It's a three bedroom, two bathroom home. Me, my brother, and my mom was living here. She moved out to move back in with her ex husband and me and my brother decided to just stay here. His girlfriend was our third room mate but she and him had an argument so now its just me and him for now until we get another roommate or they patch things up.

As for looking for my own apartment since we are splitting rent $400 each there's no reason to look for another place to stay. I'd be paying the same or more in rent for a studio/1br.

She still owes me for august so this is what everyone would be paying if she was still here.

I had an Athlon XP 2400+ until 2008 when I was a kid, then a super awful AMD laptop in Uni.
760 was my GPU when I switched back to desktop in 2013, a year later I've replaced it with a 970 and last year with 1080.
Nowadays it's no big deal to afford good hardware, but I can appreciate even low power machines.

>>388722127
True. But still there are no big and very tech demanding games right now, at least for me. I blame weak console generation and boring AAA industry. For example, games I'm looking for in 2017: New Divinity, No Truce with the Furies, Pathologic remake. Right now playing Darkwood and Gigantic. All this stuff is very forgiving it terms of PC power, so why should I upgrade?
>>
>>388720770
My 680 has plays games like Titanfall, Doom & Quake Champions just fine. I might upgrade if I get a higher hz monitor, but it's not urgent. 680 is probably the best long term value I've gotten out of a GPU.

Short of a completely new build, what do I do with this? I'm thinking of just sticking a 1050TI in it and seeing how that goes, because just running off of the APU is disgusting. Random BSODs because AMD don't give a shit about drivers is the best.

I also intend on getting a monitor that isn't an 8 year old TV at some point too.

>>388722351
I had a 7950 in 2016. It ran pretty good to be honest. I got 30 fps on siege on high settings. I could run squad @ 25fps total war games were tough though. But mine died. I think dust+ total war Warhammer killed. The 980 I replaced it with is much better obviously.

I used my 560 Ti till this year. End of the year before last during Christmas Holiday, I bought a GTX 970 from MSI on Newegg but it was complete dogshit and had to RMA it and several replacement copies before I gave up on MSI.

destiny 2 is smooth as fuck on my i3 / 960

>>388722849
Right. Most people don't realize that the Jaguar/GCN consoles, even the upcoming XboneX, all use integrated second gen GCN graphics hardware that is pretty low end by current GPU standards. They don't even have dedicated memory.

Just about any recent dedicated GPU will be better than what the older PS4 and Xbone have. XboneX and PS4 Pro up the power a bit, but upcoming PC hardware including the Ryzen+Vega SOC chips will outperform them.

It's great, maybe a bit slow in the beginning. Such surreal and bleak atmosphere.

Also, check out last dev post. They basically uploaded game to Piratebay for people, who can't afford game right now. It's clever marketing of course, but still.

You could try installing Linux on it, AMD's official drivers are an absolute joke but you don't have to use them. The unofficial (unfortunately Linux-only) Mesa drivers are both way more stable and faster.

Its why AMD's prices are shot to hell right now, the mining performance of their stuff on Linux is way better than the gaming performance on Windows so the cards wind up priced against stuff that's a few tiers higher because that's how they're performing.

There's great C# stuff available on Linux, arguably the better stack to learn because its cross-platform with versions available for mobile.
There's a version of Visual Studio for Linux as well, but you'd be better odd learning to use a variety of editors.
If your school has you just learning Windows stuff you're not going to be very employable in the current market.

You should be able to get a 1050, or a 560, or an older used GPU and use it just for graphics, but if you're using a prebuilt you'll want to make sure your PSU can handle it and that the slot isn't obstructed.

4 years is a perfectly fine timeframe for upgrading though.
I always buy the -80 card from nvidia every 3 years because I want to run everything maxed and it hasn't failed me yet.
In fact, my old 580 went for almost 5 years before it became semi-obsolette, and only because it was the 1,5gb model.

R9 280X is an amazing card btw.

I was still up until last week.
Went from my 2011 GTX 560ti 1GB, to a GTX 1060 6GB.

While the improvement was significant, it still felt a bit underwhelming in the end. The good ol' 560ti still did just fine at 1080p & 60fps in a huge majority of all games.

>>388722050
Not him, but I'm an Europoor too, and 800€ rents with no water or electricity included, are not uncommon even for small three-room apartments. I'm living in a 69 square meter 3-room, and I pay 680€ a month, but that at least includes a heated car parking slot and weekly access to a sauna. And that's considered CHEAP in many cities.

You ausfags get so fucked in the ass with gpu prices it's pretty hard to buy anything over a 1060 with that budget. I think the best you can do is get 1060 6gb and a ryzen 1500x.

Don't take my word on it though, you should do try to ask someone with more knowledge.

