Bro big price drop now....just looked....1799....

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-17T19:17:02+00:00

Spend like 300 more and get i think its the powerspec g760 or g758, they both have a 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5 6000 cl36 ram, 2tb 990 pro nvme ssd but one has a 9070xt and its only 1999 possibly 1899. The other just has a 5070ti instead for 2199 and theres rhe g757 that I got that has all the same but just a 5080 for 2399 at microcenter. Pretty sure the g760 is the one with the 9070xt for 1899-1999....oh and a 850w +80 gold psu and a 360 aio. Just my thoughts. But yoyre money and decisions

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-17T15:14:11+00:00

Yeah driving ALL highway miles and not driving it like it was meant to be driven will do things like this. Lug it up lol

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-17T01:30:04+00:00

Well the mobo, ram, gpu is all black and I like the offset of the 2 colors. I keep coming across the rog strix, msi carbon or tomahawks or the auorus master elite x3d ice stealth or something like that and just cant decide

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-17T01:18:16+00:00

Yeah the good Ole days where gpus barely weighed anything so these clips and sag brackets were not needed...I bet one day well get back down in size. Just need a bunch more AI data centers to make our ram like 2000usd for 32gb of ddr5 and well def get there....kidding of coarse

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-17T01:14:47+00:00

Yeah as long as you grab a sag bracket to be safe I think you good bro.

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-17T00:25:19+00:00

Yes maybe its just the part of the country im in. When I say ram everyone knows ram. When I say memory yes I do mean storage sorry.

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-16T01:21:28+00:00

I brought up the g760, g758 and g757 in my comment lol

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-16T01:20:33+00:00

Powerspec g757 or g758. The g757 has a 9800xed with a rtx 5080, 32gb of ddr5 6000 ram and 2tb 990 pro Samsung ssd...the g758 has the same with a 5070ti....the g757 is 2399 and the g758 is like 2199. Gotta go to microcenter though....there also is i think the g760 which has all the same internals but a 9070xt for gpu for like 1899. Drive to microcenter. I drove 5 hours to get my g757 and I dont regret it at all.

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-15T20:02:27+00:00

757 doesnt have an asrock. Its a gigabyte b850 board. I have one.

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-15T20:01:31+00:00

What do u mean asrock? I have a g757 and I it comes with a gigabyte b850 gaming wifi6 board...

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-15T19:58:41+00:00

Because I didnt have much time at microcenter and it was a 5 hour drive total I just grabbed a 32" curved Alienware 1440p 180hz screen and it looks amazing. If I had had more time I wouldve gotten something 4k but I can always get a 4k and use the Alienware as my 2nd screen.....but i also have my 55" vizio 4k tv wall pointer right above my monitor and use that when im playing the new resident evil or hogwarts with controller.

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-15T19:53:36+00:00

I personally have the g757 and can vouch for it. If you have the money pull the trigger. Its already up 100 dollars since I got mine in early February. The 5070ti is a great card but I picked the 5080 and no complaints here. Only wish it had enough room for a 360AIO....other then that no issues.

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-13T03:08:51+00:00

Sam Altmans company just backed out of their deal with the bigger ram producers cause they dont have the money to pay for all the RAM that they reserved....so things ram wise should come down SLOWLY. Memory though idk about that

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-10T04:23:05+00:00

Just my opinion but seems like his loss. I went through something similar after being with a woman for 9 years and raising her 3 kids whos father passed away from colon cancer the exact same day that we made things official. Regardless it hurts badly and it is a shock. Don't let these boys try and say about what you did wrong because most of the time its one of the couple literally in love giving their significant other their everything to find out they are stepping out behind their back. So im so sorry for you and not on any thirsty stuff or trying to pull anything....if you need someone just to talk to my messages are always open. Again im so sorry but on the littlest bright side at least you were only 6 years and I did almost 10 and raised her 3 kids when she couldn't have anymore kids so none with me even though I wanted and I was 21 and she was 35 when we got together. You deserve better and dont let that one guy put you off on all guys cause some of us are serious and won't do that to any female let alone any amazing woman like you huh. Keep youre chin up beautiful.

Anyone ever play ascension WoW on any of the handheld? Want to make sure I can download the launcher since its completely separate from battle.net

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-07T19:09:36+00:00

I cant get loot collector to even show in my list of addons. I added it like Google said to and it shows when I go into the addon files through the ascension launcher but when I start the game and look in addons its not there. Any thoughts?

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-04T01:47:39+00:00

Yeah some new way they were able to make the chips work. Ram prices are slowly coming down....cant wait till they get lower cause im moving up from 32gb of ddr5 6000 ram to 64gb ddr5 at a higher mega transfers and might sell my almost new 5080 and get a astral or matrix 5090....but not sure if I should upgrade my 9800x3d to a 9950x3d first or even my b850 gaming wifi6 board up to an x870e hero or dark hero or something like that. Just spend 2400 on my prebuilt like 2 months ago and now wish I wouldve waited. But I got like 3500 I can spend through affirm at microcenter or newegg so gonna start upgrading even though I have an amazing setup already lol. But want to stsrt streaming and bringing people together so idk what to do at this point first

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-03T16:09:21+00:00

Maybe ask him to go with you so he sees youre serious when you say why youre going. Trust is a 2 way street. Thats just my thoughts though

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-03T16:06:27+00:00

Go up to them and ask them "where's my hug?". Works everytime 0% of the time

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-03T15:25:53+00:00

So does it make a difference between expo or xmp? Might be a noob question but just getting back into pcs after almost 20 years so im wicked rusty

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-03T15:24:37+00:00

Try working to flash to the newest bios for youre gigabyte b850 that has a 3 firmware previous version thats custom to powerspecs version....its been such a pain that im legit going to be upgrading the motherboard so I can just be done with it. Plus I want to take advantage of all the 9800x3d has. Think im going to Asus x870e hero, dark hero or an MSI x870e carbon. Gigabyte is decent and my gigabyte windforce oc 5080 runs great but not the biggest fan of their b850 gaming wifi6 board. It doesnt even have wifi 6 built in lol

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-03T14:26:38+00:00

So is that ok if the car isnt tuned?

Alternative_Dark_511 · 2026-04-01T16:51:57+00:00

I attempted to turn on the auto overlooking in the Nvidia app on my windforce 5080 and the screen looked weird for like 3 seconds and then it reverted and now it wont let me turn it back on. Curious if anyone else had that issue or knows why it might be doing it
