This is probably the first time I've ever spent more than $125 on a card! Have been a regular purchaser of used here for 20 years. Finally said screw it and spent some real money on myself. Not top of the line, but it's going to do what I want, and better than I've ever had before.

On amazon
6800xt - $469.99
6800 - $369.99
I've got the xt in my cart along with a LG 27GP850-B monitor. Will be $812.33 after tax for me. Just have to press the button!
That's the question, which do I get? For now it'll still be 1080p gaming, but I expect to buy a new monitor soon. I'll probably stick with 1440p, but may go 4k. Plan to play Starfield first once I have something. Is the XT worth an extra $100?
Rig it's going in.

Can someone reengineer the 8 Pro with the battery and lidar of the Iphone and pen and customization of the Samsung? Then I think its a no brainer. All that said, still think I may go with the 8 Pro. Would be my first Google phone. Still on a Galaxy S10+.
I'm well aware of the economy and I understand it. Doesn't mean I have to like it. And its not ALL going up. RAM and storage is pretty damn cheap right now. Other stuff is coming back down to earth. It's why I finally went ahead and built a new computer recently. Graphics cards continue to...
My thoughts exactly! Haven't ordered the 6800xt yet because I didn't want to spend $500. But kind of looks like I'm going to have to spend that much to get that or this or anything else decent. Cause Starfield looks like crap on my RX580.
For somone who still on 4G (Samsung Galaxy S10+) and thinking about a Pixel, is the 8 looking like it'll be that disappointing? What's the best alternative (Android)? I've liked my S10+, but its starting to go south. My wife has an S22 and isn't a huge fan.
My wife used to boil the raman noodles, drain all the water, then put on the seasoning packet and eat it. Might as well just sprinkle salt on plain noodles. Not sure how her heart has survived as long as it has!
I'm woefully out of the loop on video cards these days. My RX580 doesn't appear to be up to the task on this build (in my sig). Having some issues with Hogwarts Legacy, even on lower settings (especially around water). I'd like something new for Starfield as well. Currently only need 1080p...
Seemed to be more an issue with activating windows. Fresh install and all going well now.
Can't wait to finish setting this up and load some games! Glad I finally pulled the trigger and replaced my 10 year old system.
Next steps are upgrade the rx580 and a new monitor. But will have to...
Super clean. My rx580 kinda fugs it up a bit. Installed everything in the case easy. Only thing I need to added are some sata drives.
Got Windows installed and it bricked while installing some updates. So starting over again. Walked away, not sure what happened. Fingers crossed it won't...
Thanks for the suggestions. After looking a bit more, I think I am going to go with the Corsair 4000D. Plus my local Best Buy has one in stock, so I can just go pick it up today.
I haven't bought a case in 10+ years and I'm going nuts on the options right now. Here's what I'll be putting in it and what I need out of it...
*Standard air/fan cooling. Not overclocking.
*Don't need RGB or even a window. The look means almost nothing to me. I don't care if I see my parts...
I'm still debating maybe going with the A2 or B2. I don't currently have a 4k capable TV, so I'm quite behind the times. I don't have any intention of using it as a monitor or gaming with it either. So either of those would probably still be a big upgrade at lesser cost. I'm also not...
Yep, typical Prime day BS. The 1 thing I was hoping for a deal on was a 48inch LG C2 OLED. They didn't even both to raise the price and then put it on sale like they did with other sizes. Still not sure I want to spend $900 on it. I could possibly fit the 55 but it would be tight. But I...
same price directly through Samsung and other places as well.

How is Google with the trade-ins? My Galaxy S10+ is in very good shape and Google says $340 for trade-in, but how likely is that? BB only offering $85.
Finally looking to upgrade my 10+ year old Acer H243H TN with something 32inch. I can't figure out what's better or not, and I know that's subjective anyway. So the question is, will I be disappointed either way I go? Below is what I have and the VA I'm looking at. The monitor will mostly be...
The Gigabyte M32Q is also $300. They look pretty similar and the M32Q has a few more interesting features. Anyone with thoughts on that one compared to the LG?

I am definitely interested in this. But if I'm honest, I rarely game much anymore. Would this be overkill for everday office work? That's probably what I'd use it for the most, and then game when I can.
That Kyro card was my first "big" gaming card. Used it for a long time, loved it. Think I tossed it in a box with a bunch of other stuff I sold here last year. Otherwise I'd send it to you.
