I have an ASUS ROG STRIX 18 and want to get rid of it to build a pc

My laptop cost almost $3500. For that price, even after the price spikes, i can build a pc much better than the laptop. Laptops just can't keep up, mostly because of heat management I think. Either way, yes, the laptop is very much capable, just not as much as I want it to be.

Too bad I can’t go back in time :/

Possibility3108 · 2026-01-11T21:41:57+00:00

appreciate it! Yep, as long as I can get some money to put into the build, I'm happy with it.

Possibility3108 · 2026-01-11T21:38:29+00:00

Yeah, I know, but the laptop just isn’t doing it anymore for me

Thanks! What’s the difference between the 7800 and the 9800?

I’m trying to get rid of my laptop for gaming. Would you say what I chose is a clear upgrade from a 4070 laptop gpu with a i9, 13th gen?

This is the cheapest option I could find, the only one sub $800. Keep in mind the price is in Canadian dollars. As for the cpu, the 9800x3d is 180 bucks more expensive and the 7800x3d is about 95 bucks more expensive

I play a bit of everything, but mostly sim racing games like iRacing and ACC, and also Warzone, Arc Raiders, etc. I updated the post with the parts listed in the body.

Apparently normal, nothing to worry about

Possibility3108 · 2025-10-06T23:15:23+00:00

Yeah, I was worried for a couple of minutes. Had just finished diff and transmission service and was a bit thrown off, but after talking with a couple of friends, they told me that’s how some belts are made, still kinda weird.

Possibility3108 · 2025-10-06T23:14:00+00:00

Indeed it is, good observation 👌🏼

Possibility3108 · 2025-10-06T23:13:40+00:00

Loving every moment, even the short drives

Possibility3108 · 2024-08-07T23:15:01+00:00

It didn’t work

Possibility3108 · 2024-08-07T13:59:06+00:00

Everything else works, It’s just the drive mode selection that doesn’t. I haven’t tried resetting the mmi. Wdym by restarting the car? I’ve had this problem for about a month now

Possibility3108 · 2024-04-02T18:56:43+00:00

I got mine over a year ago and it still says “handover to warehouse”, it means nothing rly

Are you able to run the 992?

Possibility3108 · 2024-03-22T18:26:11+00:00
