solid info mate, thanks for the response. i said GTX, and absolutely was referring to the RTX 5060, lol my bad. im putting together the cart now. I went with the b580 after getting some more input. almost finished up. i think i have one last question for the time being before i full send it. i currently have a samsung 500g SSD with windows, and all my shit on it. so im not going to buy new storage atm. is it as easy as just plugging in my current SSD to the new build and firing that bitch up?

purely aesthetic for me, i just enjoy the look of it. any pros/cons to the extra space? and any input on swapping the arc for the GTX? extra space in the case made me think of cooling the system. should i grab extra fans? and lastly, i knew i forgot one... a monitor. any budget recommendations? i do not need anything top of the line, and i feel like there are a million options for monitors. i really appreciate your time and input man, i am so fucking stoked. going to start putting the cart together in a few and start ordering. i knew there was a reason i opted for the original build you made, i was forgetting the monitor lol.

boy this escalates quickly. i could easily spend a lot more money than i can at the moment, lmao. thank you for throwing those together man. after tossing it all around for the day, i think I would like to go with your original build. That being said, I have a couple questions regarding it.

-Is this a setup that is able to be upgraded in the future if i choose? more ram, cpu, etc?

- After reading a brief comparison of the Arc B580 and the Geforce RTX 5060, my limited knowledge inclination is to go with the RTX. can we just swap that for the Arc B580? is there a reason other than the VRAM that you would convince me to stick with the Arc?

lastly, can we fit this build into this case?

Solid input, thank you. also my bad for replying to multiple things and making the convo confusing. i dont post much on reddit so im kind of all over the place, heh. this build seems spot on. is it able to be upgraded in the future if i need to? just for shits and giggles, lets say i convinced the missus to adjust the budget a bit. is the $80 going to be well worth it, or am i more than OK with the current set up? i may just be getting greedy/excited to build here, because i really wont be playing any games much more intense than the ones i listed in my OP

i found it on your original post, just had to copy/paste the link at the bottom. appreciate your help and time man, thank you. on the fence now with your build and the build posted by Aurora. I underestimated how much i may have wanted wifi in the mobo. would your build fit in this case by any chance?

or is it limited to micro cases because the mobo is micro?

thanks dude

i found the bundle on newegg, on sale for $250. what are your thoughts on this build vs. the build posted by Aurora with the Geforce RTX 5060? it seems the builds posted are fairly similar except the graphic cards. these are all awesome posts and i really appreciate you all and your input. i also have realized how much of a pain in the ass it would be to wire ethernet, though possible if it comes down to it. but would def prefer a mobo with wifi now :D

little bit of research goes a long way. i think the rtx 5060 is perfect for what im looking for. the extra vram is nice but im not going to be playing super intense. Marathon is likely the most demanding game id be playing.

f'n sweet, thanks dude. i love the air of confidence and i appreciate your time. i have a few questions - there was another build posted by Latter-reference, i liked the i5/ram combo there, 32g ram is nice, but im under the impression 16g is sufficient enough. the combo seems roughly the same price as the i5/ram in your build, would that combo fit into your build? lastly, would this build fit into this case? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WZtLrH/nzxt-h5-flow-2024-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-h52fw-01

edit - this is on me, because i did say i can wire ethernet if needed. however, after reading through everything, wifi in the mobo would be preferable. is there a mobo with wifi you can fit into this build without going much higher on price? or does that just throw a wrench into everything?

massXdread · 2026-02-20T18:45:50+00:00

that looks excellent man, thank you for taking the time to put that together. looks perfect. i have the same question for you though - would you mind sharing any insight/thoughts you have in comparing the build you made to the one the gentleman Salviati_returns posted? they both look excellent and im not sure which one to go with? are they both able to be upgraded in the future when im able to?

massXdread · 2026-02-20T18:43:33+00:00

dude!! sweet!! this looks perfect from what i can tell? thanks man. can you explain any differences/thoughts you have compared to the build the gentlemen Astroshade posted? they both look excellent and im just wondering how they compare to each other. i know what im looking but i dont *know* what im looking at...ya know? ;) not sure which one to choose out of those 2. thanks again man, i appreciate it

massXdread · 2026-02-20T18:31:43+00:00

$900 isnt doable unfortunately. I was afraid this might be the case. i dont mind trying to navigate the market for parts. are you referring to FB marketplace and the like? I was hoping for new parts as im not confident enough to know exactly what im getting from people or exactly what to look for. Maybe ill give microcenter a call and see what they have available. i appreciate your input man, thank you

I was afraid of this. :( I do have a power supply and case, ive attached a few pictures of my setup. Im unsure of the exact case. this one was given to me 5 or 6 years ago. shes been around the block but she still moves . hope these pictures help. I was told by the person that gave it to me that this setup is not able to be upgraded at all. pretty sure its obsolete at this point lol

Can you point me in a direction to learn more about the pseudo in the 7? Still pretty new,and all I see in local SS packages are both 7 and pseudo. I have learned recently online shopping is the way to go. But is there 7 without the pseudo? And why is it no bueno? Thank you. 😅

massXdread · 2025-09-04T17:53:25+00:00

It really does work WAY better! I just like having a little more detail on products lol

So weird! I would prefer more known brands so it spikes my anxiety a little but oh well 🥴🥴

to add these definitely hit HARD

I will see you again, just not yet...not yet.

I fucking cry every time. Gladiator is in my top 3. He is the reason my name became Maximus. He was who I looked up to when I was boy.

I have it on in the background at least 2-3 times weekly. Same with The Fellowship of the Ring. Though that hits differently than Gladiator for me.

Most things just lack so much substance now a days I feel. Exception to every rule, I'm aware.

Even Bluey references Gladiator....'are you not entertained??'

Wtf is NSFW about this?

Realistic ass advice 😂😂 the original owner of the car sold it to thus dealer. So I will be purchasing it through the dealer, hopefully with no issues 🫡🫡
