What are your current PC specs??

AMD 5800x + Scythe Fuma 2
Some basic ASUS motherboard
2x 1TB m.2
2x 1.5TB SSD
32GB DDR4 RAM
Sapphire 7900XT
Seasonic Gold 850W PSU
beQuiet 500DX

My previous rig was an i7-4790k.
GPU started as a 7970 3Ghz, it died around 2019 and I bought my friend's 770 after he upgraded. Eventually got a 3060 Ti FE on launch. Then built this rig in 2021 and upgraded the GPU last year.

This rig will probably get me another 6 years. As enticing as the Microcenter bundles are, I'm not bottlenecked anywhere to need to upgrade.

 

Yeah I think there might be some specs of dust on the screen

 

Why do you need to know this?

 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

And yeah, I need to ugprade badly. I just don't keep up with PC news, so I have no idea what is a good deal or not. If anyone knows of a good value pre-built rig, let a brother know.

 

14700K
32 GB DDR5
RTX 4080 Super
2 GB M2 SSD

The irony is I use a M2 Mac mini instead half the time for casual browsing on the desktop at home. Windows 11 is annoying with all the ads and nags to subscribe to Microsoft services.

I end up using my phone most off all to browse here.

 

If it does what you want, no laughing unless you bought prebuilt from Facebook and paid triple.

 

M2 MacBook, 8gb ram 512SSD…kills all the PCs here.

RIP

 

Costco pre-builts are pretty good. They're a fair value for a current gen CPU and usually a 4060 GPU. They're a great value if you can find them on sale/clearance around $700.

 

Every time I go to costco I skim the PC section hoping to find an open box/display model on sale. No luck yet

 

Device name DESKTOP-XXXXXXX
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

 

For darknet reasons. For science. For a friend.

 

Yeah, I have a 'gaming' laptop for work that got at Costco two years ago.

MSI Raider GE76 12UE
Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H 2.70 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)
NVidia GeForce RTX 3060

It's good enough for the few games I play, none of which are hardware hogs. It does seem to bog down when I have tons of chrome tabs and Microsoft Office apps open, but that may just be BitLocker ****ing with everything.

Honestly, I wish I had gotten a MacBook Pro for work for battery life and weight.

I'm up for refresh in a year and will get a MacBook and get to keep this 'old' one.

 

I've got one of those Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPUs. Apparently, Intel and Microsoft have told me to "F**K OFF!" as Windows 11 will not be supporting this CPU (no idea why?). I'm sure I'm not alone. I am, however, pissed...because Windows 10 support is ending soon...meaning I have to upgrade my machine when I really don't want to or lose on security updates. At a minimum, it appears I have to swap out my motherboard/CPU. Or, just buy a new machine entirely.

Still kills yalls ram hungry peasant computers

thE m cHiP is diFfeREnT

 

Not to derail the thread, but I have resisted upgrading to W11. Is there any legit reason to upgrade to W11 before next year? Am I missing anything?

 

I only just use the computer to surf the webs so I have a 14900KS/48gb/4090 setup.

 

I was running an i7-6700k until last year when I built a new PC. I was going to keep using Windows 10 until support/updates ran out, but I decided to upgrade also because my video card for gaming was "starting" to show its age after 8 or so years, too. So I just decided to build a new one.
