I thought you say you play 2D games?



Nowadays iGPU can be quite powerful also.

But this iGPU + CPU still quite expensive.. you are better off with a desktop CPU + GPU.


Indeed. I have slowly moved my series of PCs to the 8th and 9th gen i5 core processors and they came with UHD610 or was it UHD630. I no longer explore new games. So far StarCraft 2 runs smooth on integrated gpu!✌️

Whatever works. If constantly need to chase after the latest tech, trend or fad, and let others know for validation, then the person probably have a serious vanity and ego issue. :s22:

Early Core series CPUs still plenty capable for basic web tasks like Youtube 1080p and MS Office.

Ya I'm surprised nothing spoit.. directly above the psu was my soundblaster card lol. The psu exploded with a small-medium flame(bottom mounted psu with fan facing up so could see the fire), possibly from blown caps, flame extinguished on its own. My whole room had white smoke and smell of burnt electronics for the whole day
