Brand new PC with a RTX 5060 vs a used one

Found a new one for $900 on Newegg. Brand Stormcraft has these specs STORMCRAFT Gaming PC SIRIUS Intel Core i5-14400F NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 – AI Powered 16GB 3200MHz RGB 1TB NVMe SSD 650W PSU Windows 11 Home - SI1440FBB-560N2 - Newegg.com

i5-14400F

B760M D4 WI-Fi CEC Motherboard

16GB RAM DDR4

1TB SSD

650W 80+ Gold

Keyboard + Mouse

How much should a used one with similar specs go for? Is this a good PC brand new for $900?

Building a custom PC for Daz3D with a $2,000 budget. Any recommendations.

This will only be for Daz3D. I will have 5 Genesis 8 characters in the scene, stages will be small.

What motherboard, PSU, GPU, CPU, and cooler am I choosing? I am not doing any 3delight work, just iray only. I plan on upgrading the build later.

I have 2 monitors, 1 for Daz3D, the other is for YouTube. 2 Applications will be open Daz3D and Microsoft Edge.

What can we do if we want 1080P Renders but don't need daz3D to look so realistic?

Daz3D has some of the most realistic lighting and models I've seen. But I don't need it that realistic, I am fine if the renders look like something from a video game like Grand Theft Auto V for example if that speeds up the render time significantly.

What can I do? I don't want to lower the resolution. I need the render detail to look this good.

this already looks really realistic, and it is rendered in real time. Why can't I get Daz3D to do something like this?

Where do you find free assets for game development?

Even if its for something like MikuMikuDance, or Xnalara pose studio, I can convert the model.

I want to make a 8 directional fighting game, either fantasy or realistic, could be a futuristic space station which I am looking for, or outdoors or inside a hospital or a prison.

where can I find these?

My scenes never exceed more than 6GB of VRAM, does it make no sense to increase my VRAM then?

I don't know if having more vram will make it go any faster. What am I looking at then upgrading to speed up the renders, so I hear iray can just use GPU only and CPU speed/cores has nothing to do with speeding up the renders.

RAM usage never hit 100%, but I notice if I use reddit while I have daz3d running it will be very slow to use reddit or do anything online, youtube will not work well.

Am I looking at possibly increasing the amount of cuda cores in my GPU and clock speed?

how long it would take and cost to 3D print Aatrox probably?

This has been my dream for a very long time, 10 years. Now I have finally thousands of dollars saved up, and time on my hands.

I want him to be 7 feet tall, and although movement will be limited, I at least want him to be able to move his arms, fingers so he can hold a sword. arms can just rotate upwards or downwards, I don't need him to be like a action figure.

He will be holding a giant sword, so I need him to be stable, and I probably will want to make a stand for him or have him lean against a wall. What is this going to take?

I just want to dip my toes into the ultra-wide experience, is this a good starter monitor?

I got the money to eventually get myself a Samsung Odessey, I can't right now, but I really need a monitor for the short term, and I can just sell it when I'm done with it anyways.

Is this any good for the money? $175 right now

Can you guys recommend me a monitor with a $300 budget.

It will be for rendering, and also animation.

I'm not using it to game competitively, so I want it to look the best. my budget is $300, I would like a 27" Monitor. 1080P is fine, since my renders are not higher than 1080P.

I will be rendering with a RTX 2080 Super.

What is a fair price for a Used GPU?

You never know what it's been through, heavy gaming for who knows how long.

Depending on how old the card is, what would you guys pay for a used GPU? Is the GTX 1080 still a decent card for today

3 months passed after a mouse or rat pooped inside the PC case.

I have removed any visible poop, the PC is very dusty, and I can see some stains from the pee when they peed inside the PC. They got inside the PC case long time ago.

I sprayed isopropyl alcohol all over the PC case, removed any poop. Am I in the clear, or is this still a possible health hazard?

I was debating on throwing away the entire PC, but it's too expensive

What happens if I ever get off Medicaid?

I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, how am I going to afford these medications if I work at Mcdonalds?

I hallucinated, and had delusions already 2 times, I have been to the mental hospital 3 times already, and I don't know how many more of these I'm going to go to in the future.

I did not expect to go to the mental hospital 3 times.

Am I still a total regard, I need you guys to scare the shit out of me before I lose it all

What I did was go all in with leverage on the largest company in the world Nvidia, I was borrowing twice the money I already had.

Up almost $7,000 since I started this, and still holding. I didn't beat the S&P 500 and I will only be satisfied if I beat it.

3delight is slower than iray, and I don't know why.

16GB DDR4 RAM

512GB SSD, and I have 100GB free space

RTX 4050 Laptop GPU This is a laptop and has 6GB of dedicated VRAM.

and an 13th Gen Intel i5-13420H it has 2.10Ghz

No tabs open, Daz3d is the only thing running at it was a very simple scene, 2 characters, and 1 small room.

Do you think a dash cam is a must have for people doing this full time and many drives?

I get 99% of the time you got a chill passenger, but it's that 1% you never know.

Of course everybody has to work, and deciding not to because of a situation that most of the time won't happen shouldn't prevent anyone from working, there are things you can do.

For example, if the rider is already making threats before you pick them up, it's best to cancel, any red flags cancel the ride.

And just make sure the rider knows you have a dash cam for your safety.

I'm doing great but it's always those weird match ups' that get me.

I'm talking about Riven, Yasuo, Irelia.

What am I supposed to do with these people? Yasuo just dashes towards me, windwalls as soon as I hit e, and I have no escape. Riven always seems to have her dash up after I already hit e to get her away.

Irelia just needs 1 stun to really take me out, maybe I survive at 50% hp and she has so many dashes. These are the matchups I have to play almost perfectly. everybody else I'm winning lane.

Morde, Garen, Darius, are easy dubs, even teemo, and Yorick aren't so hard for me to beat.

I found it happening to me 100% competition on a game I don't really like that much

For example Assassins creed, I like it but the side quests are kind of dumb, it's deliver a mail across the map to some random dude in Assassins creed 3, you only get a wholesome "YOU HAVE MY EVERLASTING GRATITUDE SIR" ,after delivering the mail but that's it, don't gotta fight anybody, just be a mailman lol.

I found a bunch of these dumb side quests I had to complete to 100% the game, I was wondering why I'm doing it, there are plenty of games out there to start than do these silly things but something about getting a 100% completion lets me know I did everything the game had to offer and there won't be any missed content that I wished I would have played or discovered.

I'm just a perfectionist. But no way am I going to finish all my games if I play like this, I don't think there is enough time in this lifetime. Anybody feel the same way?
