    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    Thanks for the feedback. Which suite and products do you have with discovery? I was also making over a grand a month on eBucks through asap and Clicks and smart spend but now I won't make it to level 5. I read a brochure on the rewards from Discovery, do you have to spend certain amounts at...

    Tips to Boost your eBucks - 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026

    These sudden changes are ridiculous, now I won't be able to make level 5. Can anyone please vouch for Discovery bank rewards but without the health, insurance and retirement products and just a good vitality money status ?

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    Yeah I did consider that as well that's why I wanted to upgrade the CPU, mobo and RAM to conform to the PCI-e 4.0 standard even for the m.2 ssd. It is kak expensive out there even second hand parts. Maybe I will wait

    Yeah I get you it is definitely bound to be standardized soon since the graphics in games are constantly enhancing. Even games such as AC odyssey would take advantage of that since the CPU usage is high

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    Yeah unfortunately haha. 16gb does it though for most games. Yeah I do which I think I definitely need to upgrade it's only 120gb. 1tb ssds are still pricey so I think maybe I'll go for a 500gb for now

    I think they're going for 11k at the moment second hand :( and then you get a RTX 3060 ti for close to that price

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    My max capacity is 16gb (2 Dimms x 8GB modules). It is quite rare these days to find a z97 mobo that is not in a build and I would get one but people are selling them like they are brand new motherboards lol. Yeah I definitely agree with you man one GPU on my mind is the RX 6600 which is...

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    Yeah I do game on a 60Hz monitor. Yeah I was looking along the lines of at least a 6 core 12 thread processor but I've heard for gaming it won't make much of a difference now since a lot of games don't make full use of the extra threads.

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    I totally agree with you. I will be sticking with windows 10 for now and yeah I've got 16gb ram that is the max my mobo can take. I've got a 750w psu which gives me a lot of room to maneuver so yeah I'll wait and see if there is any bargains on GPUs although I doubt it. I was considering a RX...

    I saw on Evetech they had AMD pre-builds for about 15.5k haha that is decent but a bit too much at the moment

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    I would love to get Ryzen but it does come with a cost due to it's popularity even second hand lol. I was considering selling my gpu and spending about 5 to 7k on a decent GPU but still it is really expensive out there

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    Yeah I agree it has served me well! No issues at all with my current workloads. The GPU is a bit limiting especially with the VRAM. My budget is about 5-7k depending on the card. Ideally I'd like a 6gb card at least but it should give me a considerable frame boost over my current gpu

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    Yeah definitely prices are crazy right now. It seems to me at the moment AMD is just ahead of Intel especially when it comes to taking advantage of new technologies but I'll wait and see what Intel 12th gen has to offer. AMD is actually a bit pricey since you have to have a GPU in addition to...

    Best budget upgrade from i7 4790 and gtx 1060 3gb?

    I need some advice. I'm considering upgrading my hardware in my PC since it is aging and I'd like to take advantage of newer technologies. What's the best budget CPU upgrade on the i7 4790 that will give a considerable performance boost and what is the best budget upgrade for a GTX 1060 3gb? I...
