600x, B550 motherboard, 16GB ram and a 3GB 1060. She wants to upgrade her video card but we have a limited budget. She games at 1080p and they main game she is playing now is Balders Gate 3. Was looking at the following Local PNY RTX2070...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Thanks, I missed that. Explains why it was cheaper. I expected the bigger number to be better.

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Will check out the used market here and will see what is available on Black Friday if I don't find something used that looks good before then. Not much on Facebook marketplace in my area right now and try to avoid ebay when I can. Thanks for the help

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Looks like the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a little cheaper than 5600 atm and might end up going that route. Will probably hold out and see what is available on Black Friday to see if I can find a deal. Thanks

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Would a Ryzen 5 3600 be a reasonable option? More cache and PCIe 4.0 support? I'm going to be pairing it with a 3 GB 1060 but would give an upgrade path for a better card.

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    She decided on getting a new motherboard+CPU and moving parts over. I have a power supply and case already, and can take the video card and ram from the old system. Was looking at getting a ASRock B550M Phantom Gaming 4 Micro ATX and a AMD Ryzen 5 5500 unless anyone sees any issues with those...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    One other upgrade option, I also have a oem HP with this mother board https://support.hp.com/hk-en/document/c06418627 . It can support up to a AMD Ryzen 7 3700x which looks to better cpu than the 7700 and is around $90 on ebay. I could then move the 1060 over to it. The power supply is only 300...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Sorry about that, should have mentioned it before. That computer has a 300 watt standard power supply and I have extra 500 I could put in if needed. Was confusing it in the above post with a different computer I have with a proprietary one.

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Good point on Windows 10, I was able to get extended support but that is only for 1 year. I have an AM4 system that is a prebuilt that I could try to upgrade but I don't think it supports any of the better CPUs and the power supply is probably proprietary. Might check the used local market to...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    The 1060 is the 3GB unfortunately. I upgraded it to a SSD a while back. The computer is a prebuilt HP so I double checked that it would support the 7700 and it looks like it will. Realized that the power supply probably wouldn't have supported much of an upgrade for a new video card anyway...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Thanks, looks like building something new will be the best option. Can use old video card for a while if needed and upgrade it when the time comes. For the price, it might be worth trying the 7700 also. Not out much if it dosen't work out. I'll give her the options and let her decide. Thanks again.

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    My daughter has started to have some issues playing Baldur's Gate 3 when playing with her friends. Pretty sure she games at 1080p. The system is old, i5 7400, GTX 1060, 16 GB ram. I'm well out of the loop at this point in my life so not sure what would be a reasonable upgrade. Looks like the...
