Not long ago Best Buy created a pay wall. Now GPU's are behind it as well. $200 buys you a chance.
A few months ago #BestBuy created their 'Total Tech' program to 'help' everyone be able to get #PS5 consoles and have preferred tech assistance. Now the same pay wall includes #NVidia founder's Edition GPUs. And they are the ONLY widespread retailer that carries them. Could you be any shadier? Very recently I have actually praised Best Buy for how they have been doing business, especially when stores like Fry's Electronics are failing. Now, I have to rethink all of that. Maybe it's a good thing the Crypto Currency market is waning and we may be getting a lot of well priced used options.

Actually, to be honest, #windows11 isn't bad. I haven't had any crashes or particularly strange behavior, and I actually kind of like the notification sounds. What else did I think, Well, you have to watch, duh.

#NZXT makes a slew of great products. They have also made a few that didn't work out the way they like. Their #H500 and H510 Cases are amazing, the Kraken M22 is not. Still, I thought I'd take another look at the one I got from Jeremy's PC (NZXT #BLD series Gaming PC, by the way). This thing may have bigger issues than I can tackle.

This notebook was in the Box of stuff I got from my Sister's neighbor. There were several older laptops and tablets that may or may not be working, but all need some cleanup. This #Macbook Pro is a few years old, but it wouldn't load the operating system because of a pending failure on the HDD. May be its a simple swap...............

I take a short #excursion to visit my Sister, her husband, and their #pug, Whiskey. It's a short video, but it was a short stay, so, anyway. Hope you enjoy a quick break in the action. Don't worry, I'm also editing a #PC video.

I take one for the team and put an #ASUS #GTX1650Super in the #HP Prebuilt from the video a couple of months ago. A small wattage power supply presents a problem, but I tried it anyway to surprising results.
****Update -- after installing an 80mm Noctua fan, there is improved benchmark scores, and better temps.*****

You can build a solid Gaming PC with NEW parts for right at 500 bucks US. I tested with an #RX480, but there are RX580's available that I worked into the budget. 10th Gen #Intel, 16GB DDR4 memory, #B560 Mobo and all the fixin's. This is a solid build with most AAA titles getting over 60FPS and even more difficult games to run doing extremely well.

A few months ago I went on a search to find a budget priced #AMD #Ryzen Processor, and was only able to find the Ryzen 3 3100 for a reasonable price. Okay, reasonable, as in $150. It made me start thinking about doing some comparison tests with Intel for the same price, BUT, in a few weeks AMD is releasing several new processors with most of them being in the sub $200 budget range. It may be time for a whole new set of tests!!

All images including the AMD logo are property of AMD corp.
Half a decade ago, the #AMD #RX480 and RX580/590 were absolute workhorses and gave mid range #NVidia cards a run for their money. That was years ago and several models have come and gone since then.
Can the 8GB RX480 play recent Triple A titles at more than a snails pace? Is it worth picking up if you can find one? Let's find out!
