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are up-to-date "Best graphics cards for the money" everywhere on the internet and any info anyone gives here will be out of date in a month.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

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
