I want to choose something decent for 1080p gaming. This total price is in THB so you guys have to translate to US Dollar. My budget is 15000THB

A GTX 1060 would be ok with that spec. Or one of the newer AND cards

A computer without an SSD borders on unusable these days, it's just way too slow. I strongly advise settling for smaller but faster storage. If you do run out of space you have lots of options later on (use flash storage, add a hard drive etc.).

 

As for the video card, I'm not sure about the point of these kind of threads, there are up-to-date "Best graphics cards for the money" everywhere on the internet and any info anyone gives here will be out of date in a month. Just google one of those and take whatever fits your budget.

I would agree with you about a SDD but his budget is only $431 US.

It starts at around 50$ for a 120GB SSD. It's not a lot of storage but one can work around not having a lot of storage. Bad performance, though, there's no solution.

Biggest issue - GTX1060 (even GTX1050Ti) are seeing price-gouging in private sales (and stock shortages among online resellers - even Amazon is getting bit).  Cause - cryptocurrency mining.  Instead of closer to $150USD for GTX1050Ti, I've seen north of $175USD for non-Amazon resellers on the site.  (Yeesh - that's what caused my one-month stall!)

 

When the stall finally died, I got an MSI GTX1050Ti GT OC - mainly because it was the only GPU of the type priced close to stock and with Amazon as reseller (I had originallly planned on going with the EVGA Superclocked - or possibly the SSC; however, now you know why I went with neither.).

 

1.  Plus #1 - Despite my "weaksauce" CPU (G3258 - except for VERY light gaming, it would not be seen as the heart of a gaming system under any circumstances), with the MSI installed, I get reliable 1080p gaming in everything other than shooters as far as DX11 goes.  MOBAs, RTS, city-builders - 1080p all day (or night, for that matter) long.

 

2.  Plus #2 - No extra power needed.  Even though I was replacing a GPU that needed extra power, I hoped to be able to improve without it (GTX750 - original Maxwell - was a wake-up call).  Segue to now, and we have - for all practical purposes - Maxwell Redux in Pascal form.  It's the first GTX to not require extra power SINCE the GTX750 - and the first GTX Ti sort to do so at all.  Better power AND performance, at a lower power use/watt - in fact, lower wattage use, period.

 

3.  Connection simplicity.  While I don't have DisplayPort, I DO have HDMI - the MSI supports full-size HDMI (in fact, HDMI 2.0); the GPU it replaced supported DisplayPort, but not full-sized HDMI.

 

4.  Result - THE one-item upgrade for "weaksauce" desktops with PCI Express slots - of almost any vintage.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
