We went to Micro Center and said “Give us your cheapest PC!”. They replied with the Acer Aspire TC-1750 and honestly it isn’t too bad out of the box. Of course, though, we had to fully load this system and put it to the test by adding an RTX 3050 and then playing some AAA titles!

While the CPU & GPU in toasty bros PC is better than your build. I still prefer your build because its standard connections. You can upgrade your PC easy, assuming your PSU is enough for a better GPU. You can easily drop in a rx 6700 xt for example or a ryzen 5700x3d CPU.

Again For Fortnite. The two setttings that you could change are in the installation settings for the game itself they are called pre download streamed assests and high resolution textures, also if you just did the drivers obviously play 3-4 before showing results.

This is a great way to get newbies into computers. My first system was a Dell in 2003. I didn't do much upgrading besides an extra stick of RAM. I got another Dell around 2008 or so mostly to get a relatively cheap Q6600 CPU. I did a bunch of upgrading to that one - GPU 8600, RAM, PSU, case mods to add 2 extra fans. Eventually replaced everything besides the CPU into another system. SLI 8800GTs. Last year I built my first system since that one. Went mini-ITX this time. I learned a lot from tinkering with those two Dell systems.

it's a good starter system with those upgrades, the only other upgrade(s) would be to add exhaust fan, punch holes in the bottom so that the gpu can breath a little more and a better cpu cooler, which if done right should add an extra $50 on top, but you gotta be careful as that acer cooler is mounted through the motherboard to the case itself.

the budget pc for just over $500 from a couple videos ago was a better all-around unit, i think. of course, had to build it out yourselves, but almost certainly better overall gaming performance than any 3050 6gb-equipped unit - and cost less too. definitely the way to go if you don't need the prebuilt.

[@Robemcla]

There are reasons why business pcs only have a single stick of ram. If your budget only lets you get exactly what you need and your apps run fine under a single stick of ram, a year or 2 latter as ram demands increase you can do a mid life cycle upgrade to boost the system by adding just another stick of ram to double it. If there are already 2 sticks of ram then on the mid cycle upgrade you have to rebuy all the ram instead of buy have of it and then you have a pile of e-waste dims that are too small to use. Rebuying all the ram just adds cost to your budget. It is more cost effective and can cause less ewaste.

[@ThrasherEscapes]

if that's US$ and you can return it, i definitely would. i'd want a faster gpu than the 3060ti and two sticks of ram, preferably 32gb. in that $1500+US price range, i'd be looking for a system with a ryzen 7700x/7800x3d or i5 13600k (13700k or similar is fine too, but might be overkill - i5 is still great for gaming) and a 4070/4070 super gpu, with 32gb of ddr5 5600/6000mhz ram, and hopefully a 2tb gen 4 nvme ssd for storage. definitely doable if you buy the parts yourself & you or someone you know can build it. on lenovo's site right now, for around 1500 you can get a 13700f & 4070 computer and it would most definitely be better than the one you have now - but i still think it's too expensive for what you get compared to building one yourself (or with a friend). whatever you decide to do, good luck! there are a lot of options out there & it can definitely be overwhelming.

3050 6gb is a "good card" in the same way that getting stabbed in the gut is preferable to getting shot in the head. when there aren't any other options, it might seem like it's good - but you're still getting a raw deal. nvidia could absolutely afford to make better cards for similar prices & use-cases but refuse to because they want to anchor their prices as high as possible. i know it's what they're supposed to do as a for-profit company, but i'd like to see the entry point for decent pc gaming as low as possible so more people could have fun with it.

I'll join you on the hill: RTX 3050 6GB is a good card for what it is. Shame Nvidia don't much care about the market it targets, they've got a whole stack of mobile GPUs that would be good in SFF/bus powered PCI-E card form but since they don't the 3050 6GB has its place and is a good replacement for the 1650.

[@Conumdrum]

Nvidia makes better GPU's than the competition. They cost more as well, so, you get what you paid for. Their not interested in fighting over the low end gaming market because A. It's not very profitable. B. They won't lower their standards to offer competitive pricing. If you want to save money, you get an AMD or Intel., if you want the best, you get the Nvidia that suits your needs.It's that simple and bashing Nvidia for it is unfounded.
