Let’s be honest: now is not the best time to create a new desktop. Prices are high on everything, especially the latest and (only sometimes) the best CPUs and GPUs. If you’re looking for practical advice on how to find the best hardware at the best price, we have a special guest on the PCWorld YouTube channel. Ozie from Oz Talks Hardware joined Gordon at CES 2023 to learn how to save money on his next build.
Oz knows how to squeeze PC hardware and the money it’s worth for everything it’s worth. He recommends that builders wait when possible, especially if you’re trying to build a sub-$1,000 PC. If you can hold out until the second half of the year, with a graphics card in particular, you’ll be well positioned to get the most bang for your buck.
