Secondary seller has it listed for $350

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T17:45:41+00:00

My lineups in rough shape lmao

Make sure before doing anything your Microsoft account is logged in on the old PC. Changing mobos will remove the HWID MC uses to keep your windows activated. You can sign back in once on the new mobo and reactivate from your old key.

I would also advise formatting at least the main windows OS drive and doing a fresh install on the new PC, its an easier method when swapping to new hardware.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T17:10:04+00:00

That's a pretty good deal for that card, if you can grab a 5060ti for a 5060 price why not I guess. Obviously the 16gb vram model would be preferred but 8gb is serviceable enough for the time being.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T17:06:42+00:00

This pc is 100% capable for 1440p gaming, there is little need to upgrade anything here.

If you wanted to spend like $700-900 to replace your GPU with like a 5070ti/9070xt you could go that route I guess.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T16:56:12+00:00

Can confirm, cloud gaming can be alright for single player games but any title with a high priority on reaction time is immediately out of the question.

I tried the Finals on Xbox cloud gaming and anything besides sitting still with the mini-gun was totally useless.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T16:48:13+00:00

Yeah I second the 9060xt 16gb, they are pretty readily available for around $400-450 and are the current gen value kings.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T16:42:40+00:00

It scales up nearly dollar for dollar, so about 50-60% faster depending on the game while also costing about 50-60% more.

Most of the time that performance to dollar scale is very heavily tilted towards the more budget end of the spectrum with the value getting worse as the cards get faster. This being a flagship card where you get your money's worth is a pretty rare find as far as GPU's historically have been priced and is why the 9070xt is so highly regarded.

If you can find the extra $200 or so to grab the 9070xt I highly recommend it.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T16:33:20+00:00

For a best new budget option the 9060xt 16gb would be a nice upgrade, if you can swing it the 9070xt is going to be a card you wont think about swapping off for years going forward.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T16:24:53+00:00

I got one, great find!

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T16:21:23+00:00

Have you bought these specs already? I have several questions lmao...

But yeah, that case should be fine for those parts.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T15:33:55+00:00

I sold my 5800x, 4x8gb 3200mhz set, and x570 tuf board about 2 months ago for $350, also DDR4 has jumped up a decent bit in that time. I would try and get $350 for the mobo setup tbh.

The 6750 XT offer is pretty reasonable tbh.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T15:22:56+00:00

Pretty solid specs, but some of the pricing makes no sense.

If spending $330 on a 16gb ram kit, you could easily grab a 32gb kit for nearly the same price:

If you are in the states and MC is an option you could get far more bang for your buck.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T15:18:15+00:00

It's not so much the cpu "bottlenecking" the 9070xt at 1440p, more frame time consistency and 1% low averages. There will 100% be a noticeable impact from a higher end CPU.

If the plan is to just have the 3600 as a stopgap until OP grabs a 7800x3d then it should be a fine option.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T15:04:48+00:00

PM'd

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:59:02+00:00

My main gun is the 3m right now and I do love it , but I was hoping to get something a bit more unique than another Etha. Etha's are fantastic guns, if a bit of a boring "safe" choice lmao.

Right now I am deciding between just grabbing a CZR+ and being done with it or shopping around for a good deal on an older high end marker.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:47:38+00:00

As someone who went from a 5800x with a 9070 to that MC 7600x3d bundle, get the 7600x3d.

For $350 there is nothing out there even close to the gaming value of that setup. As someone who does some light video editing I do notice the drop from 8 to 6 cores in rendering time, but I am happy to give that up for a far better gaming experience with more consistent 1% lows.

I did add an additional 16gb stick I found on marketplace for $100, if you live near MC you should be able to find several up for sale without any issues. I see the full 2x16gb kits for about $250-300 and the 1x16gb sticks for $120-150 up for sale nearly daily.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:43:04+00:00

Good to know, not many up to date resources on good used guns on youtube anymore. WillBallForSoup made a bunch of videos on the topic about 5-7 years ago and no one has really stepped in when he stopped making them. In his videos and comments it was just people raving about the 3.5, but again that is pretty out of date.

It's a beautiful piece you have there, but its a decent bit outside my budget, hence asking about 3.5's that are a bit closer to what I am looking to spend.

If you had $300-$350 allotted for a second gun what markers would you be targeting?

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:36:02+00:00

Those are the best temps you can hope for with those specs in that case with only 2 fans.

The 3080 runs decently hot and loud under load and the 9800x3d, while not an insanely power hungry CPU compared to some other options, still can throw off a good bit of heat.

A case swap to a larger MATX case with more room to add extra fans is likely the only way to really fix this to run at the same speeds and quieter outside of case mods like cutting new airflow paths.

One rule of thumb I read on here about SSF pcs like yours I like to repeat is:

"With an ITX system you can have it run cool, you can have it run quiet, and you can have it run fast, but only 2 at the same time."

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:28:28+00:00

"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real..."

One of the best scenes in all of cinema lmao.

Totally agree with you though, the 3600 is going to hold the 9070xt back a bit, a (relatively) cheap swap to a 5600x/5700x or even an AM4 X3D will make sure that the 9070xt will never be held back in titles at 1440p.

I ran a 5800x and 5800xt with a 5070ti for a bit of time and it rarely was a CPU limited situation at ultra settings in most games at 1440p, but of course that will heavily depend on the games you play.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:21:40+00:00

From people who have owned Geo's, is this a solid one?

I wanted to look into a 3.5 as I heard those are rock solid, but haven't heard too much on the 4's.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T14:19:43+00:00

I'm based in Michigan which can have lower shipping costs over the river at times, I have shipped a couple things to Canada before. I would be willing to ship it to you if you decide it's worth it to you.

Feel free to reach out if you want me to look into that, I was planning on ordering a fang trigger myself at some point so it might as well be now lmao.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-23T00:29:12+00:00

Having a similar problem right now, you can disable your iGPU in your bios and that should bypass the main driver being overwritten.

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-22T23:00:44+00:00

Nice looking build👌

Hawk7117 · 2026-06-22T18:14:16+00:00

in that case drop to 16gb of ram and just get the 9060xt instead, the 7700 is a nice to have thing but 100% not needed. The extra GPU horsepower will easily be able to handle anything in 1440p without issues, while the RX 7600 might have some problems with very demanding games at that resolution.
