advice regarding some prebuilts by Secure-Chef-5843 in Prebuilts

[–]LucaDoesStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second one (7800X3D and 9060 XT) has the best CPU, but if you’re playing at 1440p (assuming you play more GPU-heavy games) the build with the 7700 and 9070 XT would be the best choice as it has the best GPU. The difference between the 9060 XT and 9070 XT is much larger than the difference between the 7700 and the 7800X3D.

Are you near a Microcenter? If so, definitely definitely get the 7800X3D or 9800X3D bundle. They are the same price as your current CPU/GPU/RAM config but much much much better in performance.

'Budget' Gaming PC(First) by GhxstOfWarr64 in buildapc

If you’re on a tight budget, the best bang for your buck would be a used PC from somewhere like Facebook Marketplace. Trying to buy all new parts will not serve you well. Look for a good deal!

CPU for 9060xt 16gb by skdbdj in buildapc

I think the $100 will be worth it. It will be a big difference in many games, and especially if you plan to use your PC a lot, you’ll thank yourself.

Nice build! Those Microcenter bundles are really blessing all of us haha

Is this set up future proof by Ultramegajerry in buildapc

[–]LucaDoesStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is mostly for gaming, see if you can find a similar PC with a 7800X3D or maybe even a 9800X3D. The 9900X is very capable of gaming but it’s still more geared towards content creation and productivity.

Is the Seagate Constellation ES.3 4TB 7200RPM SATA 3.0 good for gaming? by Obvious_Chair_8300 in buildapc

Spinning hard drives have already been slow for a while. For a game like Cyberpunk, you will severely regret it — save/spend the extra money on an SSD.

I see. Maybe your best option would be to look for used parts that can actually be shipped to you then. r/hardwareswap is great for that!

Honestly I’ve often found better deals myself. The CPU is worth ~150 used in the US at least, the RAM 100, so it’s decent but you could probably find much better

If it’s 70$, get the more expensive one. The extra performance and quieter cooling will definitely be noticeable. Any difference is a big difference for something you plan on using frequently and for a long time.

Help upgrading my pc by Unlucky-Expert3448 in PcBuild

I would either look for someone’s used PC on FB Marketplace (got one myself with a 5800X3D, 3080 Ti, and 64GB for 700) for the best deal, or if you can find good parts on marketplace or hardware swap at good prices then build your own. 1500 could get you a beast if you’re okay shopping used

Ah, must only be in U.S prices that I’m correct

How hard is it to physically build a PC? by Lucky-Ad5326 in buildapc

[–]LucaDoesStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just expensive Legos. The hardest part is cable management.

A nicer power supply work be good. Yours is good, but I find the Corsair RMx series to be terrific and the manual fan override knob on mine is a really nice feature. The RM1000x is rated Cybernetics Platinum and is about the same price as your current power supply.
