    Good budget gpu

    Thanks. I have seen a few 3060s on FB marketplace for $250ish but I felt that was too much. Are any of these good deals- $250 for a 4060, $160 for an A580, or a 6600xt for $220(I plan to offer him $170).

    Cool. Thanks. I think a 3060 is my sweet spot right now. I could always put that into my pc if a good deal on something newer comes out.

    Good budget gpu

    Just checked my psu and it's a 750W so I think my biggest restrictiion will be the size of the card now. I just saw a 4060 for $250 on the For sale page and there's a local guy selling a 3060 for $150. Is it worth the extra $100?

    You are correct. My psu has two 6+2 pin connectors. Thanks for all the replies. I'm gonna take a look at Best Buy for some open box deals. If not, I seen some used 3060s for sale locally.

    Good budget gpu

    Looking at just a gpu for now. I have seen two 3060s on FB Marketplace for $220 and $150. Seems like reasonable prices but I don't know if I trust buying off Marketplace. As for upgrading cpu, I may look into a new build sometime next year. I used to be a die hard AMD guy but switched to Intel...

    Good budget gpu

    Well, my son's gpu finally crapped out. It's an old gtx 960 lol. I need recommendations on a good budget card in the $200-300 range(preferably closer to $200). It also needs to fit in a mAtx case. He plays online games like Fortnite and some car racing game. What are some options? Off the top of...

    [hot]XFX 6750 XT $295 @ Newegg and $300 @ Amazon

    I was just looking at this gpu. So then $300 is a good price for that 6750?? My son mainly plays online games like Fortnite and some other racing game. It would be paired with an i7 9770 cpu if that matters.

    Used gpu- good idea?

    Ok, so I was finally able to check his pc. It has a 750w psu and only has two 8-pin connectors. Size-wise, it should fit. Would I need a bigger psu?

    Used gpu- good idea?

    That's my only worry. It's a mAtx board and case so I have to be careful on size of the gpu. Although my case is a full sized, so if I'd doesn't fit his, It'd fit just fine in mine.

    Used gpu- good idea?

    It's an old Nvidia gtx960. He mainly plays Fortnite online and it seems to be handling it well enough. I just don't want to get to the point where I HAVE to buy one so I'm trying to stay ahead of the game- no pun intended. 😁

    Used gpu- good idea?

    I know this probably been asked a million times, but thoughts on used gpu's? My son need a new-ish gpu and someone is selling a Radeon 6650xt on marketplace for $220. From what I've read, this is a good mid-tier gpu. Is this a good price and what are your experiences buying used?

    Dell laptop is super slow

    My minimum processor state is 75% and my max is 100%(on battery). This is why I can't understand why with no load it's running about 75% but then drops to 34% when stressing. I'll take a look at the bios also.

    Dell laptop is super slow

    I have a dell GS5587 laptop that my wife bought new for me a few years ago. This thing has just gotten super slow to the point it is painful to use! I have added 8gb RAM and run a defrag. None of that has helped. I also just ran a cpu bench test with CPU-z and the scores seemed very low(284.8...

    Suggestions for my build

    Yea I figured i could get a decent build at my price point. I'm really looking for suggestions on brands since I imagine things have changed quite a bit since my last build. Are there certain manufacturers I should avoid? What are the best budget brands?

    Suggestions for my build

    Hadn't thought about what country! Lol! I guess in the USA, and probably from Amazon or newegg(no microcenter near me). Seeing as I don't need a gpu, I'm hoping to keep it around $400 or so. I'd prefer everything new. No plans to oc either.
