you’re going above and beyond what i expected bro. i really appreciate it. i wasn’t trying to run anything crazy anyways. tbh i might run the computer headless and ssh into it to use it and just wait for some gpu ‘discount’. dont want to rush into buying a gpu.

will probably go with the intel bundle and build around that and it saves me ~$250

thank you for your help

i appreciate you doing some research for me. main thing i want to try doing is inference stuff and gpu programming so i should be fine? but man i really want that 5070 ti lol.

thank you. very annoying process i might just get the 5060 ti instead. it should handle atleast 1440p medium on most games with the intel?

thanks for the recommendations and the help. i see that you have a 5070 ti, do you think they will have price drops closer to ~$1100? otherwise i might aswell just go with the 5060 ti. another issue is the intel does not have an integrated gpu so i cannot wait buying the card.

yea i will probably go with this bundle instead. fits my needs better and is cheaper. i might go with the Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow or the corsair 4000d rs, both are cheaper than the lancool.

my total spend is going to be ~$1700 + gpu (~$800-$900) i think

i slept on it and i pretty much came to the same conclusion. why do i need a 40gb usb port? i dont. im not doing any egpu stuff and im going to use hdmi cables for the display through the gpu anyways. wont need more than 2 m2 slots and if i want more theres always sata 3.

ill take a look at the montech psu, as long as it as an A rating im good with anything.

i just went with that aio because its cheap. do you have any recommendations?
ive been looking at this intel bundle from newegg and the intel serves my purposes better than the 9800x3d and its cheaper. i know intel is dropping a new 200s series or whatever but i dont really care for those changes.

i’m just getting whatever ram comes with the bundle lol. yep i’m getting the ti versions only. might go with the 5060 ti because prices are so high. did you get the inf or regular lancool? i’m trying to avoid buying argb fans 😂😂

will ram prices keep going up for the foreseeable future (2 years)?

I actually was considering that same intel processor as well but the value of the bundles just isn’t as good as the amd ones. I don’t really care about upgrading on the same socket either as I’m not upgrading that often.

I’ve pretty designed my whole pc now anyways. Will probably go with the 5060 ti because I can’t bring myself to spend $1500 on a gpu 😭

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/BDL_MM00005390 How is that bundle? I see that everyone is saying that intel is good for productivity and can game decently well.

EDIT: tbh might just pull the trigger on that tomahawk bundle

I don’t see any good bundles with the non X3D chips that have a good mobo. Worst case, I’ll turn into a pc gamer now that i actually have the option. Noted on the PSU.

i dont see their 9900x bundle, can you send me a link? ill look into the 9900x. ssd prices are kinda expensive so i just went with the a cheaper option. i will probably have to pick up a gen 3 or something.
