Technology News master thread

[yelped]

For the purposes I wrote upthread is that considered maxing out?

Lol, you could build something for $350 that would be overkill for your use case.

TBH for your use case would probably be better to get something OEM as you cant beat their pricing at the low end, as long as you pay attention to have well rounded specs. You can purchase Dell credits and combine with a good sale, plus coupon, plus Cashback portal.

What can I build for 350 that will be overkill? Even a cheap GPU like the gtx 1650 is 150ish leaving only 200 for case and RAM and CPU and cooler

Also should this conversation be moved to a more appropriate thread? Since we are having a long conversation about PC specs and building which is a digression from actual technology news which is what this thread is for. If so I am not sure how to transfer it to a different thread.

You can't move posts to another thread... (Only mods can)...

You can just continue the convo in a more appropriate thread, and post here where that is (w/ the link)...

So should I move to a different one or continue here?

One of these seem fine.

The general consensus among the enthusiasts (I'm not one, but I read MaximumPC and CustomPC, and they are) is that you shouldn't be building a $500 computer - you should buy one from an OEM. And your needs do not require more than that. ("So we put together this $500 system because we were bored, and it was fun, but it basically is just as good as a $400 OEM + the ability to upgrade it a bit.") If you want dedicated graphics for some reason you have not as of yet made clear to us, that would be one thing. Particularly easy to get a Ryzen pre-built, 5000 or newer with a G at the end, and I expect that its graphics grunt should last you the life of the system.

Enthusiast or not, you know your stuff!

To me this is Chinese.

I wrote upthread one of it's purposes is to play beamng.drive which requires a dedicated graphics card, for example I tried the game on a 12th gen i5 xps desktop from dell with 24 gig ddr5 RAM and just the integrated graphics, just playable on a 1080p monitor at lowest graphics settings. Added an rtx 3080 got 144 hz refresh rate at 1440p at ultra graphics settings.

Also how exactly do I continue on a different thread?

Somehow missed that. You're right, you'll need at least an integrated 780M (or a genuine dedicated card). However, if an integrated i5 was barely capable of 1080p low settings, the 5600G should be actually capable of 1080p (at low settings).
Still, you're not spending the money for bedieved. As I said, pretty sure money is best spent on OEM.

You can get this, for example, add any of the graphic upgrades (5600XT or 1660 Super both work) and then do the RAM yourself.

If you do decide to go the DIY way, post in one of the other threads above and we can talk parts.

You can quote the post you're discussing, and/or write; continuing from the "Technology News Thread" ... Yada yada yada...

I tried quoting one using the quote button, then changing the subject to the subject I want to switch to but for some reason it comes up in this thread still.

[Shmuel K]

Should I just copy and paste the message link into the thread?

No No. When you quote a post, it will automatically be for the thread in which it was posted. If you change the subject line, that won't help you, it will simply change the subject for your post, but will still stay in that thread which it was quoted from.

In order to quote a thread to another thread, you gotta do that "manually".
As follows: quote the post you want to quote, then copy it to your clipboard. Then go to the thread you want to quote it in, paste it there, and you're all set!

Got it?
