Thanks for all the input! Got some smart advice to spend my money in a more efficient way

I see both of you going for DDR4 instead of DDR5. DDR 5 not worth the extra bucks?

The 1000 budget was a starting point, seeing as I probably won't be gaming enough to justify it for myself. But I do have the budget to go higher. 1500 is not a problem. And I'm a weird guy, when I go look for stuff I do want it to be good, actually don't want to compromise a thing and then I end up going overkill and thinking nahhh, just keep what I have still works right..... So I value the input and if that ends me with a great value for performance build I am more than happy. The pop air case only seems to have 2 usb A ports on top.

I had 32gb in my config. The fractal case was the cheapest I could find that ticks my requirements for front IO and having a slot for a dvd drive. I do some vhs to dvd once in a while and I could use an external drive but figured it was easier to have it internal.

Didn't notice it wasn't a nvme drive. Thanks for the heads up. I put the build in the alternate pc builder for my local price. Didn't know they had a dutch pcpp but figured using pcpp to put it on here was easier! Will check into the suggestions.

I'll give it another investigation. Not sure if I care about raytracing at all. Never had it so won't miss it. Helps to not play modern games. Last time I really got into gaming was 2020. All the lockdowns gave time for gaming. Played mostly skyrim, witcher 3, fallout 4, middle earth, bioshock.. Think I fired up a game 5 times in the last year and that was witcher 3. Good to know.

The 6650 can be had for +/- 50€ cheaper, the 6700 is 50€ more expensive. Seeing as the 3060 has 12gb ram and is in between prices I figured go for that. I did doubt about going amd. But do feel a slight bias going towards nvidia & intel. I'll probably be using this system for 8-10 years, don't need everything on the highest settings but do want something that is a smart way of spending money. Not a lot of stores stock the a770 and it's slightly more expensive. I did glance over intel gpu's but quickly skipped them. I'm a bit afraid of their "newness" and the fact that right now they don't perform as well on older titles.

Budget (including currency): 1500€ (started at 1000 but seeing what my current build costs, that limit is not set in stone) Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Most of the time simple browsing/mailing/watching youtube, some downloading, sometimes some video conversion. But planning on gaming more. Games that I will be playing: RDR2, cyberpunk 2077, skyrim, fallout, hogwarts legacy, witcher 3) Other details Right now I have an i5-760 with 8gb ram and a gtx 960. An upgrade is long overdue but since I barely have time to game I have been pushing buying a new computer forward since the last 2-3 years. But it's really starting to show it's age at this point and I'm planning to game some more in the future. I want to keep my 2 3.5"drives and my 2.5" SSD in my new system for storage and I also want to keep a dvd drive in it. I also want some decent front IO (at least 2 usb-A 3.0 ports and a usb C) so a motherboard with enough usb headers is required. And I think I found the perfect case for my wishes. Don't care for looks but this one seems to be the cheapest that ticks all my boxes. Right now I'm using a simple non gaming 13 year old monitor and it's also connected to my sony OLED. I do have plans to upgrade to a dual monitor setup, and still have my OLED connected This is what I came up with. Any huge flaws you see or better suggestions?

This... I need to know this! If this software is easily available and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to play the games I'd buy the gun instantly. Would love to play some of my favourite childhood games again. Still got them but no room for a second large enough CRT

It's 4 years old, no more warranty. Sure, I can always send it in for repair, but that's the easy way out

Maybe this will work for you? http://flockdraw.com/

Hey guys, I have a laptop (lenovo ideapad s510p) with multiple images on the screen overlapping at some points. It does this in windows, uefi bios, linux live disc, memtest, other bootable programs with or without the harddisk, so it's not a driver problem. At first a power reset would help to resolve the problem and the problem stayed away for a couple of days, but now it only helps for a couple of minutes, if it helps at all. Most of the time it doesn't anymore. And just right now it was not working, I rebooted (using a mouse, not touching the laptop so nothing could have wiggled on it's place or something and it was fine again) At one point, deleting the windows driver helped but when I rebooted windows, the lenovo logo was already quadruple again. At another point, a power reset didn't work, but reseating the ram did, it was good until I tried to run memtest. Memtest froze and after powering off and on again the screen was weird again, so I assumed ram might be the suspect, but changing ram didn't help and a second memtest try did work, and didn't give any error running for over an hour. I assumed the GPU is defective, but when hooking up an external monitor this one works just fine. So it can't be the gpu right? Flexing the screen, pushing everywhere or shaking the laptop doesn't change a thing. Not when it's good, and not when it's bad. I've even had it happen that the lenovo bootup logo was acting weird, quadrupe, or with other gpu glitches, but the normal windows boot was fine, and the other way around. Anything else I can try?
