I’m looking at this deal for a prebuilt:

Lenovo LOQ 17IRR9 Tower PC — $749.99

  • Intel Core i5-14400F (10 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.7GHz)
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (8GB GDDR6)
  • RAM 16GB DDR5
  • 512GB SSD
  • PSU 500W

For some context, my PC has a 1070 in it. I’m a budget conscious gamer, usually playing at 1080p. With ram prices skyrocketing and steam betting on steam machines with low vram going forwards, I feel like it’s an okay deal for a guy who upgrades basically never.

It seems like a nice deal to me. Anyone want to talk me out of it?

    half the ram capacity you’d want

    You don’t need more than 16GB of RAM.

    The only games that list that much in their requirements 1: don’t actually need it and 2: are unoptimized slop you shouldn’t be buying anyways
