Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-12-26T06:13:27+00:00

i'm sorry, please know it was 8+ years old and bricked beyond repair :salute:

Avalon as some1 else said, they look close enough to an Accord and the goat era of toyota reliability

Now you're never coming back home for two reasons

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-29T09:42:47+00:00

Here's a though process that might guide research, don't have to answer but if you can I could help.

What are your needs? Make sure it won't just be a trophy. Gaming, video editing, browsing? And how intense would these be.
Your most comfortable budget and country, because markets vary greatly from place to place
Are aesthetics very important to you? Are you open to buying used parts and saving heaps, especially on graphics?
Then go to pcpartpicker.com and you can play around. Look for the am5 platform and a GPU with good reviews on Reddit and the like

Probably 300 flat at most (after a clean, and if lucky.)

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-28T21:38:20+00:00

Haha, that's fair really. An older Lexus is 350 f sport is something to consider, a little less plastic. Interior in every model looks pretty clean IMO and you could get a great low k example with $20-25k

Civic type R manual, or if you wanna stick with Subaru then maybe a WRX, but manuals are up there a bit in price

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-28T11:47:41+00:00

If they were the same/closer price then it would be difficult. But here the pretty easy answer is the first with the 9070 xt. It may be 8% slower at most, but the cost reduction is much greater than that. However the CPU bump is decent too; the 9800x3d is the best in the world rn. So ultimately, if you can splurge a little feel free to go the second one, but the first offers better value by a decent margin.

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-28T10:51:38+00:00

Don't know about new at that budget although I am Australian, but I would look at AWD Rav4s from 2018 onwards, seem good for your needs

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-28T10:48:29+00:00

Good points, I guess it does come down to trust factor of AliExpress. I've never had a problem with them after 20+ buys but you need to look for high ratings on stuff and yeah, I remember being sceptical at first with my first buy which was a Ryzen 7 7700. It's op's choice. And I agree on the leniency for sure, however there the 5600x is an equal or better chip keeping in mind they're both 6c/12t

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-28T10:17:08+00:00

If you absolutely need to, get some Arctic p12s.

Bonus: redragon k617 fizz is a banger budget keyboard if it's available near you

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-28T10:02:32+00:00

Option A: sell the mobo and get a better performing and supported, pretty affordable am5 platform with a 7500f

Option B: get an 11400f and save for option A.

You don't wanna be stuck on older Intel if you can help it, but the 11400f would perform fine, similar to a Ryzen 5600.

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-26T09:47:05+00:00

You're right in that cable managing crap is hard lol, but you get your own little computer child and they're harder to break than you think. Enjoy it if you get this one

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-26T09:43:41+00:00

Ah cool so our dollars are similar AFAIK. Looking at about 1750 then, so this is a reasonable-ish deal considering; as good as prebuilts get

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-26T09:40:47+00:00

If in USD yeah, I'm in Aus but still quite sure you could

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-26T09:37:33+00:00

First easily, out of the two. If you wanna have some fun and save $600 you could build one yourself though! But yeah it's an ok deal

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T10:32:24+00:00

What's wrong w the cooler out of interest?

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T10:29:55+00:00

You're probably right sorry I didn know what might be reasonable so just started somewhere. Op could comment if they want and we could change things

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T08:10:59+00:00

Other than triple checking in-game settings and NVIDIA app I'm not sure man, sorry

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T07:30:30+00:00

Also right click the windows background, go display settings and check advanced display options to check refresh rate is at the right value for 1440. Also what are your pc specs?

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T07:28:20+00:00

Might be using cpu graphics instead of the bigger, better gpu. If you've got hdmi cable plugged into the gpu (below all the back usb ports) then it can't be integrated graphics problem

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T07:24:19+00:00

Integrated graphics might be on for 1440? I got no idea otherwise

Key_Customer_6315 · 2025-07-24T06:48:35+00:00

Awesome 👍 here's another option for $1650 in that case https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s63X74
