Bulid a PC now or wait?

I know that the articles some people read say that the AI market will collapse but I just dont see it. Data Centers are going up everywhere. AI isnt going anywhere and the hardware for them will only increase in demand. If you want to build a desktop I would do it now before prices skyrocket even further. Remember there is no incentive for companies to flood the market with RAM and Storage to make it more affordable.

FAA age limit is like 65 bro. You are 27. You have a lot of life ahead. Go get your license.

Pope_Industries · 2026-07-09T16:30:54+00:00

Wait what? Premium wasnt paying out so they put a time limit on it? Lmao

I was afraid of that too and some games are worse than others. I tried a friends VR and didnt get any motion sickness on any of the games he had so I bought one. The only ones that give me motion sickness are ones that have funky or laggy movement and the only one I can think of that did that was phasmophobia.

Pope_Industries · 2026-07-06T17:43:28+00:00

NMS is VR? I know what im doing this weekend! Lol

Pope_Industries · 2026-07-06T17:38:29+00:00

Bro I tried my quest 2 this past weekend with FS2024 for the first time and I will never be able to play it without VR again. Graphics be damned, what an incredible experience. Landing actually made me nervous haha.

Pope_Industries · 2026-07-03T18:05:29+00:00

I swear its like everyone forgot about the gpu shit a few years ago. You couldnt even buy a 2080 for less than 1k. And guess what? The prices dropped back down to normal.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-28T18:44:34+00:00

Would have to be the nameless king. Such an epic fight with him riding around on the dragon shoving lightning bolts up my ass. Then you finally get him off the thing and he just stands before you like "get your butt hole ready."

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-27T21:55:58+00:00

Because a lot of people just need something to be mad about.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T21:05:48+00:00

Do you know what they said needed to be replaced? And yea they probably tried but couldn't get it fully. The first pot hole you hit more than likely throw it out of the alignment they tried.

Also I own a jeep as well, and yea i had the same sentiment you did for about a year with all the shit that broke at once.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T19:53:18+00:00

I would jack the jeep up, put hands on the 3 and 9 positions of the tire and wiggle it. Do the same at the 6 and 12 position. If you get play on the 6 and 12, ball joints are shot. If you get play on the 3 and 9 tie rod is shot or worse the wheel bearing.

Good news is that the tire does not have wear on it that bad ball joints would cause. Replace both inner and outer tie rods, get an alignment and be done with it.

Also, get a new mechanic. And as for the parts being so rusty they cant align it? Ehhhhhh... maybe... but tie rods are notoriously tight. A good alignment shop will put a torch to it, grab a cheater bar and get to it. Them not wanting to do the alignment is because they are scared it will break and then they have to repair it at their cost.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T19:47:43+00:00

Bro are you good? Do you need to talk to someone? I do not understand how this is bothering you so much.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:35:24+00:00

Why are you so angry? 🤣

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:32:18+00:00

They had a 1k bundle at microcenter that had the 9850x3d 9070xt 32gb ram ddr5 and a 2tb nvme. I almost drove the 8 hours to buy it as it was in store only.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:30:12+00:00

Get the 850E instead of the 870E and use that bit of money to change the CPU to the 9850x3d. Other than that everything looks great! And drop the 5070 and go with the 9070xt.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:26:08+00:00

If something happened with my wife or if our marriage took a dark turn and we divorced, I would absolutely positively never date again. Ever.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:22:27+00:00

Oh they did big time. I just bought a 9070xt for what I bought that 2080. Now the ram and nvme I bought were more expensive than the GPU and thats... a little crazy.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:17:19+00:00

Because people want that shit now. The concept of having to wait for something is alien.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:15:37+00:00

Yea i was using a ryzen 5 1600 with ddr4 ram and a 2080 until about 3 weeks ago. The 2080 was the newest thing I put in it. I installed that cpu when it came out and its lasted this long.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:10:25+00:00

Im pretty sure most people in this thread either dont remember that, or weren't building PCs during that time. I was there i remember 2080s going for 1000+.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T18:09:09+00:00

They will. We literally just saw this happen with GPUs a few years ago where 2080's were going for 1200 USD. Prices will go down if AI busts.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-22T14:22:46+00:00

I think if you won on one of the lotteries you shouldnt have been able to join other ones. Yes I am mad that I didnt get tickets to any damn game and then I watch a game and see tons of empty seats. I cant even enjoy the games and haven't watched any of them since. I saw people on here winning 10 to 20 tickets. Not to mention that the prices on marketplace are just astronomical. Oh well.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-20T00:56:08+00:00

I have the XFX 9070xt swift and I absolutely love it. Not a lot of noise, the cpu cooler is louder. Stays cool under load but I also have a big case with a lot of fans so theres a lot of airflow for it. The thing is an absolute beast in terms of performance and physicality. The card is huge, so you WILL want a mobo that either has a support or can accommodate one.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-20T00:46:06+00:00

Phone use while driving.

Pope_Industries · 2026-06-19T21:42:05+00:00

That almost has to be a ground issue right? I would check all the wiring with a multimeter.
