>UPGRADE & BUILD ADVICE Post build list or current specs including MONITOR: pcpartpicker.com/ Provide specific use cases (e.g. video editing, competitive gaming, streaming etc.) and your country.
>NEWS New CPU and GPU generations later this year
>RECOMMENDED FORM FACTOR ATX is the standard choice, alternatively ITX or even MATX
>RECOMMENDED CPUs HTPC(4K60)/Web Browsing: i3 10105 Budget Gaming: i3 12100/F > R5 5500 Gaming: R5 5600/X, i5 12400F+cooler Multicore: R9 5900X/5950X, i7 12700/F Best Gaming: R7 5800X3D k CPUs are not recommended
>RECOMMENDED PSUs Silver+ from Seasonic, Superflower, Corsair, EVGA (aim for 75% of total PC power) Take into account transient spikes when sizing your PSU to your GPU, especially with Nvidia cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
after full path tracing what will still be the barrier that would make games not fully realistic?

can someone recommend me a reasonably cheap 1050ti upgrade (there are no amd cards on my local market)
Matthew Cox
3060ti. not entirely overkill for your 1080p panel(im just guessing) and will also manage when you upgrade to 1440p/144hz (which you should do at the earliest opportunity)

I need a SATA SSD that can sustain 400MB/s sequential write speeds for the entire drive. Currently replacing a 4-drive RAID0 scratch disk and retiring the HDDs to backup duty.
Can the Crucial MX500 2TB write the full 2TB at advertised speeds or does it use cache and drop down after saturating that? What about Samsung's 860 Evo?

Hey anons, I'm the guy from Jordan that asked some questions a couple of threads ago about buying a pc. Managed to buy it and re-installed windows and its running well, though still didn't get into bios yet as I'm running the pc to a TV screen and not a monitor (resolution thing).
Arc might take the budget crown, for like a month, if it launches before nvidia/amd and is priced according to their performance in DX11 games as they said they would.
Nvidia isn't going to be losing anything, except customers who actually care about power consumption and heat. How in the fuck are they allowing themselves to pull this bullshit? 300w on a fucking 3070ti is ridiculous already.
AMD is going to be the better buy this next gen for performance/power, but they aren't exactly too far from nvidia in there. Less features that some consider gimmicky, but aren't.
I'm excited for Intel to finally join the market and hopefully they'll get their shit together in order to compete at the higher levels with Battlemage and whatever they name their C stuff in 3-4 years.
Yes, a 3070ti at 300w is already ridiculous is what I said. The idea of a 800w card, even if it's just a rumour so far, is fucking retarded. How in the fuck are they allowing themselves to pull this bullshit?
