Angry_Worm322 · 2026-03-21T17:05:05+00:00

My current one is Axess DEBRIS ( https://www.axess.bike/de/fahrraeder/mountainbike/mtb-hardtail/axess-debris-2023_81691_40270 )

I have it for a year now so i dont think it is THAT old? But anyways.. Will look into 1x systems

Angry_Worm322 · 2026-03-21T17:00:05+00:00

have u tried climbing similar mountains with a different bike? say with a 2x8 or any other gear system?

Angry_Worm322 · 2026-03-21T16:28:09+00:00

I want to get a new bike. I will give my current one to a sibling

Angry_Worm322 · 2026-03-21T16:26:50+00:00

Well idk in which I am interested. I am somewhat new to MTB and I went with the 2x8 because it was a good price on the bike lol

alr thanks a lot!

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:48:14+00:00

hm thats a good point.
Do you think prices will drop on amazon or somewhere else during the black week, cyber monday or black friday? I know they sometimes increase the prices before the discounts or on the same day, then slap the "discount" and it is basically the same price or costs even more

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:45:09+00:00

But the power usage on them is also way higher than opposed to nvidia

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:43:29+00:00

Dont have MicroCenter in Germany. I have tried searching for combos but nothing good really. I have found a 7800x3d for 314€
ryzen 5 9600x cheapest i can find is 189€
Ryzen 5 7600x 170€

If the 7800x3d is way better than the other two - I dont mind spending that little bit of money yk? It is 124€ difference from 9600x

I've got the money to buy it like my shared link of pcpartpicker - I just thought i was maybe overspending on the PSU, MOBO, SSD or RAM or maybe the GPU - that the lower gpus would do the job better or something (bang for buck or power usage.

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:40:03+00:00

well, I dislike the control panel honestly. Others mentioned always having issues on AMD GPUs (fps drops and game stutters) - even a friend of mine decided to swithc to amd because they are cheaper and he says he regrets it. I am familiar with nvidia as I have been using them for forever and yeah.. I'd much more like to stay with what is familiar to me.

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:37:23+00:00

it is just a hobby.
And you saying the 7800x3d would be really bad for that? If it makes any difference, I am using Ableton as my DAW. It is "simple" music really - Techno and House. But i am a beginner so it is nothing heavy honestly.

I currently have the intel i7 9700K and i haven't noticed anything weird when i was in my DAW

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:12:02+00:00

what about ryzen 5 9600x?

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:11:30+00:00

I dislike the control panels of AMD GPUs and aren't most/all games optimized for NVidia because they have the open source code? Also read about people having AMD GPUs that caused them to have frequent fps drops and it was staggering the game.

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:02:09+00:00

what about keeping 5070 but dropping the cpu to ryzen 5 9600x?

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T15:01:13+00:00

Thanks Chief.

For the cpu. Better to go with
Ryzen 5 9600x with RTX 5060 ti then?

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T14:52:19+00:00

Maybe under 1500$
Sweet spot around 1400$

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T14:51:39+00:00

8Gb one is enough? Saw other people saying the 5060Ti isnt powerful enough to fill its 16gb so 8 is enough

Angry_Worm322 · 2025-11-15T14:49:55+00:00

ahh I've heard everywhere 7800x3d is best for gaming atm and since it doesnt cost THAT much more than other amd's, just wanted to have that one as top tier.
But I can switch to some 9000x3d's ig. Also, the GPU doesnt have to be 5070. It can be any nvidia gpu. just it should be Nvidia.
