  1. That was really helpful! I found a really good deal (210 USD for a Palit 3060ti) so I think I'll go for that and spend that 70 dollar "stretch" of my budget in a good CPU.
  2. Hello! I'm looking for a GPU upgrade since my current graphics card is in need of retirement. I'm gonna be using this build for productivity (heavy 1080p video editing and graphic design all in Adobe Suite), gaming and streaming. In terms of gaming I'll be mostly playing co-op survival games (Minecraft, The Forest, Valheim, Terraria), competitive MOBA games, and a little bit of open world and soulslike games. I'd like to be able to run those at 1080p60 in medium/high settings. I'm looking for used GPUs so I'll be listing the average prices for some cards I've found in Facebook Marketplace, all in US dollars: GTX 1070 ~$135 GTX 1080 ~$190-$250 GTX 1660 ~$145-$160 RTX 2060 ~$180-$195 RTX 2070 ~$225 RTX 3060 ~$225-250 RTX 3060ti ~$290-320 Budget: 200 USD Country: Argentina I can stretch my budget by 50-80 bucks only if there's a considerable difference and it's really worth it. My current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8YYsrD
  3. Really though to tell whether it's gonna work or not. I'd try to find out the PSU model either by looking for it in the prebuilt system's specifications or by removing one of your panels to check the PSU's branding on the side like @podkallsaid.
  4. Double 16gb ram kit? I want to know why! Anyways, I'm stuck with a shitty Thermaltake PSU too, it's sad that whenever I think of upgrades I have to add in the cost of a new PSU. When I'm looking for a new PSU I often use the OuterVision Power Supply Calculator. I input my system's parts and use the "Recommended PSU Wattage" to look for power supplies from the PSU tier list that fit into those wattage and certification recommended values.

  6. Overkill CPU for your video editing preferences. Ryzen 7 3700X it's a better choice. Mobo it's not good, I don't think you'll benefit of the PCI-e 4.0 ports, would certainly go for B450. I'd go for 32gb of RAM.
  7. @rares495Thanks for the info and suggestions! I'm sorry I didn't get any notifications for this post
  8. RAM Suggestions: Use dual-channel memory on the second build. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2fdxFT/geil-super-luce-rgb-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-gls416gb3200c16adc https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8t97YJ/team-t-force-vulcan-tuf-gaming-allian-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-tltyd416g3200hc16cdc01 PSU suggestions: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8PJtt6/evga-supernova-g1-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-120-gp-0650-x1 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2HbwrH/corsair-rmx-2018-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020178-na
  9. I'd suggest for both of the build: Higher frecuency and lower latency ram sticks (above 3000Mhz), SSDs with better value (NVME presence is a thing to look for in a SSD disk). Crucial MX500 drives are quite good. And last but not least, I wouldn't suggest going for those PSUs, they're not really good and also their headroom is way too low.
  10. Buying Windows I see... As your first and most important field to cover is aesthetics. Those low latency and high frecuency rams are on point. The only thing that calls out my attention is the GPU difference between the two builds, is there a specific reason for that? Overall I don't have much up-to-date knowledge about the most valuable PC parts, but I assume those deals are pretty okay considering the aesthetic choice. Maybe not buying Windows and using that extra cash for some improvement could be a slightly more efficient use of the money tho.
  11. Is there any particular reason to go for a 1080 Founders edition?
  12. As far as I know, the deals here are awful. The market price for a Thermaltake Smart 650w PSU is around U$D90
  13. In a shithole called Argentina. My budget is $100 which is around $7500 argentinean pesos. Is there any brand or model lines you'd suggest? So I figure if they are available here
  14. The LG one has a better panel type. I'd stick with that
