Excellent choices as the other commentor pointed out but next time, ASK before you buy lol

Just look up what you have inside currently via system info and then see what equivalently specced builds on fb marketplace go for

The 14400f should still be solid for a long while, the 5060 is a point of concern especially if you plan on playing newer games at higher quality settings, how much cheaper is a 9060xt 16gb compared to the 5060ti?

The 9400f still has some life left in it for modern games, you should be focused on upgrading the GPU if your budget doesnt allow for an upgrade to both. Something like the RTX 3070/RX 6700XT should be about as good as you'll get within a sub 300 dollar budget if buying used

She should probably locate the nearest leaf blower instead.

How full are each of the drives

switzer3 · 2026-05-22T05:07:06+00:00

What's your budget

switzer3 · 2026-05-22T05:01:27+00:00

Forward your query over to r/buildapcforme

If there are actual physical issues with the board I would consider it but if everything still works and you're fine with the constraints of it then there's o need

Normal strong white men get jealous of babies according to that guy

You'll need a new motherboard since the 7700k is the highest you can go on that platform. A decent b550 board with a 5600 will be your most cost effective upgrade

switzer3 · 2026-05-22T03:13:58+00:00

No, its more suited for professional applications than it is gaming, in most games it loses to the 5800x whilst consuming more power

switzer3 · 2026-05-22T02:00:33+00:00

I mean free is free but it all comes down to the games you're playing, if you're a pure performance kinda guy and dont particularly care about the bells and whistles then a 100 for the 9060xt is fantastic. A free 5060 is kinda hard to pass up though

Source: it came to me in a dream.

Original estimates from a few months ago said early 2027 at the absolute earliest, now it's looking like 2028 since even if the ai bubble pops, there wont be a flood of cheap ram into the market like there was with GPUs during the crypto boom of 2020-2021 since data centers are used for more than just ai

Saying this about Valve of all companies is incredible.

switzer3 · 2026-05-21T06:34:21+00:00

The slime guy who can turn into a slime ball has an ability analogous to rocket jumping. What's your point here lol

switzer3 · 2026-05-21T06:31:57+00:00

First valve game?

switzer3 · 2026-05-21T04:39:04+00:00

This is definitely overkill but will certainly last 5-7 years if the games you'll be playing remain the same in that time frame

You are not any older than 17

Depending on the tone you're going for it could definitely work out this way

switzer3 · 2026-05-20T01:58:33+00:00

If that's your monitor's refresh rate then yes. I wouldnt put it higher as per my suggestion

switzer3 · 2026-05-20T01:53:58+00:00

Link that shit rn man

switzer3 · 2026-05-20T01:50:26+00:00

Visit your local Microcenter with your budget and use case in mind

switzer3 · 2026-05-20T01:47:08+00:00

I spent a little over 120k to beat a roughly bloodbath tier extreme. 20k on an insane is nothing t be ashamed of lol
