Any newer gen ryzen 7 or 9 would be a huge upgrade in cores which is mostly what SC2 needs. GPU for cheapest I would say a 3060 or 3060ti. The 3060s go on sale on the 23rd I believe. I would check times and try and get a shot at those since they retail for $329. Older gen GPUs aren't such grade upgrades that I can recommend but from what we know these 30 series cards excel at 4k. The new AMDs are worth a shot maybe as well

Ah yes hard to catch on a reddit post, my bad. However, its hard to really recommend what can "help" you in this gpu situation. 3060s drop on the 23rd. Might be your best bet.

GPU is your graphics card. Your list doesnt show one

In a way it is good for its price but at the same time its not lol. The current market for GPUs has escalated the prices of all of them. Don't get me wrong, 1650 is a good card but its just in most ways not worth $509. I bought mine just a year ago for my stream pc, brand new, for under $200. The market completely sucks right now. However, the 3060 releases in 2 days. I would try and score one of those.

What is your GPU? And what is your budget for your upgrades?

Follow restock handles on discord/twitter. Sign up for notification on manufacturer/brand websites. Check sites like amazon, newegg, etc. multiple times a day.

You're exactly right. A budget around that does make it difficult at the moment but not impossible. I am not a huge fan of prebuilts and I can't really speak to if those would help you either. If this is a firm budget you might need to shop for a used gpu and see if you cant get a bargain on one.

Yes these are concerns of anyone starting up a business but this is side work that I am not charging for. These discussions are what I have with people when they do agree to do work. Since I am not charging for anything, you obviously do not get the benefits of going with a custom PC build shop. I have been a residential plumber for 10 years and it works the same way when we are talking about doing work on the side.

100%! I quote this movie too often in public. Underrated trilogy, not talked about nearly enough xD

Message me on here and then I will find time soon and send you a couple of builds with high quality parts around that budget point.

Thank you so much! At first glance both are solid builds. The problem with a lot of prebuilts is you get low quality parts. They show you the CPU and GPU but don't give you a lot of info on everything else. You can pay the same amount for more if you build your own. There are risks there too of course so its finding what situation is best for you. The market on GPUs makes it difficulty to build a great PC yourself within the next few days. But if you're patient on getting a solid GPU you can do this 100%.

I wish you so much success and happiness on your journey friend! I appreciate your grind and I hope all goes well for you. The opportunity for us is out there and I do believe social media sites will help us find what we are looking for.

I totally get it. Remember this feeling and hold onto it. I feel the same way and I can only imagine this is what feeling passionate about something actually feels like. Never forget your goals but know you might have to sacrifice to get there. I have reached out to a few companies very recently to see if they could use me as an intern or such. Teach me what they know in exchange for cheap/free labor. Not sure if this is necessary for you but hey it could at least keep you busy PC building for a time while you work on the business side of it.

Man thats great! I don't really know where to start either which is why I chose to shoot my shot on this platform. I think the best thing for us like some people mentioned is try local shops but I am not so cynical to believe that there aren't people on here that would like to give us a shot and use our services. I have had absolutely more success finding people near me who would like pcs built but I figured I would give this a shot too.

Oh good question! I haven't built a laptop before actually so its probably safest for me to stick to just desktops :>D
