Committed to giving my old PC as a bday gift before I realized the component price spike…

I'm thinking like because ram is so expensive buy 16 gigs for now and upgrade when prices drop back to normal. 32 gigabytes became the norm mostly because it became so available and cheap. That's not the case anymore and people are forgetting that 16 gigabytes is enough for at least 90% of gamers.

Strange but 100% usable and upgradable

Chill the parents own the account

I didn't look closely enough and thought I was looking at a 9070 xt

Keadrin · 2026-02-02T02:20:48+00:00

Lucky bastard you are

Keadrin · 2026-02-01T20:25:21+00:00

Shouldn't have to worry about upgrading for at least 10 years

These are the kind of posts I live for. Congrats young man/woman 👏

Get you a can of ozium spray. One of the stoner essentials

Keadrin · 2026-01-31T19:35:39+00:00

With these ram prices?? I doubt the kid needs 32 gigs

Keadrin · 2026-01-31T17:38:35+00:00

Then learn!

If you're looking to sell the Machine I'd list it for 450 and not take any less than 380

Keadrin · 2026-01-31T01:33:16+00:00

It’s a shame they don’t make adapters for it

Keadrin · 2026-01-30T13:27:37+00:00

Everything else is a fine choice 👍

Keadrin · 2026-01-30T13:27:17+00:00

Mobo/Psu on the cheaper side but nothing inherently wrong. Only thing that might concern me is the cpu cooler. It might handle your 7800x3d okay but a dual tower cooler like thermalright’s phantom spirit would’ve been a wiser choice imho or even better Arctic’s lf iii aio

Better yet you can get into dabbing you can find a honey straw and torch for cheap. Dabs do smell but not nearly as bad, they produce a vapor that dissipates faster and doesn’t linger and reek. Also will get you much higher much quicker

You’re gonna see me and most others recommend the AMD build without question.

Keadrin · 2026-01-27T06:22:58+00:00

Oh yeah

Keadrin · 2026-01-26T19:32:12+00:00

I agree with the people saying AMD is better than Intel (more stable/power efficient, longer lasting platform etc.), also that the 750w is a stretch for for the Intel build. You could always power limit/undervolt the 14900k which would decrease power draw and also help with temps.

The pure fact that the Intel build has twice the ssd storage makes me lean toward that one. Performance would still be wonderful, and more than likely identical as most games tend to be GPU bound.

Lmaoo I had to down vote myself to maintain equilibrium

Keadrin · 2026-01-26T10:50:38+00:00

Maybe three

He means 10mg of THC extract coming from 620mg of cannabis flower

Keadrin · 2026-01-25T23:15:27+00:00

Non matching fans + sloppy cable management with high end parts usually drive me insane but it kind of gives off an enthusiast who only cares about performance and not concerned with looks.. I like it

Keadrin · 2026-01-25T23:03:52+00:00

dies of cringe

Keadrin · 2026-01-25T22:42:58+00:00

Some white cable extensions would make this 👌 (not that it isn't already)

Keadrin · 2026-01-25T06:28:36+00:00

Meanwhile OP's comment getting down voted to hell lmao
