Generally, go with the most amount of vram for the budget. Used 3060 12gb is a decent place to start. 3090s keep getting more expensive but…

Potentially, it certainly has more cores. What do the benchmarks say? One thing I'd note is that the PL2 for the 225H is 115W, whereas the…

Nice price. Might as well grab a 7700 for less though if you're just gaming.

"Genuine Intel CPU" an upgrade? Is this 2016 haha I jest, but the 228V is a pretty major downgrade, around half the speed in multicore per…

Definitely Switch 2. You can play Mario kart, then get your performance review call from your boss over GameChat.

I'd imagine you would be fine. Worst case, you can always apply a 220w power limit on the new card. Combined with an undervolt and mem oc…

Possibly. I use a 300W card with a quality 600W PSU. That's getting borderline though depending on the system.

You'll almost certainly be fine with a 750W, unless your CPU is particularly power hungry and your PSU is particularly crap.

Nice prices, also wondering if they're price errors. Grabbed the 16mm in Z mount and 13mm in X mount last night anyway, so we'll see.

I eagerly await the point at which $500 TVs surpass the human eye's ability to discern an upgrade. But that time is not now.

The image quality won't be comparable - this isn't a bottom of the barrel model, not to mention tech has moved on.
