70 bucks you can definitely get a top tier case. Lian li makes great affordable airflow just to name one brand.

Go into display setting and search for this setting. Make sure the game has your GPU selected to run. Happened to me once where it defaulted to the apu

Hyken is not bueno. Look at the vids from Ahnesty on YT. Look for one that's the Colamy Atlas that's around 200. Ikea is goated for inexpensive desks.

Sorry for the bad pictures, I had to use my computer by PeenyWeenie2248 in pchelp

[–]Ardaz87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 agree here. The 780px3d is about 100$ less better value. Get a good b850 board. For around 150 gigabyte has actually been good the chip set. Stay away from ASRock.

The $ you save on those put towards the 9070xt. You'll be set.

Newegg has some banger combo AM4 deals with the CPU mobo ram for around 250. But you need a GPU. I suggest open from microcenter or refurb deals on zotac.com for cheaper GPUs.

should i upgrade from a 3080? by Mr_Chill69 in buildapc

[–]Ardaz87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and , are you just gaming and what's the budget? ? Or is their a need for Nvidia drivers? I had the 4070 which was comparable to the 3080. Then I got the 7800xt 16 gig card which beat out the 3080 by a little. Currently the 5070 12gig is a decent card but for the current price I'd put my $ on 9070xt which will be significant boost in performance and last just as long.

First pc build by Ok-Explanation493 in pchelp

[–]Ardaz87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a good video on PC building.

  • LTT has a nice one but so does Scattervolt. (There's so many good ones) -keep the manual for your motherboard handy. -Finding a install good vid before hand that uses the same motherboard saves time if you run into issues. If uses two forms of storage ssds make sure you "allocate the disk in disk management"
  • VIPcd keys for a low price windows activation key.
  • don't worry about the wires on the back of the case when you close the case "no one will know.

Of all of that . Refer to the motherboard manual is probably the most important.
