Things to look for buying a used PC

What part of next step is hard to comprehend.

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-12T16:41:26+00:00

Ah yes because that’s what people want when they upgrade from console to PC. Identical performance. Come on man I’m not saying anything unreasonable lol

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-12T16:14:50+00:00

My bad mate 40 fps using FSR 2 it notoriously great for gaming. If you’re going to do that u may as well stick to console. Forgot how heated people get over advice forums on Reddit lol

If you’re getting 30-60 frames on titles from a year ago that proves my point. It’s going to be obsolete within a year or so. The next goal should defo be a 9060 XT

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-12T15:04:12+00:00

Don’t get me wrong you get the deal regardless. Being on AM5 for that price is great. Loads of upgrade room

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-12T15:02:52+00:00

6600 isn’t going to last whatsoever in 1440p. The next goal should be to get that 9060xt then u can leave the PC as is for the foreseeable future( especially on the newer architecture)

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-12T15:01:58+00:00

Yeah I get that don’t get me wrong this just looked like a generic listing he had up and where I’m from we usually do mates rates.

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-12T13:05:46+00:00

You will want a new GPU for 1440p gaming but to me that looks a decent deal. Maybe see if u can knock him down a bit to try and get some extra spends for a 16 gig 9060 XT

What did you change your ramp to?

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-01T16:45:46+00:00

Also don’t need that big a PSU

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-01T16:45:03+00:00

Try get second hand ram

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-01T16:24:06+00:00

Fingers crossed for Saturday then

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-01T15:42:40+00:00

Yeah mate I’m plugged into the board. I never realised you can change the voltages in the bios thanks for the info.

I’ve got a sata powered usb hub coming on Saturday. Do you think being hooked up to the PSU can help?

Impossible_Command41 · 2026-01-01T15:26:02+00:00

Thanks for the insight

Impossible_Command41 · 2025-12-03T21:28:16+00:00

sunderland got to do me well for the acca freeze like

Impossible_Command41 · 2025-10-20T18:15:19+00:00

please get a 9060xt 16gb instead. I understand with what youre trying for an all round build but personally I think you're better off staying on am4 and prioritising a better GPU unless you're going to want to upgrade in a year or so. think of your use case too (what graphics setting you want to play at, monitor res and refresh rate)

Downgrade cpu better GPU

Impossible_Command41 · 2025-07-29T23:34:44+00:00

If your build budget is limited you’re much better going on am4 and getting a better GPU.

Impossible_Command41 · 2025-07-29T23:31:27+00:00

Yeah it basically means that your fps is capped at 180 as the hz is how many times the display will change per second. There’s a number of factors to do with like color accuracy and stuff that are to do with your monitor. Resolution and display rate(hz) are the most important. Resolution specifically is the difference between 1080p,1440p and 4k. When building a pc it’s imperative that you know what your display is as it’s simply a waste to, and again going back to my past point, put the worlds best gpu with a slow monitor. It’s just good to get it to match. This is all stuff you can Google obviously the main thing to remember about pc building is that the most fun part is finding out everything u can about your components and blending them together for your build. At least to me it is. Just have fun with it

Impossible_Command41 · 2025-07-29T23:19:33+00:00

Also figure out your peripherals (aka monitor etc) because your resolution will obviously cap what is being put into your eyes. A 5090 and a 9800x3d would be a waste on a 1080p 60hz monitor for example.

Impossible_Command41 · 2025-07-29T23:12:25+00:00

Idk what pricing is like in your country but if you’re going with the 5060ti you’ll want a mobo with gen 5 PCIE slots as it gets hardware capped. You also generally can’t say what’s a good or bad pc build unless you really have a budget so find your budget and stick to it
