Hi everyone, Thanks for all the help and advice, I have bought all my components, now I am just waiting for the deliveries. Here is a breakdown of the components and prices: 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 3200Mhz - £86.99 1 x Gigabyte AMD B550M DS3H Micro-ATX Motherboard -...

****FOR NEW COMERS**** I have bought the AMD Ryzen 5700G. Also I just purchased the XFX Radeon RX 6600 8GB Speedster SWFT 210 Graphics for £200 pre-owned from CEX. The cheapest I could find it new was £250, so that is a £50 discount from RRP...

Thanks I will watch this video after work. For the video card I am trying to aim for as close to £150 as possible. Could stretch to £180 if I have to. For my budget I may have to consider the second hand market, Ebay (Buy it now listings) and CEX.

Yes, I bought the Ryzen 7600G specifically as a CPU, I will buy a dedicated video card. Cards I am considering based on price: New or used. AMD RX 6500 XT Nvidia 2060 Nvidia 16600Ti Nvidia 1660 Super.

Cheers I will review Tom's Hardware later today and review the used GPU prices Yeah because my budget for motherboard won't allow me to afford a PCIe 4.0 board. I don't think I'll be able to find one for less than £70? In the end I bought the 5700G on Ebay because it was unused and in the...

Thanks and finally On Ebay there is a seller selling the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G for £40 more. Is it worth paying the difference over AMD Ryzen 5600? Not a big fan of the hybrid idea. Presuming I bought a dedicated video card i.e. 6500 XT or equivalent. Would would you pay £40 extra for the AMD...

Hi, This is the build I have so far,I am unsure about the motherboard, open to suggestions for <£70 Thanks I am happy to swap out the RX6500 for the 2060 or 16600Ti if the price is similar. Which is the fastest in order and are there any reviews with all 3 on the chart? Also to throw a...

Hi, I should have said I am open to buying from the second hand market too to bring the prices down. The cheapest 6500XT I found brand new is £159.99, £150 pre-owned on Ebay, £130 pre-owned in CEX The cheapest 6600 Super I found for pre-owned on Ebay is £149, £160 pre-owned on CEX Given the...

Thanks everyone for your help thus far. I have decided against the 6500XT mostly because the reviews are poor value for money. If I do buy it, it has to be heavily discounted online. I don't want to spend more than £150 on a GPU. I am happy to look at the second-hand market. Are there any...

I've done a bit of research on the RX 6500XT and most reviews are poor for value for money. In the UK cheapest pre-owned is £150 and £215 brand new. I've read more positive reviews for RX5500 XT and the Nvidia 1660 super which is priced similarly but with better performance. Saying that...

Hi all, I have been away from the community for a few years, and I am completely lost. I am planning on replacing my current PC (see my system spec tab), it has been well over 13 years old, it is struggling to play YouTube videos and it is generally slow. I don't game much these days, but I...

Hi guys. This isn't really a hardware post...just want to pick your brains. I want to create a similar video to these guys on YouTube. Does anybody know what software they are using to create and record the quiz presentation? Thanks in advance and

The Athlon XP 3000+ is only 2.1Ghz and still whooped the Northwood at 3.0GHz!

Budget AMD Sempron 1.8GHz outperforming the "high end" Northwood 3.2C and Prescott P4 3.0E Hmm so a expensive high end CPU cant outperform a low end CPU with 50% the clock :) It takes a 3.2Ghz Prescott (P4E) to match a budget AMD Sempron 1.8Ghz by a 0.2 frames per second. hmm. You mean the...
