Spend hours looking for used cpus, gpus, and ram to make every penny count, open frame, diy it, use linux,...
Still expensive as fuck.

Just buy a PS5 and set it to boot linux. Best cost 2 performance ratio

>>110195235
Ever. It won't ever return and people need to accept that. Sure, it might drop like 10-15% from the peak prices and then be promoted as a great deal, but it's never going back to regular prices.

>>110195159
3200g
8gb ram
256gb ssd
No one needs more.
>>
>>110195288
You are a waste of oxygen sack of shit.
A used Ryzen 5 5500 is 3x as fast and costs the same.
>>
>>110195278
I keep dreaming about a world flooded in used gpus and ram from failed datacenters selling for pennies on the dollar.

yikes

kys, gamer scum

>>110195350
The problem with that is those selling the used GPUs & RAM understand that people want them. High demand for them means they can still charge a premium. Will it be cheaper than brand new? Yes, but it'll still be way more expensive than the original new price. You'll still be overpaying in the end.
>>
>>110195414
Nigga when was the last time your cpu broke down because you used it too much? I still have a pentium 133 from 1995 that works like the first day.
Is not like used car you fucking jackass.
>>
>>110195190
then pay up and stop complaining
>>
>>110195432
nta, but I had this happen to me. It was probably my fault though with the overclocking, which I don't do anymore. Learned my lesson the hard way.
>>

we all do… we all do…

>>110195288
had this build, did need more

>>110195350
Might even be unused if the data center was cancelled like so many others are, but either way, much of it would be data center GPUs and RAM
>>
I built a pc AND a new server right at the start of ramageddon
I got a little jewed on ram prices but nothing compared to now

Pray tell, why? What were/are you doing that requires more?
>>
>>110195508
I managed to offset the price of the new 48gb of ddr5 selling my 64gb of ddr4 on ebay. If you have used memory it sells for a lot so you are not totally fucked even now.

You can't use HBM in consumer hardware

>>110195674
Looks like a good low power build. Still looks expensive as fuck ngl.
It's been a while since I checked the prices, also which country?
>>110195870
We'll see about that.
>>
>>110195432
Most people overclock modern Ryzen CPUs, even if they don't know what overclocking is. That said, I doubt a bargin basement 5500 is gonna be subjected to that.
>>
>>110195893
I built this only six months ago for 2.7k:
Intel core 7 270k plus
32gb ram 6400 cl34
rtx 5070 ti
asus rog stix mini atx
corsair sf850 ps
arctic liquid freezer pro III 240
1Tb nvme
open case, linux mint

for about 2.7k, now is +3.2k
>>
>>110195870
You absolutely can, you just wouldn't. Because HBM is expensive.

Probably 5070ti hype.

If you're retarded you will buy those features

i dont pay up
you pay up. then i slurp up the product at discount prices, new

feels good to be a waitchad

That's just sloppy seconds. Sure hope you finally enjoy my old PS2.

btw, i just noticed

i buy NEW, i never buy used
i thought i was clear enough about this in my previous post
but it seems you consumergroids dont even have the reading comprehension of a 10th grader

and good. being retarded should be painful, and should disatvantage you in your chances of reproducing.
its a stand-in for natural selection

>>110196312
Hope you enjoy your NEW to you PS2.

>>110195159
I only play old games so i just got a mini pc with a little extra ram.
>>
>>110196296
Yeah I really regret playing multiplayer games with my friends while you waited until nobody played them anymore and you got it for cheaper on sale.
>>
>>110196370
your quadruple a slop runs just fine on my arc a770 i boughtered for 3 hundos

youre running your slopp on low settings because of the competitive edge dont even dare to try to lie to me

Rajesh, your a770 is the best in India

tf do i care about india
i bought it for the compyoot
my whole machine is purpose-built for my main project

theyre smart. best bang for the buck you could get in the past 2-3 years or so

what temu? pure american products.
ill never fucking buy a pre-built.

Last I checked nvidia was really ass for sway/wayland and linux in general. Also I would default to a mid sized Noctua heatsink for the cpu. Midsized because their largest heatsinks put too much strain on the mobo. Get a gpu where you can later replace its fans without having to remove the original heatsink. You can usually get creative with zipties if you want to mount nf-a12x25 or smaller fans on a gpu. Find a gpu that has vertical heatsink fins instead of horizontal fins. Ideally combine this with a case where you can block all airflow exits and only allow airflow to exit near the gpu, forcing it to maximally flow over the gpu and out the pci vent slots. Get a reliable ssd, modern ssds are fast enough, reliability is more important, same goes for most pc parts really. I would even prefer the "OC" version of a gpu, not for better gaming performance, but because its more likely to be better binned or from a statistically stronger part of the wafer or whatever. Sapphire Nitro+ would be my preference for an AMD gpu.
>>
>>110195159
>new pc
that here is your first mistake. what you want to do is build an old pc. get sh parts anon.
>>
>>110195190
>literally who components from pre built
>needs to make every penny count will have to buy literally who components individually
Usually its the other way around. Pre built have known manufacturers give you their weakest components to make money from you. In my local best buy all computers have well known manufacturers pushing suboptimal specs for premium price. Getting 'literally who' components with research is the smart way.
>>
>>110198962
Just use iGPU, GPUs are for rich tards now.

Share your current build and I will judge whether you are fomoBRained

I'm planning on upgrading my entire PC once zen 6 comes out and I am already petrified at the prices I am seeing. I am just a black friday coper now, knowing that there wont be any deals regardless
>>
>>110199119

If you're planning on getting Zen 6, know that microsoft bullied AMD to put an NPU on there instead of IGPU. I am suckle Su's at teat any day of the week, but I wouldn't want to be the beta testing those CPUs.

If we get a bubble pop around that time plus intel desperation reaching new peaks, we might be eating good on the used market.
>>
>>110199180
Didn't know that, but I don't need integrated graphics anyway -- will be running dual gpu's. I just want to move on from my 12400f so I don't mind being their guinea pig
>>
>>110199105

not sure why you post this.
I still have to retract it until is flush with the mb. You know, those details that one never finishes.

Linux isn't about being cheap it's about your hardware being yours to decide what it runs which is valuable in a day and age where compute has the price that it has but that still doesn't mean you feel that value in cost savings

It was always going to be expensive
