RIP the GTX 1060 6GB. The 1650 is now in first place, so we went digging through the rest of the Steam Hardware Survey to see if any other major changes have come about in the last two years.

  1. 80% of gamers from china and out side the USA and they all use xeons to game which are 6+ cores hyperthreading with slow 2.8ghz core speeds so that makese sense
    here in america is the only place gamers dont use xeons cause gamers in america think you need an i7 or i9 to game with a 4080 or 3090

  2. funny, i've been using a 1650 for 2 years now, didnt expect to see it here. i wouldn't specifically recommend it either but for the fairly low budget that i had back then, i'm still using it today for new games like elden ring, and if you don't mind having graphics set to low it can run almost everything

  3. I thought mine was pretty average for today…2-ish years old now, I tried to make it cheap as I could of course but I didn't want it "struggling" to keep up.
    ASRock B550M/ac – 10g PNY 3080 – 3700X – 4×8 Ballistix 3600 cl 16 – RM1000X – CM 240 AIO – Neo Air case – 8 Sickleflow fans – LG 32GN600 – 1TB Firecuda Nvme – 1TB PNY sata ssd.

    Pretty good jump from a 2008-9 Dual Xeon, 48 g, 1GB ATI Radeon HD MacPro I got for free. I converted it to Windows only. (my daughter is still using it).
    Started with W7 on a separate drive using Mac's "bootcamp"…which gives you dual boot capability…While 7 was open, upgraded to W10 which got rid of "bootcamp" and now it just boots in Windows…formatted the other 3 drives…McWindows machine.

  6. My old system was still great feeling with a i7 4770k and a 1060 ssc 16gb ram.

    Glad I got to save up for my system now tho I have a i7 12700k 32 gb ram and just bought yesterday a rx 7900xtx. Upgraded from a rx 5700xt as the card itself was having some issues. Should've read more that XFX isn't a very good model. This time got a gigabyte card and it's running amazingly for 1440p 144hz

  7. this is basically my rig, except i rock a 1660 instead of a 1650 and a slightly older amd cpu. i have never had any major problems with games running poorly, even on high-ish settings (with the exception of doom eternal, which had a 100% chance of BLUE SCREENING my pc). i am looking to upgrade soon to a 3060 or something like that, but until then, this is an excellent build! sadly i paid a little too much for it because i built it at the beginning of 2021.

  8. Hope you keep this series going, sounds like good New Gaming PC build guide. I'm rocking a i7-4790, GTX 1060, 16gb Ram, 430 watt power supply and a 15 year old case, but Windows 11 might force a new build in a few years.

  9. To anyone on a budget who wants a good mouse AND keyboard: The HcMan Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is worth a look, seriously. It has replica blue switches (not hot-swappable) and a very robust build quality. It hasn't got a numpad or RGB, and it ain't the prettiest think on the market, is extremely loud, but damn it's worth the money.

    Been using this thing for 3 years now, and have spilled an entire ass cup of coffee on the thing and it still works after a day of being a lil' buggy. Cost me £20 to get, which must be like 26 USD or something. Give it a look, fr.

  10. Would like to know, if i have a case from 2016 (corsair spec -03), will there be compatibility problem with modern motherboards? I never see someone discussing this topic. I my old pc's case exists, why would i need to buy new one when building a new pc.

  11. Back in 2020 I paid 400$ For a single fan 1650, then later mid 2022 i paid 400$ for an RTX 3060, just goes to show you how much prices of GPUS have fluctuated and how crazy it actually was to be a PC Shopper during pandemic

  12. A step back? I was born in the early 90s and I cant tell the difference between a game from 2011 or 2023, some older games still look really amazing to me, I think for me its more about the ambience and story than the actual visuals going on in the game.
