Hi, I've built a PC using Nebula and an existing OzBargain deal.

Nervous to pull the trigger and keen for general advice as to whether this will be a suitable rig for my young kids that are getting into gaming (son wants to play Flight Sim).

Different forums suggest getting a 4070, but i'm hoping to keep the rig to less than $1,600.

    GPUs always depend on the screen resolution you game at …

    4060 will be fine for 1080p displays …

    4070 will only be useful for high frame rate 1080p or 1440p displays …

      Thanks for the reply, appreciate it

      And 4080 good for 4k?

      • 7ekn00 on 24/03/2024 - 21:38

        Really want a 4080S or 4090!

        But a 4080 will work for 4k gaming with a few detail settings reduced ;)

    I'd look at a PSU upgrade, a budget 550W PSU wouldn't be my first pick for a $1600 machine.

    For young kids, they're not really going to notice the difference much and you have DLSS3 which will boost the frame rate. Unless you're running at 4K, what you have looks fine. My only question would be what MSFS2024 brings and whether you plan on going for that.

      great call, i'll look into upgrading the PSU.

    Just an FYI, that 1TB drive will fill up pretty quickly! You do have 2 M.2 slots on your mobo so you should be able to chuck another one in if need be.

    Waiting for a price drop? Nvidia is now a $2 trillion company. No point HODL'ing or overthinking this. If you can afford a 4070 now, and it's fit for purpose, just buy.

      Yeah, all these AI startups and corporations moving into AI will probably start another chip shortage. And electricity shortage. At least the bitcoin thing made Nvidia prepare ahead of time for the increased demand.

    Big fan of HP?

    Skip the 4060. It's gimped. 4070 minimum.

    I'd recommend you wait for an OZB deal.

      Cheers. I locked in a deal with Nebula PC which included the 4070 and a couple of other minor tweaks suggested by the great community here.

    do they build the PC for you or just send you the parts? thanks
