How does the Arc B580 hold up? I like that it’s 12gb VRAM, but i don’t know much about the gpu. never had an Arc gpu before

The thing with the Intel GPU’s is the drivers were absolutely abysmal when they first came out. I think they are better now, but Nvidia and AMD are light years ahead. All the pro reviewers still don’t recommend ARC unless you wanna sit and tinker with them all the time in the settings. Intel has a lot of catching up to do. I bet you the next go around will be a lot better. I hope they do cause more competition would hopefully mean lower prices.

13400f+B580 12gb for 900 + tax, NO.
the GPU is alright, but for $900 you can build a
B550 $85 new
5800x for $140 used
Vetroo V360 $60 new
gpu 9060 xt 8gb Selling for $300 usd today July 24th and it gives you a $50 Gift card for newegg. so its 250!, Really good GPU for 1080p, not the best for 1440p due to 8GB vram.
2TB Kingspec NVMe gen4 7000MB’s $90 or less.
ASRock CL-750G 750W 80 PLUS GOLD $70
PC Case for $80 Best recommendation SAMA or any cheap case with 3 pre-installed Fans that supports 360mm AIO and Max GPU length of 410mm.
Total cost should be $855 + tax, IF YOU buy the GPU alone, you can use the $50 Coupon , so that should be $805 + TAX.
Leaving you plenty of budget for RAM. Ram should always be purchased LAST! to avoid incompatibility problems due to not being on Verified Ram support List and potentially causing you blue screen or no post! NEWEGG have returns. GOOD LUCK
