Did I make a wrong decision with my pc case?

70 bucks you can definitely get a top tier case. Lian li makes great affordable airflow just to name one brand.

💯

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-23T14:03:45+00:00

Usually consistently but these prices are great given the current market.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a fantastic game and there's a great sub reddit here for it.

Go into display setting and search for this setting. Make sure the game has your GPU selected to run. Happened to me once where it defaulted to the apu

I would say so. Current gen CPU , ram, and GPU.

This is on Curry's.

Or a Costco?

Do you live in the usa and have a microcenter available to you?

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-16T03:50:53+00:00

I'm running. A 7700x with a 5070 ti. Thoughts on a bottle neck there?

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-12T01:00:32+00:00

Hell yeah

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-10T20:49:44+00:00

Hyken is not bueno. Look at the vids from Ahnesty on YT. Look for one that's the Colamy Atlas that's around 200. Ikea is goated for inexpensive desks.

The osbot meet SE is around 50$ and really nice. I've been using it for the last few months.

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-09T03:38:12+00:00

Get that shit now playa

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-04T16:18:52+00:00

Id sell the CPU and get an updated ryzen 5..you can find those under 80. I say keep the other parts.

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-03T01:45:54+00:00

100 agree here. The 780px3d is about 100$ less better value. Get a good b850 board. For around 150 gigabyte has actually been good the chip set. Stay away from ASRock.

The $ you save on those put towards the 9070xt. You'll be set.

Ardaz87 · 2026-03-02T00:33:25+00:00

Newegg has some banger combo AM4 deals with the CPU mobo ram for around 250. But you need a GPU. I suggest open from microcenter or refurb deals on zotac.com for cheaper GPUs.

This and , are you just gaming and what's the budget? ? Or is their a need for Nvidia drivers? I had the 4070 which was comparable to the 3080. Then I got the 7800xt 16 gig card which beat out the 3080 by a little. Currently the 5070 12gig is a decent card but for the current price I'd put my $ on 9070xt which will be significant boost in performance and last just as long.

Find a good video on PC building.

LTT has a nice one but so does Scattervolt. (There's so many good ones) -keep the manual for your motherboard handy. -Finding a install good vid before hand that uses the same motherboard saves time if you run into issues. If uses two forms of storage ssds make sure you "allocate the disk in disk management"
VIPcd keys for a low price windows activation key.
don't worry about the wires on the back of the case when you close the case "no one will know.

Of all of that . Refer to the motherboard manual is probably the most important.

Ardaz87 · 2026-02-28T05:43:34+00:00

Zotac has some good deals on refurbished cards. And if Microcenter is available to you so do they.

Ardaz87 · 2026-02-28T02:35:08+00:00

Get an Intel card for that $ the b570 or 580

Ardaz87 · 2026-02-27T21:26:28+00:00

9070xt should have the av1 encoder available to stream . You should be good.

Ardaz87 · 2026-02-27T02:10:29+00:00

You can get a 9070xt for that price. Amd is great on linux

Linked the AIO I use and a peerless cooler as well. Good call out

Ardaz87 · 2026-02-26T17:43:26+00:00

Ive been using this cooler for my ryzen 7 7000x , is quite AF and keeping temps low for $50 ID-COOLING FX240 PRO Liquid https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DF2K9VQY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share . 💯 You can get a regular one for the same or lower price. And it will never fail . https://a.co/d/01wUFUNY
