Pretty solid for only $350
Seems solid for $350 as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters
Welcome to adulthood
You didn’t sacrifice anything. You just became a man/woman.
2060 is on par with ps5
So as long as you don’t expect away higher gfx or fps your good
And you can always upgrade the GPU down the track
Decent deal for the money
Can it run Crysis?
i’d get rid of that power supply as soon as you can… gigabyte has a reputation. luckily they aren’t too expensive, especially 650 watt
No sacrifice. It’s better because even now for 350 that’s insane deal. Also, you can save up and upgrade gpu down the line, which isn’t possible with a ps5
It’s definitely a downgrade in performance
However:
-computer
Which means:
-modding
-upgrades over time
-better library of games
But why? Your flair already has a better PC
For 350 is decent.
Nice job with the cable management! This build has a lot of potential.
Been considering selling my PS5 as well. Except it has a 4TB NVMe in it as well. Altogether it’s easily around the $1000 range. Deliberating how to sell it… part it or package. As much as I would want to try for a $1000 price tag, it wouldn’t be feasible. The NVMe has dropped in value by an easy $150 in recent months. A sad day. Not even the included Darkplates would make it reach that high dollar amount.
Definitely not selling the game library. A hard lesson learned from the PS1 days.

Good start, excellent trade.
I mean, you can’t pirate games on ps5 anyway.
While it’s a solid rig for $350, you’re going to get a far better gaming experience on a console.
Probably should’ve waited it out until you could get something that would compete with a PS5 if your biggest motivation is gaming.
But this is definitely far more functional generally if you’re motivated by doing other stuff also.
It is the way…
Right now the spec of that pc are below a PS5.
But if you are happy.
That B450m can be upgrade to a 5800x3d and you could pair it with a 4070 or a 7800xtx
Upgrade in literally every way
Wise decision, my PS5 has been collecting dust since I bought it :/
You get better deals on used parts than used systems.
It’s ok I guess? The PS5 is way better than this though.
Which elder god did you sacrifice your ps5 to?
Still more great games on a pc than all of a ps5 game library combined. Isn’t more than half just ps4 remasters anyway? Kek
Not bad at all, grab a 5700X3D, Thermalright cooler and 7700XT and you’ll have the PS5 handily beat in almost every scenario.
Wise desicion, 2060 has more value than closed system machine makes you beg every developer to unlock fps or turn off some settings and on and charge you 10$ under next gen update for that. Welcome to MASTER RACE. You can take your time and upgrade whatever you want. There’s plenty of games and library more than console from ps1 to ps5 n xbox original to series combined You can play.
I have a PS5 that I barely touch…will possibly get more play time once GTA 6 is released but yea…otherwise, it’s collecting dust cause everything I play, I already have or it’s coming to PC
no stellar blade for you
