Why do we want 2x16GB memory instead of 4x8GB ? is there a better alternative to the Asus TUF x570 Pro WIFI since i dont need WIFI at all?

Right now was the worst time for my PC to die. Guess I’m not building my own PC because that’s the only way to not get TOTALLY scalped for a 3070

It's crazy. I wanted to get a Xbox series x after Xmas because I spent what I had on my kids gifts. And now they are all out of stock and scalpers are doubling the price is most cases so I said screw it I'm building a PC and now for 3 days I've been complaining to my wife how the GPU's are being scalped the same way. I've got $1000 and can't build half the computer I would be able to if it wasn't for all these greedy people marking prices up

Why are graphics cards not modular? Add some vram, replace the processor every few years (Like with a CPU Socket) Is there an actual reason to this or is it just calculated obsolescence?

lol im building something like this now. just a little off or less money.
Mark Geraghty19 days ago
The graphics card for the $1000 build (AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT) is a hell of a lot more expensive than Linus said. 300 dollar for him but it’s 855 for me. Is there a reason or was I looking at a scalper on Amazon?

David Schultz29 days ago
I'm glad to hear for 999.00 the 3080 ti is coming out and all the dummies will have to choke on their overpriced cards. It's people who pay those premiums that hike the prices up for all of us. There are auctions on ebay in lines with people still buying 600.00 dollar cards for 1300.00. Get a grip people. In a few months your investment is trash. You'll still be paying for the thing and a better card will be less then what you owe. Plus your gonna pay interest on that 1300.00. We'll say in the tone of about 700.00 if you make minimum payments. That's 2000.00 dollars for a 600.00 dollar card. I seriously don't blame the scalper completely. I put it on dummies that maxed out their credit cards for a few fps that they don't even need. I for one will wait it out and upgrade when it makes sense. There is no market for building a responsible PC today. As nice as it would be to 4k gaming; the majority of us are on 27-34 inch monitors. It really doesn't make sense to have 4k on that setup to me. Come on guys!!!

Albert EinsteinMonth ago
I decided to leap saving money and researching to build a budget gaming PC, instead of my HP stream laptop that has 20Gb of total space and the memory of a goldfish. I kept wondering why PC parts had nearly doubled in price until I realized the *pestilence* was a thing. I now have to wait until prices deflate, so I can buy the decency I should be able to already.

Linus will you please share some new operating system on the market.

I doubt it. He does have some Linux videos, but they mainly deal with the IT infrastructure of his company. If you want to see Linux, you're not in the right channel. Try watching Chris Titus Tech and Level1Linux.

I want to buy the AMD rysen 9, 3900x and a b550 tomahawk mobo with 16gb of ddr4 memory, then use my old gtx970 gpu and 2x ssd ( 1tb ) and have a good base computer while I am saving up some money for a good videocard, its mainly for vr ( oculus rift S ) currently got alot of stability issues due to having a very old mobo/cpu, but maybe I am going for the Asus TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) mobo ( wifi is actually quite usefull :P and more usb 3 ports )

i game i do research tooMonth ago
does anyone have any idea for a 300$ build with the minimum requirements of a 3 ghz+ quad core 8 thread cpu clock speed and 16 ram clocked at 3200 mhz on a motherboard that allows decent upgrades in the future and just a 250 gb+ cheap ass hard drive/ssd (i really dont care about boot up speeds) with a dedicated gpu (i got that done with a 1030 gt) i got the case covered as well as the psu so far if anyone knows such build please tell me about it, thank you. (note: i dont want a prebuilt one)

If you want a 4 core cpu and an actually good dedicated gpu(better than integrated graphics) in that price range u need to get some good deals in the second hand market

Pc noob here: Is it possible to game on 4k with the 2k machine? Or am i being to enthusiastic?
Aditya BhattacharyaMonth ago
@Dzevad Alic 3900x is a great cpu. I Hope you find a 3080 since they are the hard to find but hey patience is key u gotta wait for the good stuff
Dzevad AlicMonth ago
I was planning to up it a little bit anyway. Got a ryzen 9 3900x on its way. And I wantee to upgrade to 3080 anyway. But finding the 3080 somewhere in stock is a bitch
Aditya BhattacharyaMonth ago
If you take a cheaper cpu like a ryzen 5 3600x or a 3600 and spend a bit more on the graphics card by taking a rtx 3080 instead of a 3070 u could pretty much game on 4k 60fps

And this is why I bought my upgrades in April, when that sweet sweet tax return and stimulus money came in. That and I was stressing over the Cyberpunk 2077 specs - which were wrong. Now I have more computer than I need, which is really weird for me. I am usually 2 to 3 generations behind, but now my system would be considered merely inadequate! (grin)

Really glad I watched this. I thought everything seemed inflated atm. No stock and prices way above average. I'll sit on my laptop a little while longer. 720p gaming will have to suffice for now.... :/

WaterheadMonth ago
Just a word of warning if you want to buy through Micro Center; everything I looked at on their site as of right now (19th Dec.) is in store pick up only. So if you live in Florida like me and don't have a Micro Center in your state; you're screwed.
May GreeneMonth ago
$150-$250 on an GTX 1070 is a great value (even better if someone can get a Ti for that price) if that person isn’t trying to max out their game settings.
BROthereMonth ago
i cant even afford the game lite option lol
MrGenoHydraMonth ago
*slaps the top of his RX580 "This baby still has a few years of mileage in her" Jokes aside though. i'm browsing for a new card and with the taxes here the price discrepancy between the 3060ti and 3070 really isn't worth the 5~7% performance increase. 3060ti is around ~800USD while 3070 is 1070$ when converted (prices are normally this high because of import taxes and VAT so no surprise).