I still play shit that ran completely fine on that. Endless space 2 - no problem, Rising storm vietnam - no problem.

>>388726289
Get 7600 or Ryzen 1600. Unlocked version if you plan on overclocking. Put that money towards a better GPU.

A GTX1060 is fine. You can go further and drop the SSD for a better GPU, but it won't be enough for a 1070 due to miners shitting up GPU prices. You'd be off like $70 I think.
>>
>>388728326
Might swap out i5 for a Ryzen once I look into them as >>388728307 had suggested.

Planning on upgrading to a 7600K Kaby Lake from a 2500K Sandy Bridge, I also have a 960. Should I bother paying these insane prices for a 1060, or wait for the new set of cards before upgrading?

Also, am I gonna see big performance increases going to a 7600K?
>>
>>388728454
That's pretty much what I'm thinking now too.

1600 is definitely better to buy than 1600X when you oc it, it's the same cpu afterall. SSD is also not the most important thing in the world and on a smaller budget it's better to use that cash for a better case.

>Should I bother paying these insane prices for a 1060
No
>wait for the new set of cards before upgrading?
Odds are you'd be waiting probably around 6 months til that happens and GPU prices might go back to normal in a couple months.

>big performance increases going to a 7600K?
Depends on the games, but I'd imagine you'd gain like 10-20 fps overall
>>
GTX 770, I think it's well over 4 years old. Still doing solid work. I feel like I'd like to upgrade, but it would be needlessly indulgent.
Next price cycle I'd say is the ticket.
>>
What's a good asking price for a 1070 at the current moment?
>>
>>388728702
Why a better case I thought the case was rather irrelevant?
>>
>>388729139
Well it's very subjective, but at least I like to invest in a decent case. Better cooling, easier to build, less sound etc. Even just 20$ more gives you better quality and more options.
>>
>>388721529
Now's a terrible time to either upgrade GPU or build a new rig altogether, at least for me, because a perfect shitstorm of Intel's new pricing and shitcoin mining and current gen not being that interesting over what I have. I'm glad I built this thing to last because it's as quiet as ever, no speck of dust inside the case anywhere and it runs literally 40C+ cooler than new CPUs at the same clocks (obv. not the same IPC) to name one bizarre thing.

Most importantly, I've only had to start to dialing back the resolution from high settings 1440p to 1080p in some very select games like a few months back so I'll wait for a better time.

i have a lenovo y500 with GT650M in SLI

its a pretty buff thing, beat witcher 3 on it

probably at the end of usefulness gamewise but it was a good buy, I actually took a loan to buy it lel. Loans on stuff like this are great IMO, it feels like you get things for free. I earn a decent wage so the amount I pay every month is like wow its fucking nothing. Gonna buy a motorcycle next and im taking a loan for that too

All the recent AAA that came out and upcoming ones, I could play pretty much any of them with OP pic related. The only two games that ran pretty bad were Dishonored 2 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided, they were kinda playable but the stuttering and FPS drops were too annoying so I just uninstalled them until I upgrade.

7870XT (2GB) here. Paid £180 for it in early 2013.
I mostly play indieshit and CSGO so it's fine. It gets 60fps in DaS3, and 60fps in Skyrim with 200 mods. The only thing I want to play but can't run is Dishonored 2, which is notoriously badly optimized and barely hits 60fps even on top-end cards.
>>
I still use my first graphics card since my 970 got destroyed in the mail.

It's a 560ti with like 2gb of vram. Other than the fact it gets hot as hell I am still quite pleasantly surprised at the performance for an 7 year old card

I bought a GTX670 on release week back when I had money. Thanks to student life I'm still running that thing, the only upgrades I've been able to do in the meantime were the CPU/mobo (Core 2 -> Haslel), a new HDD as an emergency replacement for an about-to-explode one and extra memory.

its all about location. I live in a "major" city.

i was paying 2500 a month for a 1br. no parking. 600 sq ft just 4 rooms (bed/bath/small kit/living room) I did have a private roof deck overlooking the water which was nice.

now i pay 2500 a month for a 1 bed with an office, laughably large kitchen, dining room, living room, and a private driveway to park and easy subway access. ... less than 5 miles from my other place. if you go 2 miles down the road from there you can get a 1 br for 1100.

950 GTX here. Couldn't upgrade last year because money already went towards a new CPU, RAM and motherboard. Gonna probably upgrade this Christmas.

It actually serves me well. Can run the vast majority of games on max settings in 1080p on at least 40 FPS, with a few exceptions like Deus Ex MD.

Nigga I don't imply gtx 760 is low power, heck the 2gb version is enough for 1080p gaming when paired with good cpu

It just shows that you don't really need expensive stuff to play games in pc, you just need to know what you want out of it
