Budget. A perfect balance between price and performance.
How high can you go before a budget rig stops being budget? That’s a pertinent question with how GPU pricing is tumbling. On the AMD side, the Radeon RX 6800 vanilla GPU is now very cheap.
As we go to press, you can get one for around $890. That’s for a brand new card – not a refurb, not open box. What a deal. It’s awfully tempting to slot it into the AMD Budget rig and fiddle around with some other items to keep the price under $1,500. To be honest, that wouldn’t be hard, but there’s a better option for us with this build.
