Building an entry-level sleeper

MBC72 · July 12, 2023

Budget (including currency): $694.20 CAD ($526.30 USD) haha funny number

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and just general goofing off—maybe schoolwork

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I used PCPartPicker to pick my parts, and I don't know with 100% certainty that they'd be reliable. I have a link: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/MBC72/saved/QdBJwP, and the case I'm using is submitted here—It's an old Velocity ATX case. I also have a Dell Optiplex 790 if that means anything useful.

I'd look at the RX 6600 8GB. Its a good pair with the 13100f for a capable budget gaming system. If you want to have a little fun, look at Intel Arc A750/A770 too and support the underdog.
