I dont need perfect graphics or framerate or anything, I just want to be able to play new games at 30FPS. Honestly, if you can get a Ryzen 5000 series CPU with integrated graphics, that might be enough for you until GPU prices come down a bit. Won't run much on 4K ultra-high, but it should certianly run just about anything at reasonable settings. AMD's integrated graphics are really good. Be even better if you can hold off for the Ryzen 7000 series, but that won't be until probably towards the end of the year.

If you're playing at 1080p or are fine with lowering graphics settings or having a lower frame rate, then something like a 3050 or 3060 should be good enough.

Shablagoo 02/01/22 5:37:00 AM #41:	Thanks for the advice, everyone! Im writing all this down. CommonStar posted... What is your budget? What games do you plan to play? And at what resolution? Honestly Im willing to drop like $3K if need be, to get a reliable machine. If the resolution can match, say, a standard PS4 thatd be good enough for me (sorry, Im so out of touch with the technical terms at this point in my life). As for games, I want to be able to play the newest releases. Right now Im eyeing Age of Empires 4 specifically but Id like to be able to play more intensive stuff such as Halo or the new Fable when it comes out. --- "if i was a woman i would mail kyle rittenhouse my panties." ~ledbowman "Out of those two?

teep_ 02/01/22 5:42:50 AM #43:	If you do buy a pre-built, I'd recommend looking at some reviews.

CommonStar 02/01/22 10:36:32 AM #44:	Prebuilt is probably the only choice right now if you want a decent graphics card. GPU prices are stupid atm and I think recommending past generation graphics card at MSRP or higher is pretty disgusting. <cite>CommonStar posted [p:962269387] in Alright, I...

Giant_Aspirin 02/01/22 11:11:29 AM #45:	i built a new desktop PC back in November. i considered a pre-built for the same reasons others here suggested one -- reliable way to get a solid GPU for a reasonable price. but i found that every pre-built machine was lacking something i wanted, or used low quality part(s) (notably PSUs). i was able to find an RTX 3060 for $509 from Microcenter, which is a pretty solid price based on what i saw. definitely recommend checking them out if you build your own. --- Playing: Prey; Dead Cells I hope something good happens to you today <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:962270175] in Alright, I...
