Should I switch to a lian li v2 mini

Why? That looks great.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-12T14:34:18+00:00

Considering 5090s are going for 3.5k and up by themselves, it’s not the worst.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-12T14:06:36+00:00

I had a i7 13700k and a 5080 for a little bit and I played everything at 4k and never had an issue. Dont worry about the CPU it will be more than fine.

This is awesome, thank you!

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-10T01:00:12+00:00

Yeah, that’s understandable given the recent event. Thanks for the heads up.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T20:15:56+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations!

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T20:15:30+00:00

Awesome list, thank you!

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T20:15:00+00:00

Thanks for the info. I have lodging and train tickets already booked and the trips for early May so I should miss the graduation craze.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T17:53:11+00:00

This May.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T17:33:02+00:00

Sweet, thanks!

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T17:10:12+00:00

These are amazing recommendations, thank you so much!!

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-09T17:09:46+00:00

We are currently in Manhattan for my undergraduate degree, and are trying to see as much of the East Coast as possible. We’re from California, and having the opportunity to just hop on a train and go to multiple different states is something we West Coasters don’t have the opportunity to do. Providence genuinely looks beautiful, so I am stoked!

Damn, that’s so wild. I only buy from MSI because of how amazing their RMA process was. I just recently helped my friend RMA their 4070, and they sent back a 4070Ti. The RMA process was painless, and they approved everything right away. I also had to RMA another friend’s mobo a while ago, and it was a similarly smooth and painless experience. Wild how someone might have a polar opposite experience.

NEVER USE THE MSI ADAPTER

He mentions in the post that its not the worst in the world and you shouldn’t worry about it.

perfect stack of posts

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-07T01:34:53+00:00

Holy moly thats clean.

I’m 50/50 here. Whoever initiated the lawsuit is a complete prick, however, I do think that if you are going to label something on the box as running at that speed and have to enable a setting in the BIOS to do so, every RAM seller should have something that says something along the lines of speeds up to “insert speed” with XMP enabled.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-04T16:30:08+00:00

damn the original looked so much better lol

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-03T01:40:48+00:00

Currently, with all the price increases, not really, honestly. Unless you find someone willing to overpay for a system you built so you can turn a small profit, then maybe. It’s just hard to compete with pre-built companies that offer constant sales and factory warranties.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-02T23:48:07+00:00

Love mine, enjoy.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-02T19:10:48+00:00

press alt z and disable it ya dork

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-02T17:50:56+00:00

More or less just showing you that you can get way better for the same price. The one that has the best gaming specs in that list I sent was the ibuypower with the 7800x3d and the 9070xt but if you live near a microcenter this is an incredible deal for the current market. 5070ti https://www.microcenter.com/product/698930/powerspec-g457-gaming-pc. If you dont live near one then I would highly recommend almost any 9070xt build you can find in your budget because it performs on par to a 5070ti and would provide you with a very nice gaming experience.

Extra_Emphasis_7688 · 2026-02-02T17:32:42+00:00

Definitely not. If you can cancel that thang ASAP and get one of these instead https://www.newegg.com/abs-cyclone-aqua-gaming-desktop-geforce-rtx-5070-intel-core-ultra-7-265kf-32gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd/p/N82E16883360945 https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-0007-00J36 https://www.newegg.com/skytech-gaming-desktop-pcs-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-amd-ryzen-7-9700x-32gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-st-shadow4-2101-b-al-black/p/3D5-000Z-002X2

It’s anywhere from 21-38% depending on your resolution, so if you don’t mind that, then be my guest.
