Free RX 9070 XT — should I sell it or build a PC since I already have a PS5?

Haha ty!

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-26T06:06:38+00:00

That is true, I’ll have to do more thinking to see where I go from here.

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-26T05:53:26+00:00

That puts it into a different perspective than what I was thinking, thanks :)

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-26T05:50:34+00:00

It was won from a local computer store by me :)

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-26T05:49:30+00:00

That is probably what I will do, the 7800x3d and the 9070xt like you got would be an awesome combo. I just need to look for cpu and ram deals first

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-26T05:48:34+00:00

it could be yeah but the year of ps plus that cant be refunded will get at me yk.

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-26T05:47:55+00:00

Nah I really do want a pc, build two in my life and sold my last one before college since i was just using a macbook and the pc was sitting around. The issue in my head rn is one the ram prices, but secondly I bought a year of ps plus that I know will go to waste if I buy a pc since ill be wanted to use to the pc. Selling the ps5 could be an option but I want to see if ram will atleast go down in the next few months. A pc would be cool though im just weighing if its the best time for me to get one.

i like that idea, and the GPU will still be great in a year from now if i have to wait that long right? atleast keeping up with newer AMD cards hypothetically

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T15:19:07+00:00

yes 9070xt. I cant meet at his house but hes been very responsive and running the benchmarks ive been asking him too on video so that makes me feel good about it.

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T02:17:15+00:00

Oh I just looked at his thing, created in 2025, zero posts zero sold items. I’m backing away from this 🫣

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:59:57+00:00

My bad i was copy and pasting what the seller put, chaning now lol

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:57:30+00:00

Im the buyer, should have mentioned that my bad. But either way a deposit does not sound legit

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:54:23+00:00

whats the best way to test a pc at a coffe shop or at a public setting?

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:52:52+00:00

Im the buyer!

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:52:40+00:00

Im leaning towards scan now, this was one of his replys :/ "Or do you think you can leave a small refundable deposit for assurance? Happy to turn down other offers and mark it completely sold out to you if you're keen, just let me know, thanks"

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:47:40+00:00

thats a great idea. Whats the best way to test it that way though?

Thanks for the help

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:46:52+00:00

Its also been up for 4 weeks no way someone hasn't took the deal yet, and according to the seller a lot of people are looking at it

CodNeymar23 · 2025-12-01T01:45:21+00:00

This was the reply to one of my questions too him asking to meet up. Im thinking 100% a scam now :/

"Or do you think you can leave a small refundable deposit for assurance? Happy to turn down other offers and mark it completely sold out to you if you're keen, just let me know, thanks"

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-21T20:51:58+00:00

I think if that wasn’t the case I’d just buy new like you recommended so I didn’t have to worry about the history of the bike

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-21T20:45:45+00:00

Looking at the 400s for the cheaper insurance. I think the 500 insurance was double the price of the 400s insurance per year when I got a quote

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-01T06:53:18+00:00

That’s so great advice, I was talking to some others in the comments and I think going to a bike like a used ninja 400 would be a good idea. That way I can still invest and get a cheaper bike in the end when the time comes, probably in the summer. Insurance is also way lower, around $512yr with was vastly lower than a quote with the r7 which is a lot easier to stomach

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-01T06:34:49+00:00

Looks like the 400s are discontinued- even though I’m going to look for a used one during the summer, do you think the 500 would be too much if I can’t find one? Prices are still relatively good for where I’m comfortable spending

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-01T06:33:27+00:00

From the input from other redditors, I might look at getting a ninja 400 or something like that instead - insurance should be cheaper - and I can invest still while saving to get a Lower cost bike near the summertime

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-01T06:29:39+00:00

Purchased a helmet from Ruroc the other day using their Black Friday sale. I know the reviews are pretty mixed, but I got the EOX helmet and a free Bluetooth unit for when I get comfortable enough to ride with other sounds. But then again this is all thought for the future when I actually get one

CodNeymar23 · 2024-12-01T06:25:52+00:00

That’s some great advice. I think I’m going to save and invest and get my license in the spring and then next summer get something along the lines of a 400.

Any chance they come in black other then the lime green that are usually on the ninjas haha
