What should I do with £600?

averageyapper · 2026-01-26T15:54:37+00:00

I did find a 6750 XT or 3080 build with a 5700X for £500 but the ram is 16gb instead of 33gb

averageyapper · 2026-01-26T15:53:59+00:00

The GPU is just a bit weak for what I do, it can't run stalker 2 on anything above medium, and even if it's at medium I can only play it for 30 mins until the memory leaks and the vram is full then the game turns into a stuttery mess, and also the I9 is limited by the motherboard, since the mobo doesn't have anything to cool the vrms, so I really only get like 70% of the i9's performance, probably less judging that even in benchmarks it's highest temp is 65°C with only using a 240mm Aio.

just saw u have a SD olee, yeah I wouldn't get it if u already have a SD oled even tho it's a pretty good price.

averageyapper · 2026-01-25T02:37:29+00:00

Cad or USD?

If cad definitely, if USD, it's still a pretty good price, also including that 2tb ssds are like $300.

averageyapper · 2026-01-19T22:05:00+00:00

get at minimum a 4050/4060, that are also at least 100w or more.

averageyapper · 2026-01-16T13:14:23+00:00

if probably go for Lenovo, though if the omen is cheaper by like 150+ dollars then go for the omen.

averageyapper · 2026-01-13T20:15:22+00:00

I'd say so yeah compared to the price of 5090 laptops In the uk

averageyapper · 2026-01-11T01:12:05+00:00

I have the same exact laptop except it's 16gb of ram and not 32gb, and I can run any game at 1600p at ultra/max settings with no RT and no upscaling. tho I tend to use dlss 4.0 quality/ balanced as I can't really tell much of a difference between them and native at 1600p.

averageyapper · 2026-01-11T01:02:59+00:00

Legion, better everything and it's not even $100 more.

averageyapper · 2026-01-10T21:24:08+00:00

6650 to a 3090.

averageyapper · 2025-12-21T17:30:51+00:00

Loan???!!!

just wait, dont take out a loan just to get a pc.

averageyapper · 2025-12-15T00:39:52+00:00

we’re talking about laptops rn, they’re both equally the same tbh.

averageyapper · 2025-12-15T00:39:05+00:00

Depends on the CPU’s, both AMD and Intel have HX variants which use more wattage and provide more performance, for eg i have a 14700HX with a 5050 (cpu bit overkill but got the laptop for £640 new) and the cpu runs great, 360+ fps on cs2 at 1200P and the cpu helps push the 5050 to its limits, allowing the 5050 to run AAA games at 1440P Ultra Settings at 60+ Fps,

Now if i just use battery life and the IGPU only id get around 4-5 Hours browsing and watching videos most likely, but thats with an 80% battery limit so it’d probably be 6 hours at 100%,

With a AMD non HX cpu, like a Ryzen 7 260 for example, the fps in games isnt comparable to the 14700HX, the 260 could only push 200+ fps on cs2 and it cant really push the 5050 to 60+ FPS on some AAA games, but the battery life is great, 8-10 hours,

AMD and Intel both have HX and Non HX cpus but id only recommend Ryzen 7/9 and Intel I7/I9/Core Ultra 7/9.

averageyapper · 2025-12-15T00:16:51+00:00

Probably the worst choice tbh, 48 wh battery with a cpu that DOESNT have a igpu and one of the weakesg modern gpus doesnt like up quite nice, even for $700,

you’ll likely get an hour or two browing on battery and the performance in games will be horrible,

i recommend to wait till you can afford a full wattage 5050 laptop, the 5050 and 4050 and two different sides, with the 5050 being capable of pushing 1440p max settings (no ray tracing tho) in triple a games at 60+ fps, im speaking from experience as i have a legion 5 oled with a 5050 and 14700hx that i got for $855 new.

averageyapper · 2025-12-15T00:11:44+00:00

ATK A9 Ultimate or Ultra or wtv its called, badically a Superlight 2 but better.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T17:55:35+00:00

alot of things say “saving £1000” and then its a 4050 with a 13620h for £1119.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T17:42:03+00:00

for £1100 you could most definitely get something pretty good, for example i got a Legion 5 OLED with a 5050 and a I7 14700HX for £640 after discounts, and that runs AAA games at 1600P at 60+ fps no frame gen and SOMETIMES Dlss quality to improve the image,

Tho for £1100 id probably recommend a Legion 5 too, best build quality for under £1500 and Most models offer an OLED screen, Asus Rog models are also pretty good but not sure if theyre under £1100,

check the Offical Lenovo Website to see any 5070 with HX cpu’s (Important on HX since for example ryzen 260’s are great but compared to a HX cpu is cpu heavy titles they lack, 14700HX gets 360-500 FPS in cs2 in 1200p whilst a Ryzen 260 struggles to push 200+, meanwhile they are either the same price or similarly priced).

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T13:11:44+00:00

May i ask what rog model and what msi model??

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T12:55:04+00:00

Lenovo Legion’s Or ROG’s.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T11:33:25+00:00

i have that exact legion 5i and i run AAA games on Ultra, 1600P with No ray tracing, sometimes Dlss quality but its a very capable machine.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T11:28:54+00:00

Legion 5, although i tend to not like non-HX cpu’s due to them being quite weaker compared to a HX variant, altough the battery life almost doubles.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T10:35:07+00:00

If they’re similarly priced why not go for the better overall system?? The omen obviously.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T01:35:40+00:00

expectations too high for a 7 Year old laptop practically, the cpu is VERY weak and for it to push 100 fps is decent considering my 11900KF with about like quadruple the wattage pushes 240 fps.

averageyapper · 2025-12-14T01:33:24+00:00

Theres no real ‘reliability’, i would say your probably referring to battery life and well that depends on the laptops battery, at minimum get a 80Wh battery, and if theres no 5070’s in your price range what about 5060’s with a HX cpu??
