I picked an i3 because when I made this GPU prices were higher, but if they start dropping I’ll be able to spend more money on it
Yeah - well like I said, unless you exclusively want to use this rig for something like Blender rendering or something that's purely GPU (aka not games) then you really might consider downgrading the GPU and upgrading the CPU because it's going to be a bottleneck in most tasks.
Got it. I’m revising my list now and I’m going to try the same GPU since the price dropped, but I’ve changed my CPU to an Intel i5-12400
So I’ve upgraded to an i5 12400 and I now have a Gigabyte B660M motherboard, I revamped a whole bunch of other things as well and dropped price for an RTX 3050 and a new 550W power supply… I’m 2 dollars over with a different CPU cooler but I don’t think two bucks is gonna be a problem.
Sounds a lot more reasonable
