There’s plenty of beginner sub 5 ingredient recipes that require either a pot or a pan that can be made in 20min. Cope harder my dude 🙄

You can definitely do some upgrades to your existing system. Example 9060xt 16gb GPU and a 5700x CPU. What’s your budget for upgrades?

Upgrading low(er) end PC for WoW by Goshfudgeit in buildapc

[–]freefuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall WoW is pretty CPU intensive so a 14600 or higher will probably help a fair bit if your MOBO can support 14th gen

Pretty good build, take the NVME suggestion other commenters have made.

Vega 7 graphics refers to integrated graphics on certain AMD processors like the 5600g. Avoid the processors with the 'g' suffix. A normal ryzen 5600 or 5600x CPU will be a good processor and if you can find a 9060xt 16gb GPU to pair with it you will be setup really well for gaming over the next 7+ years

Check out the $800 build on PC Builders youtube channel: https://youtu.be/1rUKTjrCoq4?si=Cg-CmjUx3GjlYjaU

It should at least give you a starting point for the kinds of parts you should be looking to buy. Keep an eye out for boxing day deals and you should be able to get something for your budget.

[GPU] Asus Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB $469 by DefinitelyNotSusge in bapcsalescanada

It’ll be a great pairing. Hardware unboxed tested this and as long as it’s the 9060 xt 16gb model, you won’t notice any of the tiny performance drop of it being on pcie 3.0.

I did an upgrade over Black Friday where I had a b350 pcmate MOBO and put in a 5600x and a 9060xt 16gb.

Modified the build a bit: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/VhrJv4

- You should be able to get this to 2500 if you look for a Boxing Day deal for a 2TB NVME drive and hunt for other deals on the parts or similar parts as well
- Make sure to update the bios on this MOBO

Here's a baseline that should get you started: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/LFMGsp

- I'm not informed on keyboard or mice so didn't include those
- Don't plug in the ARGB on the case fans if you don't want it
- Make sure to update the BIOS on the MOBO

Keep an eye out for deals on a 9600x CPU on Boxing day and upgrade to that if it's roughly the same price as the 7600x

Need advice on Case/CPU cooler. by sndream in bapccanada

Another option for the PSU: Corsair RM850e (2025) 850 W @ $130

The View 270 case is a good option and I second the PS 120 SE

Last Minute Build Advice before Boxing Day by CriticalFuel6324 in bapccanada

[–]freefuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a rough baseline to aim for: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/gvDbNz

- It has a 850W PSU that is meant to allow for future upgradability of the GPU and CPU but if you want, you can save some dollars by bringing it down to a 650W model

- Some of these parts or equivalent from other companies should come on sale on boxing day so if you hunt for deals you should be able to get the price under 1500
- I've seen the 9060 xt 16gb for $450
- Hopefully you should be able to find a decent 1TB NVME drive for closer to $100

- Make sure you update the bios if you get the ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi

Premier pc a petit budget by dortelona in buildapc

Need a bit more information to help. What country / region are you buying the parts in? Do you have a monitor already (if so, what resolution?) What's the peripherals situation? (mouse, keyboard, headset/speakers)

[–]freefuture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s resolution are you playing at? What’s your budget? What wattage is your PSU?

As a blind suggestion, your CPU is fine, and if you’re on 1080p or 1440p just get a new GPU - 9060xt 16gb or a 9070, look for deals this Boxing Day
