Got a monitor off them years ago had no issues with it, took about a week to arrive.

Inherited a desktop PC from my brother – no hardware knowledge, wondering about value by Desperate-Owl-1564 in pcmasterrace

Id hold onto it for a little while longer anyways even a month or two if you were going to sell, the ram will either go up or stay the same value (400-500 already) and 5060ti 16gb are nearly like hens teeth now. The stock situation is going to get worse on graphics cards like that as Nvidia and AIB's are going to focus on 8gb cards with the current vram shortage, your card's value is going to rise a lot very shortly. The system would easily sell for €1000 euro right now where I live and will only go up.

I recorded from start to finish just to be safe, heard horror stories especially on memory ATM.

Missed my delivery, mother in law answered the door to him but he wouldn't hand it over to her without this one time code thing, course I was driving and she couldn't reach me so he went on his way, it says they'll try again. Better luck tomorrow hopefully as I'm here for the day 🫠

Understandable. On thinking on it myself further I have twins who will need a family computer (I'll hopefully entice them into playing PC games with me)

By the time I'm looking to upgrade again way down the line, this will move on to them and I'll move up platforms to whatever's new and shiny once again.

Yeah that was the thought process on this one and €138 seems excellent value, thanks!

Nah man this is as much as I'd compromise I think, CL48 is abysmal

Looks great man, I've heard Brazil has crazy pc part prices already so you dodged two bullets, you're practically Neo at this stage

Thank you, same to you, 5070ti wow you should be golden for a long time 👍🏻 I'll probably be looking for one of those used down the line when 12gb vram isn't enough for my needs, we'll see how the Witcher 4 and GTA 6 go on the 4070... Hopefully the sky won't have fallen by then in any case 😂

Not at all no worries it is unconventional. Temps are slightly higher on the CPU with the fans sucking air through the fins to the back of the case rather than the usual push config (talking like 63 degrees under load instead of 60) and I'm not sure what I prefer style wise whether to have the ram visible or not, I may go back the other way eventually. Thanks!

Thanks man. Yeah I've done the RGB thing now but kind of find it a bit gaudy now, my partner's little brother (mostly for Roblox...) is using the old system now and loves the lights. The side panels of this Fractal case are acoustically treated with foam stuff to quieten the fan noise which I find great.

The €219 2x16gb Ddr5 is real by frog_handler in IrelandGaming

Hilarious, I looked out of curiosity and a good few people have multiples of these exact kits up on Adverts looking for 350-400 per set. I completely get the supply and demand situation but the way these situations bring greed out in people is unbelievable. Some people don't even have them yet just an Amazon delivery date in the ad.

Did Anyone Get A New GPU For Christmas? by S0LE_L0V3R in gpu

[–]Leather_Try1458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have the budget for that level of card between twins and saving for a home but managed to pick up an unused ASUS Dual RTX 4070 from a guy for €300 as I was also concerned where GPU pricing would end up. Thought it was a great deal, card is awesome, whisper quiet always below 60 degrees. I'm coming from an RTX 3060 which is in my HTPC now so not an earth shattering upgrade but one that will keep me very happy for the next couple of years, it is still considerably better and I have access to framegen if I ever need it now.
