There's no added benefit to having more than 16GB of RAM when it comes to gaming. Nearly all of even the most intensive games won't use more than 10. As for the power supply, read reviews if you're curious about it. It's generally a good idea to have more than twice the power you need. |

Yes there is: RGB. Everyone knows that RGB lighting makes a PC run faster. ...Though, 32GB is a bit more justified on my system due to large Photoshop projects. |

Sure it can, there's a difference between speed (and I don't mean just clock speeds) vs memory. Memory is literally what it is, memory. Storing information to be used later. Unless you're doing some highly demanding work like super high quality photo editing or video editing, then you never really need 32gb of RAM cause you'll never end up using anywhere close to the limit, so it'll just be sitting there for no reason. That's why jumps from 4gb --> 8gb --> 16gb are more rewarding, because in those cases you'd be running close to memory limit with daily usage, so the upgrades would give you more needed room. Jumping from 16gb --> 32gb is mostly pointless currently cause the average person will barely need that much memory in the first place. If memory was the deciding factor, then why do people recommend running 2 lower ram sticks instead of just 1 larger one? (i.e., 2 x 4gb vs 1 x 8gb). Because of dual channelling which increases the relative speeds giving a faster experience. Speeds on the other hand allow the CPu to get data faster, which does increase performance. Even in some games in 1080p you'll notice a large increase in FPS just from having faster memory So I dunno why the average person/gamer would spend the extra and buy 32gb. Maybe because either they think bigger = better or maybe they got it on a deal that let it be cheaper who knows. In the future, yes 32gb will eventually become the norm, but rn 16gb is plenty for most people as for the PSU, I'm guessing it wasn't clear so let me help out also 1000W allows to operate in better efficiency ranges PSU's generally are more efficient when they operate anywhere from 50% - 80% (of its max power output), and having a higher psu gives you more leeway in that regard. That doesn't mean you're wasting electricity, cause PSU's don't work that way. THey don't push power out, the computer parts just draw it out when they need it. Most people don't go for higher ones mainly because of cost I assume. SadMadoka said: Kayle_x_Morgana said: it is generally a good idea to have twice that power? who said that?

| It's a Samsung Odyssey laptop. It suits me for what I want to use, my only complaint is because of the low Ram nightmare, had a hard time back when I needed to use android studio. Since I tend to play old games it doesn't disappoint me in this part as well. I do intend to buy a desktop sometime in the future though. |

Not the most impressive, but I'm satisfied I can now play the games from the late 2000's to early 2010's at a decent framerate without sacrificing too much on graphical fidelity, because I still remember playing Assassin's Creed for the first time with the 8400 GS (512 MB) in 2009. Once I've enough budget again, I'll try to build a 2nd-gen mid-range Ryzen system now you can find the R5 2600 at a great bargain these days. |

| my brother and i use this cheap and old desktop computer that has AMD A8 7650K APU, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 and my brother can only play esports games with it like CSGO and DOTA2 (low settings and 720p resolution) |
| Since I edit quite a lot and also play games daily this is my setup: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: RTX 2060 RAM: 16 gb DDR4 Storage: 500gb SSD + 1tb HDD Pretty sure this should last me for quite a few years since I don't really always need to play on Ultra when it comes to new games [and I mostly play older games to begin with lol]. |

| Thread merged with newer duplicate thread. As for me I just recently got a new laptop to finally be able to play any game I want decently enough as well as to not have any more issues with wasting time waiting for computer to finish something. Computer I had before was already rather old and already low end by the time I bought it, so it's a big upgrade. Although so far I have just been replaying old games that I couldn't run properly before, so I'm not fully utilizing it yet. CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 RAM: 16263 Mb Storage: 1tb SSD (and I plan to also add 1tb HDD for files that don't require fast access, such as anime, etc.). Monitor is 1920x1080 pixels with 144Hz refresh rate. |
| @zbk: It seems that I need to overclock a bit more... |
