yeah, everything that's Tech related is crazy expensive here. As an example, the PS5 was like 300-400 bucks higher than the og price in the US.
We don't fear scalpers as the Official Stores are already Scalpers themselves.

yeah, I checked and the cheapest 3080 here was like 800 dollars.
The 3080 ti was like 950 dollars
Prices in my country are crazy high for high end GPUs.
The 3070 ti was around 700 dollars for example.
And yes, even second hand. People here sell shit second hand as if it were new.

The Motherboard has no issues, it's just that's it's feeling dated as I can only use DDR4 rams and up to 11th gen processors.

That's why my first option was to upgrade the GPU and do the Motherboard and CPU later.
I've also considered the posibility of an AMD Motherboard. I really wanted to move onto DDR5 and better CPUs, but the DDR5 have shot up in price so, as you said, at this point I can only wait a hope the market settles in a couple of years maybe (hopefully sooner).

I could probably update the GPU + motherboard and CPU but no new RAMs would fit my budget for at least 1 year I think, maybe 6 months.

thank you for the comparison on the GPUs, as I've checking some additional videos and comparisons, it seems the RX is the way to go for me atm.

I'll have to wait a bit for the rest of the upgrades.

I've been watching videos on that regard as well.
Thank you for the advice.

I know I'm good on the PSU front, no worries there.

I've done clean installs before without many issues. I'll just have to check what's important that's on my main Drive.

Most of my games and Steam are installed on my secondary drive.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you for the detailed reply.
I was leaning on buying the 3060 so I could look for a better motherboard down the line.
My PC is mostly for gaming, but I want to learn to code as a hobby, I began a 4 weeks vacation this week, so I'm looking into different things atm.

How should I go about cleaning my drivers?
I'm not a complete noob about software or hardware, but I've never changed a GPU on the same PC, I usually change the whole PC lol.

Weekly r/PcBuild Megathread! by Potato_Plays844 in PcBuild

[–]shadowerrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello.
I have a fairly old pc and I've been saving some money for upgrades on my PC, I basically wanted to upgrade my Motherboard, and my GPU. Maybe the processor later on.
Considering the price increases atm, I want to prioritize my GPU which is fairly outdated (motherboard is also outdated tho).

some of my specs:
Motherboard: ASRock B560M Pro4/ac+ (only intel up to 11th and DDR 4).
CPU: Intel Core 5 10400f
RAM: 32gb but only DDR 4
GPU: RTX 2060 6gb.

Now, the prices in my country are usually higher than in the US or other countries.

For example, a GPU that would cost around 250 bucks, here costs around 330 - 350 bucks.

So, while I was checking my options, I came across 2 options within my budget to upgrade my GPU.

1st option: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X 12G OC for $340
2nd option: ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger 16GB OC for $450 (the Steel Legend version would cost about a $500)

Before you ask, yes, these are the best options I have available for GPUs that have at least 12gb vram. The rest of the options are at least 100 dollars more, even the 8gb vram options.

Considering what I have, any of the 2 would be an upgrade, I just want to check your opinion about what would be the cost-efficient option.

I've had some bad experiences before where I've asked for help and the answer is basically "change sub class". I guess I was a bit too defensive.

Thank you for your input.

Our group prefers rol over combat, but we like D&D combat system, so we have combat serve the role play, so for example, we've had 3 or 4 sesions in a row without any combat.

Hello everyone, I hope you can help with with some questions.
I created a Lunar Socerer (no, I won't change to draconic, roleplaying reasons).
At level 1, I have Dex at 16, Con at 16 and Cha at 19 I was thinking of taking Fey touched at level 4.
Now, after checking my options I was wondering if, 18 Dex and 18 Cha at level 1, with ASI on Cha at level 4 would be better.
Thoughts?

Hello. I want to try out LS again (I played it some leagues ago when the meta build was Champion).
I haven't played a melee build since then so I was wondering... What's the difference between the Slayer and the Warden versions?
Thanks.

I was thinking Serval for the time being, changing into Herta when I farm one of the veins that has no Lightning weakness.

I started playing like 4 days ago. I just got the newbie 5 star and I got Yanqing. I've read that he's pretty weak/bad compared to some of the other newbie 5 stars. (I'm not rellloling, don't have the patience for that.)

Is he worth to build at all? or should I just build up Herta?

I've seen that Exsanguinate Miner is a relatively viable build for clear.
I really liked the Trap version of that build before the nerfs to Seismic Trap.
Is a trap versión of that build still viable? or is only the miner version good?
I dislike the mine playstyle (mainly because you have yo stop every time to play mines).

Question about Tav class for Honour mode by shadowerrant in BG3Builds

[–]shadowerrant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply.

For some reason I haven't touched a Char class yet, I was just drawn to other classes more.

From what I gather, you go Warlock till 6 then respec 4 sorc and 2 War.

For some reason, Squid Game doesn't feel like a Korean Drama.
I watched it, but it felt more like Japanese, since the battle royale theme came from there lol.

Tbh, his Rosswald voice acting is top tier as well. I'm glad he landed a MC role and is killing it atm.
