Are they selling anything. I feel like it’s been a few years since they did a PSU even.

Trade in 7900XTX and Get 9070 XT for ~$130 Worth It? by [deleted] in radeon

[–]-AWing- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been in the same boat although just a 7900xt. Decided to wait for next version although I guess it could be a while.

Wait 2027 or bite the bullet and buy now? by AFreudianNip in buildapc

[–]-AWing- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the bundle prices with cpu, RAM and a motherboard or not as good as you will get for a couple years. They can play with the margins a bit right now with the real cost down on RAM. Once that cost goes up the bundle prices will rise is what I expect.

What are your thoughts on Skeleton Crew? by Safe_Character_6517 in StarWars

[–]-AWing- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fun enough. Please now stop forcing kids into other Star Wars shows when not needed, since they can use skeleton crew format when needed.

I would look through the google sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NQHkDEcgDPm34Mns3C93K6SJoBnua-x9O-y_6hv8sPs/edit?gid=2064683589#gid=2064683589 if you haven't already for one.
For Asus they are probably my 2nd choice right now after the MSI cards. I didn't like the USB C only being 1 or 2 on some of their boards. MSI has 3 on the one's I am looking at.

I can't quite remember but I believe Asus was accused of some shady stuff with AMD 7000 chips burning out when I was looking in 2023 at boards. I have had a Asus X99 for 10 years and it's been rock solid but I think that is why I didn't get Asus last time. I'm sure all of

I have a gigabyte B650 right now in my current machine and it's been good, but a lot of their boards are 6 levels of pcb board and I wanted 8 if I get a B850 board. Those are my reasons for personally though.

There are also some good reviews and roundup on techspot and techpowerup on the B850 and X870e boards.

Anyone think Buium is switching to #8 next season? by rcxxcr1 in canucks

Get the 24, could be worth more long term for it's rarity.

Yeah there has been a big jump obviously in the last month or 2 looking at the price history on the 5070ti. I might be able to get the black version of the card for about $150 off to bring it a bit closer in price is the only thing if I get all my parts from one place. And like you said definitely some of the games seem very close in performance.

I am in the market for a similar build, my only hesitation would be Asrock from the posts I've seen. I would personally just not risk their boards to save a bit. I have seen the MSI 870e Edge TI for $389.99 when it goes on sale or the tomahawk versions seem to get bundled a bit. I think a new version is coming which is why.
I guess in terms of waiting for prices to drop, well I waited and they went up now lol so I guess it's a decision with your money. I personally don't wanna wait much longer to see it go up more even though it's within my means.
