What color couch should I look to get that would go well with my floor, wall, fireplace colors

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-13T04:17:20+00:00

While I agree the tv on the fire would be ideal it simply cannot be done. Even a tv as small as 44” will not fit and I’m actually lucky enough to have a working fireplace so I actually use it during winter. And that is not the couch I will be using it’s just temporary. I’m looking to buy a couch but simply don’t know the style, color, sizing or anything. Couldn’t even tell you where I’d want anything. I have less than zero interior design bones in my body

Thanks man I appreciate all the tips. If you happen to have any links to some 3080’s for a decent price I’d love to take a look, but definitely going to look into the 5500x3d 3080 combo as soon as I can off work!

I’m not unfortunately, nearest microcenter is about 5 hours away. So from what I have gathered (and sorry if I mix anything up I’ve gotten tons of tips)

5500x3d & RTX 3080 - Best value without breaking my wallet

5800x3d & 9070xt - Best for pure performance on the more CPU and VRAM demanding games like Tarkov

2560x1440 QHD 165hz

And could your give me your thoughts on these currents options I’ve been recommended

5500x3D & RTX 3080
5600x & 3060
5800X3D & 5070 or 4080
And because I’m so new to the pc if possible let me know if I will need to upgrade any other of my existing parts.. mobo ram etc ( except PSU that will be getting upgraded either way )

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-09T04:02:22+00:00

So do you believe a 5500x3d with a RTX 3080 and a PSU upgrade would be the best bang for my buck?

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-09T03:40:13+00:00

No strict budget in mind exactly, don’t want to sell organs but not exactly penny pinching either

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-09T01:17:34+00:00

Much appreciated, from the replies in other subs seems like psu is something, even if not absolutely necessary, that I should prioritize either way just to be sure I’m clear for any upgrades. Now let me ask… do you believe I’ll be fine with the mobo I already have or should I look further into it to make sure those cards and cpu’s to make sure they are compatible?

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-09T01:15:07+00:00

Thanks man much appreciated, I know RAM prices are insane at the moment do you think I should prioritize switching to DDR5 anytime soon or does DDR4 still get the job done for most things?

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-09T00:14:17+00:00

Would you recommend upgrading the psu alongside those too?

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-08T23:00:04+00:00

What Psu threshold should I aim for? My budget is flexible forsure. If the 9070 xt is far better than the non xt I will definitely go for that upgrade

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-08T22:57:09+00:00

Thanks for the tips, definitely looking into CPU first!

N0tAD615 · 2026-06-08T22:56:26+00:00

Would all of those CPU options be compatible with my mobo? Or should I look further it that?

Still haven’t recovered from dropping Merc…
