1. Thanks for the recommendation I will get rid of the LL fans and Norton.

2. I have a 70hz AOC monitor and a much older dell monitor as my second one.

3. I will be playing games like GTA, Valorant, Forza Horizon 5 and a few others. (I have gamepass to I play quite a few games that are on there). I also play Minecraft sometimes.

Thanks for responding 🙂

Also I might do some editing but nothing much, not high level editing or anything like that.

1080p

thanks for all the help

Just be aware, with the 3060ti there will be a lot of new games that you won't be able to play without reducing settings as there's not enough VRAM

Personally I would avoid NVidia at anything under a 4070 / 3080 as they're underspecced for modern games

Okay, I was also wondering if it is worth going for ddr5 of just sticking with ddr4 for now?

You can't fit it within budget to get something worthwhile

 

[mark981]

Alright thanks

 

[mark981]

I was also thinking, is there a lot of difference between the 3060 ti and 4060 ti, would it be worth going for the 4060 ti?

 

[mark981]

Alright thanks!

 

[SpyderTracks]

4060ti is no better than the 3060ti, it's garbage and ludicrously expensive. Absolutely not worth it in any way. It's been widely labelled as dead on arrival and the worst GPU ever.

 

[SpyderTracks]

So, would the 6750XT then be a reasonable choice given it's 12GB VRAM without being vastly over-powered for 1080p 70Hz?

It's overpowered but definitely a better fit.

Ok thanks
