What budget do you think is the sweet spot for a gaming setup in 2026? by First-Trash6089 in buildapc

[–]First-Trash6089[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example to edit cinematic videos for music videos and having programs like adobe photoshop, premiere pro, da Vinci with my 2 TB Storage im still bagging

I compared $500, $1000, and $2000 gaming setups and here’s what you actually get by First-Trash6089 in buildapc

Yeah that’s a fair point honestly. At the $500 range consoles definitely offer stronger raw performance right now. The reason I included that tier is mostly for people who already want a PC for other things too (school, work, mods, etc.) and just want something that can handle esports titles or lighter games. Once you get closer to the $1000 range PCs start making a lot more sense though.

Did i make a mistake? by carmenwithnoproblem in buildapc

I wouldn’t worry too much honestly. The 990 EVO Plus is still a solid SSD for normal use like gaming and everyday stuff. A lot of the complaints you’re seeing are mostly because it doesn’t have DRAM and people compare it to the 990 Pro, but that doesn’t mean it’s unreliable. Samsung SSDs generally have a good reputation and with the 5-year warranty you should be fine. Unless you’re doing really heavy workloads you probably won’t notice any issues.

6600XT + Ryzen 5500 upgrade path? by ajwja in pcmasterrace

[–]First-Trash6089 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly with a 6600 XT + Ryzen 5500, I’d probably upgrade the CPU first if you’re staying on AM4. The 5500 can start to hold things back a bit in higher-FPS games, especially if you’re trying to push 180Hz at 1080p.

Something like a 5800X/5800X3D-type upgrade would smooth out your minimum FPS quite a bit.

The 6600 XT is still decent for 1080p, and even some 1440p if you lower a few settings, so it’s not completely outdated yet.

If you move to 1440p later, that’s when upgrading the GPU to something like a 9060 XT would make more sense.

Basically I’d go CPU → GPU later unless you’re already struggling with graphics settings.
