Hi everyone, I've found a kitten at my apartment complex. The shelter said they aren't taking in animals that are over the age of 4 months so I'm completely at a loss. I would keep it but I have 2 cats and live in a studio. I literally physically do not have the space for another animal and my lease only allows two pets regardless.

Does anyone know a shelter currently accepting new animals? This kitten is absurdly sweet and affectionate. She'd make someone such a loving pet. Alternately is anyone willing to take her in themselves? She's still outside because I literally physically can't keep her in my apartment but I could catch her again easily.

Hi everyone. I've narrowed my choices down to two options;

I can get a new refurbished PC with the following hardward for 1k, with a 250 dollar trade in discount if I sell them my old PC. So final price would be 750 dollars.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT (8 Cores / 16 Threads, up to 4.8 GHz)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M K

Memory: 32Gb DDR4-3200 Samsung (16Gb x 2)

Video adapter: 8Gb GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (MSI)

Storage: SSD 2Tb NVMe WD Blue Wi-Fi + Bluetooth

Case OKINOS AQUA 3 + PSU 750w (Corsair RM750x)

Installed Windows 11 Pro

Or I could upgrade my current PC for 160 dollars by installing either 8GB or 16GB of DDR4 ram in addition to what I already have, as well as installing a 1TB SSD card.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F CPU @2.90Ghz

Motherboard: ASRock B460M Pro4S/ac

Memory: 8Gb DDR4-2667 Ballistix

Video Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB

Storage: 466GB

Installed Windows 10

I know that the new pc is a good deal based on feedback I've been given here, especially given the trade in value I've been offered for my current PC. I know I could probably get more if I sold my PC privately but I really don't know if I have the energy to do that.

I'm asking for this feedback because when I got serious about buying the new PC I actually started feeling sick. I realized I'm actually really attached to my old PC. Its been with me through a lot of really horrible life events and its been the source of almost all the joy in my life when I was in the worst place I've ever been. None of this is a good reason to keep it. So I'm asking you the community, if all I want to is to play games at 1080p, what is my better option? Is it time to bite the bullet and upgrade because sooner rather then later there is absolutely no way my PC can keep up? Or should I hold off on the final upgrade and just fix up what I already have?

No other information is available on the advertisement. Its a used refurbished PC being sold by a local computer shop that has good reviews.

Hi, I've done some research and my pre-built while not fantastic is still holding up fine for what I want with one exception. My 8GB ram is bottlenecking me. How can I tell if my PC can be upgraded or not? I know some pre-builts can and others can't. If I could get to 16GB Ram my PC would probably last me another year or two at least and thats a lot more affordable then getting an entirely new PC.

For reference my Graphics Card is the GTX 1660 Ti. I know that isn't great but for what I want it is serving me fine, its just that a lot of more recent games I would like to play really need 16Gb ram to run.

EDIT: My current ram is DDR4 I was able to confirm that.

EDIT: I'd also like to upgrade my storage capacity if possible, currently only have 466GB. 1TB would be a relief given costs rn probably wouldn't want to go higher then that. How would I check to see if I can upgrade or add to what I currently have?

I want to be able to run games that came out in the last 2 years at 1080. I don't need to be on max settings although I certainly wouldn't mind being on max settings. 60fps would be nice but I don't need 60fps, I don't play competitive multiplayer games I am mostly a single player gamer. My current PC unfortunately just absolutely CANNOT keep up anymore. So I'm trying to figure out what my rough budget needs to be so I can set money aside over the next few months.
