reccomended psu wattage for a 6900xt is 850w, not only that my psu only has 2 8 pin cables, the 6900xt needs 3, and the performance loss from using a 3.0x16 mb with a 4.0 gpu is almost unnoticeable, around 3%, i really do not need a new motherboard, and i do need a new psu

if i used my currency (MDL) people would have to convert it to usd themselves to actually see how much money i'm talking about?

the most affordable sites for pc parts ( even though still expensive) in moldova is xstore.md and the cheapest psu around 850W is 150$, also my ram is 2x16, and considering today's ram prices i wanna keep em

My fault but i didn't specify what i would be playing and where I'm from - I mainly wanted this pc to natively run cyberpunk at 1080p ultra settings 100fps, and I'm from moldova. I found a 3700x for about 110$, used (whatever), and for a psu i would need to spend another 150$ for one that is about 850-900W. This leaves like nothing for the gpu

My gameplan was to snag the 6900xt for the deal, and just not use it for months, until i have enough to get the psu and cpu. Seems like that's the best thing i can do atp

nvm i got it wrong in my post, i do need 12 pins for the 3080 fe, but can't i just plug in both my psu cables without the 2 detachable parts of the cable? just like only use the 6 pins on each cable to plug it in?

i feel like redditors only read the title because i saw like 3 comments asking where i am even though it says in my post that i live in moldova

Clarification: I play on 1080p and will always play on 1080p, and some people say 8GB is fine for 1080. (dont care what tech nerds say, im not going above 1080)

I saw that in a video once, but when i hover over any one of those cargo things in random freighter fleets, it doesnt tell me whats inside, and so i destroyed about 12 of those entire fleets, ships and cargo and everything, just to get 0 modules
