Nate Dogg Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Did not see this thread yet so *POOF* I am looking for a fairly decent set up for my child. I was able to find i7-9700 with an RTX 2060 (or AMD equivalents) for around $1,000 all day long until recently. Anyone seen anything like that in any of the ads yet?

Nate Dogg Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks! Unfortunately only one of them lists the graphics card, and that is a pretty important part for gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame you don't, though, since the graphics card is more expensive than the processor in most gaming computers. I think my graphics card was 3 to 4 times more than my processor when I built my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riven3d Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 ya its because not all the systems have that info in the title and its not something we are going to go look for, but you could always check out http://www.blackfridaycharts.com and see if it has what your looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgfathergoose Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'm not looking for a gaming desktop. I need a desktop to replace my ancient 2005 (upgraded as much as I can). I don't game, but I do a lot of surfing, with lots of open browser tabs. I also listen to music, and watch some videos on the system. The 4 GB in my old one just can't handle WIN 10 and new programs. I don't need anything super fantabulous, just something that I will be assured will still be viable in 10 years. Maybe by then I'll be ready to give up a desktop and use just a laptop. But right now, a laptop won't fit on my desk, and I don't have room to have it on the side and connect to my 27" monitor. I was looking at Best Buy at the HP they had, but my brother wondered about the 256GB SSD being large enough, and only 8GB of RAM. Granted, I can expand the RAM, which I would probably do, because I can see in the foreseeable future that even 8 GB won't be enough. I don't want to spend a fortune, and most of what I've seen are gaming systems. I don't do that anymore. So, who's got the best desktop for a fuddy duddy like me?
