Balls deep into Lara Croft at the mo.
Run a passive cooled system and the old Palit GTX 750ti is showing its age.

Yeah if they are serious about gaming, why not. I spent around 2k, maybe a little more on mine, it's not amazing but it runs most things so smoothly. |
Corona isolation has turned me into a gamer. I planned to get a new computer anyway but always put it off because "I don't really need one". Well last night I sunk a grand on something that will most certainly do the job for me.
For the computer keenos, the notable parts are:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-9500F (3.0GHz) 9MB Cache
Motherboard: ASUS® H310M-A R2.0: Micro-ATX, DDR4, LGA1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs
Memory: 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics: 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER - HDMI, DP - GeForce GTX VR Ready!
SSD: 1TB PCS 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (520MB/R, 470MB/W)
This is just so I can play Ark Survival on max settings I'll probably try a few more things now too. Far Cry 5 or something.
Small edit for those who pick up on the cost: That price includes monitor, case, keyboard, speakers, PSU... everything. Totally new purchase for me.

Psychic man, you psychic.
Only reason I'll pick at it is the 1660 and the i5.
Whilst the board is largely OK, its not fantastic but will do anything you want.
The 1660 is turd, you won't max ARK. Ideally you should have gone for either a use 1070Ti or 2070 Super. All can be had for £250.
The processor is the F series, you could have grabbed an i5 8600K for that or even a used i7 6700K which would trounce that one.
You have 2 real bottlenecks there for ARK, but I guess what you mean by 'max' settings. I play at 3440x1440 on ARK and have everything up max and I still struggle to a degree with everything at super super duper.
I tend to run games on high, but I also don't tend to play casually its always competitive

And that is fair enough, I just prefer to build mine from the ground up, but your method saves time but can also add cost, like you say could have bought bits on Amazon etc etc |

Not 1660, it's 1660S

Not that I know a great deal about these things. There was probably a better option available even on the PC Building site I was using, and within my budget. It'll do for me though. Problem is I had to chuck a fair whack on the SSD and a ton of RAM as I'm going to use it for work too.
Anyway to compare, I'm currently on a laptop with a Radeon 530. The upgrade I'm soon to experience is surely phenomenal!
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1660S-Super-vs-AMD-Radeon--530/4056vsm375394
As for running games on 'max', all I really mean is "way better than currently." My intention is to put Ark up to max settings, then plop the resolution down a touch if I have to. Currently I'm on potato settings with 1260 x 980 resolution, so all upgrades are going to be an excellent change.

Now that I'm getting this complete machine delivered, I'll feel far more comfortable upgrading it part by part as needed. |

Nah thats fair man, basically I do not rather the 16xx series, even the 2070 super is a little too low for what I need as a minimum... hence the ...
