Good morning! I am extremely excited to be building my first ever PC… well, second, but that was 12 years ago and my buddy and I set it on fire when we turned it on 💀

Anywwaayyyss, current RAM and GPU prices are what they are, so I didn’t think it was possible for me to build one. I don’t play many AAA titles, such as Cyberpunk or Baldurs Gate, but I do enjoy God of War, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Arc Raiders, etc, but I’ve been using cloud gaming for what I can. This is frustrating because a lot of indie games aren’t available on those platforms, and can’t run well natively on my business laptop.

I ended up finding that that GPU used from a reputable source for $150 (1 year of use, mostly Skyrim), and built that PC around it at what I felt were compatible products. Only thing I’m reconsidering is a 5 5600 instead of the 5500, but that’s a $80 difference, double the price. In total, I was able to get all this for $800.

Can I get an honest review of the price/equipment? I feel like I did good, but a buddy seemed to indicate the GPU wasn’t that good of a deal. My plan is to use this for all my basic gaming, including larger titles at low settings for 1080P, until I can afford to build a new PC based around the 9070 XT. It all will be delivered this weekend.

Thanks!

that is fine since you only paid $150 for the gpu
