The GPU

This guy right here is the most expensive part of any gaming build- The Graphics Processing Unit, or GPU. Think of this guy as its own CPU, but only for rending 3D graphics and pixels.

Unlike a CPU, a GPU has hundreds of cores that can run tons of threads. These aren't nearly as powerful, only able to run tasks much slower and simpler. As a result.

This, together with the CPU, forms the modern gaming PC.

Like with the power supply, I got this from one of my best friends- This is the Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT with 16GB of VRAM. It served him well and now it serves me well!

Have you tried to fit one of these guys in this case? You have to angle it by the front side so it slides in. I am not looking forward to getting this guy out of there, but that's not going to be for a while!

Nonetheless, getting it connected is the hard part. Games run a whole lot smoother and at higher settings! Even though it's not a 5090 Ti or a 9070 XT, this dude still has some bang for it's buck!
