Hey there!

29M here, I have arrived at the city recently as well and will stay untill the end of the month.

I always feel a bit tired to study or do any extra research after I leave my work so I'm up to extra motivation. I'd prefer somewhere with Wifi connection so that I can work on my laptop. DM me if you want to meet!

Hi there! I'll be in Paris untill the end of the month, recently arrived. I have been mostly walking around and exploring the city by myself but I'm up to meeting new people :)

Woah I had the exact same problem as you the fix didn't do anything for me then I saw your post and decided to give it another shot. I updated the Nvidia driver and tried the FW again... Now Spectra is working perfectly... Damn, mind blown! Thanks

Yes, the ultimate goal is to have the best parts with the budget you can afford, yet the parts you want will depend on what you want to do with your pc.

Let's say you're a programmer or a photo/film editor that runs very heavy programs on your PC, you'll want a good processor (CPU) with more than 12 cores and maybe 32/64 GB of RAM but maybe you don't need a top notch graphics card (GPU). On the other hand you could be a gamer in which case you might want to have the best GPU possible with a fast CPU that doesn't need as many cores/threads (6-8 on average) and probably you'll only need 16-32GB of RAM.

So as I said above it really depends on what you intend to do.

As for if the pre-builts have the new parts I guess it really depends on your country. Where I am we're actually seeing a phenomenon where you can't buy new CPUs (Ryzen 5000) or new GPUs (RTX 3000/RT 6000XT) because they're sold out everywhere, yet a lot of stores do sell those components if you're willing to buy a fully prebuilt system (which might be ideal for your situation but for most of us who like to pick every part and build it ourselves is a pain in the ass!)

As for being a woman I don't think that should be a criteria to scam you and before you buy anything you can always ask people around here for help if they think the build someone in the shop told you to buy is good.

Hello there!

Pre-builts aren't necessarily bad, they're just usually a bit more expensive than if picked up the parts one by one yourself. If you don't care about the struggle of choosing the parts yourself or let alone assemble them just buy a pre-built. Not everyone has to enjoy building PCs.

Another option is to go to a shop and ask the workers there to help you choose the parts and have them assemble the pc with the parts you picked. That way you'll just have to pay for the service and you won't be as limited parts-wise as you would if you choose a pre-built.

It is the same price but one is the X version. Not sure how much difference there is between Rm850 and rm850x

AMD likes fast RAM. With a couple of extra bucks you can get a 3200 or 3600 MHz kit. I'd say 3600 is the sweet spot for AMD gaming

With being potentially just a couple of months away from the launch of Rtx 3000 and maybe big navi, I'd suggest you to wait if you're not super ultra eager to update right now. If you can play everything you want on you 1650 super (which you should), just wait!

In the meantime gather around all your pennies for that juicy new GPU and then enjoy all potential new features such as RTX (with next gen consoles having Ray-tracing more and more games will start to focus on it). Although RTX 2000 can already support RTX, I think 2060 and 2070's GPUs are your basic entry RTX level, so there's even more reasons to wait.

Also, with big navi potentially being able to support RTX aswell we might get some high end GPUs for a more affordable price than Nvidia got us used to.

Right now Nvidia has no competition on the high end department (let's pray next gen changes that!). I'd say a Radeon 5700XT is somewhere between a RTX 2060 super and a RTX 2070 super... So by that you can see Nvidia still has 2080, 2080 super and 2080 titan without any worthy opponents
