I don't know much about pc's (That's why I need help)

But :

I know I need an internal SSD. I currently have 44Gb free of 476GB. It's pretty bad.

But then, IDK WHERE TO BUY THESE!!!

Any ssd internals of 1tb are now in the hundreds of dollars. (Not an option...)

I need more space for games and content creation

HELP ME PLS! (If you know any ssd internal that are cheaper but works)

Or should I just wait??

EDIT : I know I can clean up BUT large recordings take more storage than I can ever clean. That's why I need 1tb.

If you could choose one, which would you pick and why?

Budget is $3000 USD.

I'm trying to figure out a good set up that doesn't use Windows as the operating system, plus want to avoid paying for subscriptions with Nvidia. Want to go for Linux. I just am wanting to remain anominous and not having to deal with the forced updates of Windows plus be free of their bloatware. I know this is VERY fussy for me, but I saved up for several years for my budget.

This budget is for EVERYTHING, including the PC. So I'll want to know what else to get for a webcam and microphone.

I'm aiming to be Reaction Vtuber first, then eventually go into gaming and card games.

I'll answer any questions asked if meeded.

I have a pro b550m-vc motherboard, a ryzen 5 5600x, 16gbs of ddr4 and getting myself self a rtx 5060ti 16gb and I’m unsure on which monitor I should get

Hi All

Looking for some advice/help. My wife currently uses a mac for mainly business work, and wants to move back to a PC, as she hates the UI and interface on the mac (as well as the clumsiness of the shortcuts).

We bought a mac as someone told us it was the best for office work, and it looks nice (Mrs requirement :D)

What we are after is a PC, perhaps an all in one? That wouldnt monopolise her desk etc. I suppose worst case a mini PC or slimline one would suffice, but she would ideally like the aesthetics of a mac in a PC.

She uses the system mainly for emails, word, adobe pdf, excel and web content using canva and short social media video creation.

Any advice on the specs youd recommend for the above, would be greatfully received? Sadly if left to me she would be getting a RTX5090 with Ryzen 7 9800 X3D, 64gb of ram and a couple of M.2 drives :D I suspect that would be overkill though and doesnt meet the "unobtrusive" requirement!

My other thought was to find a way to mimic windows OS on the Mac? but i dont think thats possible anymore from what i tried? (yes i know, if it was me i would be linux, but she is familiar with windows and knows how to use that OS).

I have 32 gb of ddr4 but only a 1660, and an i7 7700K. Should i downgrade the ram to get some money for like a new monitor or something, i feel like i dont use/need 32 gb of ram and would benefit from getting some money. (It would be a downgrade to 16 gb instead (2 x 8 gb)) Thanks for any answers

Should i aim to upgrade my RAM, monitor (downgrade resolution) or desk first?

Current set up is: GTX 4070, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 32gb DDR4 3200 mhz,

Monitor is MAG 274AURFW, 4k native 160hz refresh rate. I used to have a MSI G274QRFW 1440p 160hz refresh rate but when i RMA'd it because it stopped working, they replaced it with my current 4k, gaming on 4k with my current set up has caused me to lose a lot of FPS.

I noticed my desk is also too high up, about 4-4.5 inches above my elbow resting spot which is giving my wrist cramps after long sessions.

If i do go for a monitor i'd probably downgrade to a 1440p oled 240hz

Hey guys i know nothing about pc’s just want 1 so im able to Play eafc 27 modded etc Any Recommendations?

I got an Ebay refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad P15s Gen 2 FHD i7-1165G7 2.80GHz 32GB 1TB Quadro T500 and I when I was on Valorant I was getting over 120 fps but wanted to get rid of windows bloatware. I searched some videos and found christitus on a TikTok and did it and my CPU usage was a lot less but when i hopped on Valorant the next day my fps didn't go over 60.
