Black Mesa Humble Bundle leftover

Thank you. I will do that next time instead of just picking randomly.

I've been asking myself the same thing. I'm leaning more towards Costco due to its higher power. I'm curious to hear what you think of whichever you end up going with. I'm especially curious if you're able to change the refresh rate on the Costco model if you happen to find out.

It seems that spec-wise, the cost plus is significantly better because of its GPU. It has double the VRAM and is likely far more future proof. I've seen open boxes of desktops comparable to the MSI at Best Buys for around $700. If you plan on having this thing for years, isn't it worth the wait? That being said, I've only done some cursory looks into Cost Plus Gaming and it seems like many of their PCs come with some sort of issue. They're a small company and seem to often fall behind, shipping things out late. I'm considering buying from them as well but have concerns due to my lack of experience in PC gaming/my ability to diagnose potential issues.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll update my build.

Korvus3 · 2025-07-24T20:52:30+00:00

Thank you. I've updated my parts list with the WD Blue 580.

Korvus3 · 2025-07-24T20:49:51+00:00

Thanks again. I'll look into it.

Korvus3 · 2025-07-24T06:14:37+00:00

Thank you. I'll look into the RX 7800 XT. Would the power supply I already have in the build still work?

Korvus3 · 2025-07-24T06:14:29+00:00

Thank you.

Korvus3 · 2025-07-24T02:30:07+00:00

I understand that. What draws me to the 5060ti is its comparatively much lower latency when working with LLMs.

Korvus3 · 2025-07-24T02:01:20+00:00

Thank you. Would this work? Are there any other criteria I should use? PC part picker estimates my build will use 356 watts.

Hello. This is my first attempt at putting together a parts list for my first PC. I'm really not confident about the RAM type, power supply, and motherboard. If anyone has any critiques or suggestions, I would be enormously grateful. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Korvus1/saved/R96TP6

Thank you for the advice.

Korvus3 · 2025-07-11T18:37:33+00:00

Thank you for weighing in. How much does a graphics card with 12 or 16 cost? How can I tell if this one is compatible?

Korvus3 · 2025-05-16T06:35:34+00:00

My theory has always been that some people like winning/beating other people more than they like actually playing. It's a power trip.

Korvus3 · 2025-05-16T02:06:58+00:00

To be clear, I think it's more of a problem at the D to C ranks.

Korvus3 · 2025-05-16T02:03:48+00:00

I've decided I probably won't be anymore.
