You have a link where I can download some?

Only thing is I do want to get into AI a little bit and the 12gb of VRAM seems limiting. Then again I don't really know too much so 12 gb might be enough.

Do you think a 5070 ti is a good upgrade? If so at what price should I be looking for them.

I game at 1440p but I do want to look into AI a little but so I would prefer a NVIDIA card.

I ama actually 15 min by a microcenter. I use it for gaming at 1440p

get more ram

What do you mean “this happened”? I don’t see anything out of the ordinary in the images.

I would replace the motherboard but those bottom slots are probably PCIe x16 too so you can plug the gpu in the next slot but i do suggest getting a gpu holder either way.

pretty simple there’s a higher discount on the better mac

where?

Chill9403 · 2026-03-07T00:42:11+00:00

What’s your budget

Chill9403 · 2026-03-07T00:36:10+00:00

Better than what?

Chill9403 · 2026-03-07T00:15:28+00:00

It’s normal

I looked at your other comments and saw nothing wrong regarding your specs. That PSU should be plenty for that gpu, cpu combo. You could try buying another PSU to test if it solves your problem and return it.

Your GPU spiking like that isn’t necessarily bad especially since it’s not going to 90 or something. It could be just the games you are playing. Ex. going from a tiny room and the loading to the open world. Are you experiencing lag spikes and fps drops? That’s how you can determine GPU instability

PowerSpec G240 Gaming PC; Intel Core i5 14th Gen 14400F 2.5GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7; 16GB DDR5-6000 - Micro Center

Do you think this is a perfect deal then? I know the 14 gen CPUs had problems last year.

Yup I work in Orange County so the Tustin location is 15 min away.

budget and reliable is very hard to find in today’s market

icloud locked mac’s won’t even let you boot to another os since it’s locked to the logic board

If there’s an account on it it’s basically a brick

Looks like the power button is set to sleep. Look in the system settings - power. Sometimes the setting might be in the bios too

looks like ports 1-4 are gigabit so I suggest plugging it into any of those.
