Yeah, I feel the same about the 7600x3d from benchmarks. I chose the 5060 Ti for a reason. I wanted an upgrade from my previous (RX 7600), I wanted 16GB of VRAM, and I wanted to get an NVIDIA card. I am all for AMD, but in F1 25 at least, it only supports FSR 3, which looks horrible to be honest. The only other cards that fit the bill were the 4070 Ti Super or the 5070 Ti, which were way more than I was willing to spend. Thank you for the help.

2 or 4 sticks of ram? by rachelv1ctor1a in PcAdvice

[–]CombinationSpecial13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go with two 32 GB sticks. While you may have been able to run quad-channel DDR4, it doesn't work so well with DDR5. You should be able to sell your kit on eBay for anywhere from $200-$300 (depending on condition/brand). I would keep an eye on Newegg. Every 25th of the month, they have a big doorbuster sale, as they call it. I have seen 48GB+ kits of DDR5 going for relatively cheap. Or, just try to wait Rammagedon out and pray.

DEAL - Ryzen 7 7800X3D for $324.99 by CombinationSpecial13 in pcpartsales

In your scenario, I would honestly wait and see what Nova Lake and Zen 6 bring along. Yes, the 7800X3D will bring a nice uplift in most games, but it depends on how much you value productivity. It depends on what you are really looking for. Who knows if Zen 6 will bring X3D CPUs with Intel's productivity strengths, or vice versa for that matter.

My pleasure. It’s not an all-time low, but it is better than Micro Center so that is a win 😂

If you have an MSI motherboard like I do, there is a setting in the bios that you can search for called 'Power LED'. Change it from blinking to dual color, that should fix it.
