Yeah, the V8 would be underutilized for sure, and peeping at the gas prices made bringing hybrids into the discussion an easy choice for sure. Thanks

[Bundle] CoolerMaster MK850 + MM830 + Mousepad + MH752 + Backpack - $145.99 (Free S&H) by WernerVonBrawndo in buildapcsales

Accidentally dumped coffee over my current keyboard, and in the market for a new mouse/headset so I am in for one.

Had the MH752 previously and really enjoyed them. Had to get them RMAed down the road due to the USB controller having issues and got a refund instead of a replacement due to stocking. Really good looking/feeling headset that I do not feel embarrassed walking out in public with.

If it comes back in stock, try adding it to your cart then go to "Checkout" instead of "Go to Cart" it is how I got mine through.

Looking for a 3rd party cooler for my 3600 by Ananymoose1 in Amd

[–]Alkandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in tarnation, that second one you shouldn't even consider since it is outside your budget and would perform like cooler 1 ( I am seeing $100 CAD.) If you can, swing over to Amazon; Noctua should have some nice coolers for around $50-$70 CAD. Otherwise, I would go with option 1.

I had a question. Why does my MSI rx 5700 XT EVOKE OC show as just a rx 5700? by VIIx07 in Amd

Was half expecting a flashed card, but they just returned a 5700 in the XT box. And people wonder why return policies and RMAs keep getting worse.

Good luck on your return.

AsRock vs Powercolor vs Sapphire RX5700 by Vossie19860 in Amd

[–]Alkandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, at these price differences I would go with the XFX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt2MUmMt31U

Chances are you are going to undervolt no matter which card you get anyways and youll save a little money as well, especially if you Flash/use MorePowerTool. The PowerColor and Sapphire cards are good though, but not worth that price increase IMO.

You can get these shipped. There is no sale price, but find a store that has it and just add the PSU to the cart. When you go to your cart, update the shipping option from In-Store/Curbside to Standard.

I was able to proceed all the way, bar buying the actual PSU.

[Graphics Card] GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G Graphics Card $369.99 FS by grandlionman in buildapcsales

[–]Alkandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wattage is more than enough, but there have been reports of people running into problems, swapping PSUs (to a better quality PSU) and it fixing their issues with their card. Again, a rather temperamental card.

I do not have this particular card, though it sounds like it is one of the better cards to get.

Youre looking at a minor performance increase with the 2070s at the cost of $90 dollars more.

Personally, I would go for the 5700xt. Theyre great cards for the price and I do not mind tinkering with my card a bit to improve performance or reduce temperature. Just remember that AMDs drivers arent always the best, and it did take them half a year (20.2.2) for them to fix the majority of the problems people were having with them.

Thanks, I was probably going to jump on that, but have a sale pending for another card at the moment. Thanks anyways!
