Who the fuck is putting a computer together when RAM and SSDs are so expensive? Noone is retarded enough to pay that much.
>>109532234it's just a few bux more.
>>109532241But it's the principle. Never reward those who rub their hands together.
>>109532234Same people buying RTX 5080s for $1800
>>109532258you are still going to have pass for gasyou are still going to have to pay for foodyou are still going to have pay for electricityyou are still going to have to pay for water you are still going to have to pay your taxes but you draw the line at a gaming pc?
is this a good deal
>>109532279*pay
>>109532234It's just $800 for budget, $1600 for mid level (no peripherals), not great, not terrible.
>>109532299build me a pc with $800 thats am5you cant
>>109532282If you need 32gb ddr5 then its okay. I dont think the prices will go back to normal anytime soon
>>109532234It's more expensive than yesterday but cheaper than tomorrow.
>>109532282>value gaming>$397.97
Last chance to build a PC and still get raped but not completely was last year.Now it's total brutal financial rape. Desolate tier.
>>109532277i hate that fat faggot seth rogan every project he touches makes me seethe
I love AMD :)
>>109532299>$800 for budgetWhat specs?
>>109532367Its false obviously, its more like "I got a good deal on a used pc" tier.
I'm only going to buy rdna5 after rdna6 leaks confirm the flagship won't have much more ram, it's been decided.
>>109532367you can even do 1440p60 on this babyuse the remaining $100 for either a case, or a rx9060xt 16gb or something>>109532380skill issue
>Browsing through the history of an old Newegg accountMan, take me back to 2010s
>>109532400first consumer "chiplet" gpu if you think about it
>>109532395ooops, the SSD eats the remaining $100, mea culpa. but yeah, it's $850, come on.
>>109532395replace the cpu with a 5800x3d and a 9060 xt 16gb and you'll have a real build for 1440p for the next few years
Anyone else waiting for the super cards?
>>109532429>he still hopes for super
>>109532429cant afford em
>>109532429>5050 9gbwaste of perfectly good RAM chips
are any of the intel cards good?
>>109532455they get outperformed by a gtx 970 in cs2
>>109532429the prices are going to be literally insane, like a mental assylum patient decided themthere is a hope rdna5 prices won't be complete cuckoo because amd needs the market share, but not even that is confirmedbuying a $600 9070xt last year during black friday was a great deal
>>109532429I'm waiting for RDNA5 personally.
>>109532460oooooooooooof
>>109532455they're apt budget cards, can manage 1440p60 in modern games. however, you gotta use dxvk on directx11 and older games in order to squeeze max performance out of them, so not 100% retard friendly.
>>109532487it also doesn't work for multiplayer games since they ban you for fucking and injecting the game files
>>109532495proof? dxvk is used by steamos
>>109532501i am on linux and if the online game doesn't explicitly allow it via it's anti cheat etc you won't be able to join a match or even start the game the mechanism it uses to replace dx11 with vulkan hooks into the game files (like a cheat) via it's dll files any half decent anti cheat is going to look at that and block it
>>109532395Is the 5500 enough for the b580? I heard it has high cpu driver overhead so I am not sure if it is good enough unless they fixed it.
>>109532429i know greenfags are kind of special but did you try reading that thing called word between parenthesis?
The good news is that PC gaming is still just as cheap and as good as it’s ever been, unless you’re some stupid sheep that only plays the latest AAA UE5 slop. The golden age of PC gaming was a roughly 25 year span starting in 1990. These are the greatest games ever made and they can all easily run on an ewaste dell office pc with a $40 GPU upgrade. Multiplayer is different, but those games usually run on your cheap toaster, anyways. Reject modernity, buy old hardware and play old games. Pic mostly unrelated.
>>109532447It's a cheap way to upgrade a 5090 to 48gb. Just buy 6 of them
>>109532523the 5500 can handle a 9060xt so the b850 will be fine
>>1095325835500 is about as fast as a 3600 since half it's cache is missing
>>109532583>>109532587i member even when i payed 115 for my 3600 in 2020 right before corona
the 3600 even has pcie 4.0 while the 5500 is pcie 3.0 only

>>109532234You only need 16 GB RAM and 1TB SSD to get a PC running and usable for 99% of use cases.
>>109532282No it's not.
>>109532395>>109532425And add more storage. 512 GB is just enough for the OS and perhaps the user profile.
>>109532670512 is enough on linux + like 4 big games
>>109532686Linux has "big games"?
>>109532429They won't relese them because more VRAM is currently not available.And if it was it wouldn't be affordable.
>>109532707any game runs on linux these days, except for the ones with spyware anticheat
whats the best gpu to get used under $250
>>109532787IGPU that comes with your processor for 0$
>>109532234Stalk Facebook Market. That's what I did. Some guy sold me a 4Tb MX500 SSD for $100 about a month ago. He discounted it because it had some minor scuffing. Drive was fine. I see people from time to time list DDR5 for its old prices and so managed to get 64gb of DDR5 for $150 (albeit mismatched), same deal with GPUs, got an RX 7900 GRE for $360.Depends on your market obviously but I'm in a mid sized southern city, if you're in a bigger town, you likely could get everything done in just a few weeks. Just got to be patient and forget about the cosmetics.
>>109525394>5900xt has inter ccd lag thoughbeitessentially a lie. It's literally true, but the performance is the performance.And, it makes it sound like there's no advantage to having multiple ccds.There's a huge advantage, you have lower risk of stress fractures. It's an insanely wise choice for *some* users, which is to say most, actually.Again, performance is performance. You can't point out a design decision's POTENTIAL problems without looking at the engineering OUTCOME.
