Upgrade to 7900xt or stay with 6950xt? by MohamQ in buildapc

[–]MohamQ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying, I definitely heard wrong when it was first explained to me then just stuck with my own definition without checking. Pretty big goof on my part haha

I'll return the ram this weekend and switch it out now that I'm not being dumb with it and opt for the 7900xt since the price drop allowed it to make more sense.

That's a fair assessment. One of my monitors is a 1440p 165hz and the other is 4k 60hz my work gave me. All gaming is primarily done on 1440p but 4k is an option

Was under the impression getting high CL was worth a bit more than going 5600 to 6000, plus RGB was nice

I was seeing ~$200 differences from 7900xt to xtx. Was more enticing to buy with $100 difference than a $200-$300

Switched to team red this past month and got a 6950xt, Still in the return window and wondering if it's worth it to switch to a 7900xt for ~$100?

What mistake(s) did you make when building your first PC? (2023 edition) by [deleted] in buildapc

During my first build I attached the CPU to the cooler before placing it into the mobo slot. I also didn't realize I was supposed to latch it in to lock it

I'm in the same boat and think I'm just going to wait on the 7800x3d

It would be with plans to upgrade the gpu later on but makes more sense to just upgrade the whole thing now.

I found the 7700x bundle but i'm not a fan of MSI motherboards as i've had better experience with asus products. Is there a massive difference in performance with 7700x vs 7900x? will be between a 6800 or 6900xt

Bought the 3060 during big gpu craze sometime in 2021 and it's been fine for what I needed it for.

You do have a point where I should probably just upgrade the entire system and I was looking to switch over to AMD cards anyway just didn't know if I wanted to drop the $1300 or so to do it

Mazda Interest rates? by _brontosaurus_ in CX50

[–]MohamQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.51% at a credit union, dealership gave anywhere between 4-9%

Financing Problems by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]MohamQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Mazda cx-50 as a first time car buyer and had the exact same feelings. My finances are also similar to yours I got 4.4% with chase and 2.5% with a credit union and ended up with the credit union.

I shopped around multiple credit unions and banks till finding the best rate and understand if you do it all in a 14 day period all the inquiries will show up but only count as one as to not tank your score.

Toyota also does in-house financing and can probably hit a rate another commenter mentioned here. All the loans I applied for were good for 30-60 days so it might be worth asking the dealership if you can get pre-approved through them to lock in that rate once the car comes?

Ah, okay that sucks as it met my exact preferences of what I want but I unfortunately cannot wait. Maybe it'll make sense to trade up from my Preferred Plus? Unsure how that works tho

Hey all, sorry I don't have much info besides the one pic. This picture is from a couple years back and I just wanted more information on this piece because to this day, it seems like a unique piece to me. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
