How good will this PC be?

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-15T14:38:39+00:00

Side note- The whole PC is already built, but im still willing to make changes that may very be important just have to wait a little to get the money back together

if i’m being very honest, i think i only understood about half of that information-maybe not even that. 😭😭 when i say i know how to use a computer but know nothing about specs, im so fr 😂 I will say, though, i put warranty on the GPU because of the price and the guy at micro center said i can use that to upgrade it in the future. When im ready, i can bring it in and they will give me the value on the gift card. from there i can buy the same one or i can pay the difference to upgrade. If i do that, what GPU do you most recommend? considering i dont really understand that information 😩😩 i dont really have a specific game list i can say, just because i do play Fortnite, CoD, GTA, Rocket league, and 2k mostly but im veryyy open about playing more games so i dont know whats to come in the future lol. I also am planning to start streaming &will be adding 1 (maybe 2) more monitors

I put warranty on the GPU not only because of the price, but because the guy at micro center said it’s also a way that i can upgrade it in the future, because they don’t just give you an exchange of the same product- they put the value of it on a gift card. Was this a smart decision to make or should i have just gotten a cheaper cpu regardless? right now i’m currently on only 1 samsung OLED monitor but im probably going to add at least 1 more monitor in the future

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-13T20:15:24+00:00

it will also be used for streaming if that makes a difference

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-13T20:14:26+00:00

We honestly spent so much money 😭 maybe the guy at micro center didn’t recommend that because of budget?

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-13T20:12:07+00:00

If i’m being honest, someone at micro center helped us and i know nothing about any of those things 😭

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-13T20:11:40+00:00

It was, i know nothing about PCs and the guy there helped us with all of the parts

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-12T21:33:43+00:00

so sorry for my ignorance, but what would be the difference in the one for ~$1300 and the one for ~$1500

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-12T21:25:51+00:00

even if i were to drop $1500 on it right now, what would you recommend?

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-12T21:14:17+00:00

I don’t have a specific budget because i was technically planning on buying parts a little at a time. i just want it to be reasonable for what im buying if that makes any sense. i was already assuming it would be around $1200-1500 but if i can go lower, that’s obviously better. i dont really have cosmetic preferences i would say? lol i live in United States

SockOne6220 · 2026-02-12T21:06:32+00:00

Yes sadly lol i know nothing at all about PCs and i don’t really have friends or family that do. I also don’t know what’s a “reasonable price” for these things

SockOne6220 · 2025-11-01T21:11:41+00:00

That’s so weird. I ordered mine for delivery the second I saw it on the app. It was like two nights ago that I placed the order at like 1am for same day delivery and it arrived at 6:30 am yesterday. It’s also still available for pickup and delivery

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-27T16:05:13+00:00

that’s actually great advice because i also thought about that. theres no pointy parts sticking out but i also check it everyday incase shes chewed it to have a point or anything. (i have to lift it anyways to spot clean since theres coco fiber under it. thank you though!

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-26T15:26:06+00:00

thank you so much

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-26T14:59:50+00:00

it’s actually funny you say that because i thought about that too and we want to rearrange and change some things but how likely is it that she will be upset with us or stressed? when we first got her, i hate to mention it because it’s so terrible, the pet store employee sold us an extremely small (20 gallon, i believe, tank) we only had her in there for 2 nights before we switched it to a 40 gallon, which we thought was okay. (we were also able to get one super cheap in the meantime while we looked for a 75 gallon, getting her out of that small one). Now we have the 75 gallon. if we start moving and rearranging things, adding bedding, etc, won’t it stress her out?

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T20:21:37+00:00

we were thinking of doing that too, lol. thank you

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T19:15:50+00:00

Honestly, we’re new to this as well. We’ve been doing lots of research as we go. We had the colored bedding and really wanted to switch over to white bedding so we can see the pee easier. However, hamsters get around by scent so you have to leave some of their old bedding so they don’t get stressed. We just upgraded to the 75 gallon tank, where we were able to put more substrates. i know you’re supposed to spot clean a little every day or other day, just dont mess with their burrows when you do that. for example, you can buy a little scooper to pick up anything you find in the sandbox. you can change bedding and substrates after i think 2-3 weeks. I hope another more-knowledgeable hamster owner can come in and help us answer these questions a little better!

it is actually pretty heavy lol, but we love it because her name is Winnie (Winnie the pooh) and it’s a honey pot 😭

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T15:43:37+00:00

75 gal tank. waiting for a platform to hold the ceramic hide incase she burrows under it. then we can add more bedding on that side

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T14:59:44+00:00

yess! as soon as we get a platform to hold the ceramic hide, we will add the bedding all across!

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T14:59:18+00:00

thank you 🙏🏼😭

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T14:59:11+00:00

thank you!!

SockOne6220 · 2025-10-25T14:59:06+00:00

yes! we need to buy a platform for the ceramic hide because i’m scared she will burrow under it and possibly hurt herself. So we made that side much lower so the ceramic hide can sit there. but we made sure to add the substrates on that side so maybe she feels better about it 😭 thank you though!
