Not sure what I should buy. GPUs are so expensive right now, it's insane, might stick with my 750ti until market cools down. For ddr5 ram, an Intel 14600k and a new motherboard will be at least 600-700 dollars. My current specs are q6gb ddr4 2666mhz, Intel 6600k, and a pretty good motherboard but I guess most people don't rate those.

You really need to update your CPU. I'm still running a 9700k and I feel it bad. I got a AMD 6700k for $300 though off ebay, great buy.

>>25732971 But that's the point, if I upgrade cpu I need to upgrade motherboard and then I need to upgrade ram to ddr5. So it's like 600 dollars

>>25732978 Well not new PC but upgraded. I don't know, it's 9 years old and sometimes it feels a bit not up to par. But it's not bad, it's still a good computer, but I use my computer 12 hours a day so it might be worth it.

Bernd Fri, 28 Mar 2025 20:52:17 GMT No. 25733000
>>25732991 "No, DDR4 RAM is not compatible with DDR5 slots. DDR4 and DDR5 use different physical keying (notches in different positions) and operate at different voltages and signaling protocols. This means you cannot insert a DDR4 module into a DDR5 slot or vice versa. If you're upgrading a system, ensure that your motherboard specifically supports DDR5 before purchasing DDR5 RAM. "

I'm trying to make my mind up about a video card too. I have a small case that I need a low-profile card to fit in, but the B570 I have been waiting on to be released never got released. Now I'm thinking of buying a regular case so I can buy a regular card. I may wait for the 9060 from AMD or if the B580 ever comes back down in price to normal, I might buy that. I really wanted to use the current case though. Too bad nobody seems to be actually making low-profile cards. There is only the 4060 as an option right now.

>>25733048 Cases aren't that cheap when you need a good Mini-ITX one. For some reason they are so much more expensive than regular cases and Micro-ATX. Some of the Micro-ATX are interchangeable with Mini-ITX, or so they say. I don't want to spend monies on a case. Then I have to buy at least one fan and a power supply as well.

Video games is garbage who cares. I bought an ASUS vivobook 14 years ago onl 300 bucks and it can play Fallout 4 on 720 so who cares the majority of video games since then suck ass anyways.

>>25733072 Yea if you're going for only micro-atx. maybe they are hard to make. when I built my pc I bought a fullsize case that even had a fan in the front. It's served me well. Why do you need micro-atx? it makes everything more expensive..

>might stick with my 750ti until market cools down Bad bet. You might wait for years. 750 is too shit for everything. I got a 960 in my PC and that one barely managed Baldurs Gate 3 with very long load times and some lags on lowest specs. Other things like Frostpunk 2 didn't even work at all because latest required drivers aren't supported anymore ... Just buy a used 3060ti or smh for 200-250€ as a temporary one and than wait for the market to cool down.
