Mhlindsey@lemmy.fmhy.mltoBuildapc@lemmy.world•Absolute beginner here, a little overwhelmed. Can someone take a look at this build and tell me how to improve it? Trying to keep it sub $1000

1 year agoHonestly that looks like a pretty solid build. Only real suggestion i have is try searching around for used parts in your area on craigslist, facebook marketplace and such. With a little luck and some negotiation skills, you could score some nicer parts for less money
Honestly, depending on your savings, a used GPU can still be quite a good deal. While it is true that a GPU used for mining or such could be on its last legs, you can do a lot to extend its life such as slightly undervolting and underclocking it. If it’s a difference of $50 or more, i think it’s worth it
