I'd like the mic, because it's the missing piece in my setup.

Thanks for the helpful checklist! :) I ran the scan, it says overall the PC is performing above expectations. My GPU seems to be doing below potential though at 72 %ile. I can't see any tweaks as such besides OCing. Maybe you can tell me if I'm missing something. Speccy looks good, I'm sure...

Haha yeah, I put the case beneath the table, there's a circular hole for them to go through from above. I tied the longer ones with cable ties, it looks a lot better now. God knows what's inside the case though.

Hi guys, my PC arrived Saturday! Now that I've figured out how to share photos, here are a few snaps from Doom 2016 (ultra, 1080p) and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (high, 1080p). Tbh it's performing better than I thought it would with a single stick of 8 GB RAM, but then I haven't played a AAA game...

Understood, so hopefully the 3060 will have low power requirements and I can just swap it in for the 1650 Super. Otherwise maybe the PSU on the Lenovo is upgradeable, as it seems to be the bottleneck as far as upgrading is concerned, and I can swap it out for a better one that goes with the...

I'm guessing it's about the same price, I'll get back to you with a quote when I have one. I'd rather take the Lenovo if it's better. The case for the Alienware Area 51 R2 is pretty big though as far as I can tell. So you're saying that my PC might be able to handle a 3060 even though the...

Sorry to trouble you guys again, but a family friend of mine says he can get me a great deal on this PC: 555-BCFD : Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 @ 5GHz + Bluetooth 490-BCNN : Dual NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX( TM) 960 with 2GB GDDR5 each (N VIDIA SLI(R) Enabled) 429-AAMV : Slot-Loading Dual...

I think I lost you a bit there, but from what I gathered, swapping out the motherboard and PSU to get a 3060 is a better idea than the 2060, right? Bec I won't be able to do the upgrade otherwise. I think that makes sense, I can defer the upgrade until I'm ready to do a complete overhaul like that.

Got it, so priority seems to be getting 16 GB RAM (should be able to do this soon), then upgrading to RTX 2060 eventually. Good to know that I can upgrade my SSD too. I need to play Doom 2016 first, but used Eternal as a benchmark :) Haven't been able to play AAA games since 2013 with studies...

Great, thanks. Going for this then. I'd like to add that the Lenovo site says it's upgradeable to 2060 and Ryzen 7 series. I think they're selling the upgraded version over here on Amazon.

I linked Amazon in the word "Lenovo" in my earlier post but I can see now how easy it is to miss that. It'd be great if you could take a look at it and let me know what you think, I'll list the key specs here anyway: NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super 4 GB Ryzen 5 3600 1x8 3200 MHz 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD...

I know this might be a bit of a bummer, but I just found a pre-made PC with better specs for cheaper by Lenovo. I think like @Kaamos_Llama mentioned, with the price spikes and all these might be a better option. Comes with Windows 10, peripherals and a month of Xbox Game Pass, just need a...

Great, I think we're more or less done with the build then. Just in case I get a good deal, what is the next-best motherboard you'd recommend for the Ryzen?

That retails for some $470 converted here, I'm not sure if I could fit much else in that build.

Makes sense, so what do you think about getting 3200 RAM (Rs. 6350) with the AMD combo? Since I don't really need a great motherboard as long as it has an extra PCI-e for the WiFi card. EDIT: I found an interesting deal combining the Corsair Carbide with a CV650 PSU for Rs. 7200, is this worth...
