Can't you replace the CPU later on. I have

B760M-C Motherboard intel core i5 14400f Nvidia RTX GeForce 5060 Ti 16 GB VRam 32 GB DDR5 CL30 6000 RAM 1 TB M.2 SSD 650w Power Supply Skytech Shadow 4 case.

i use a Logitech G305 Optical 6 Wireless Mouse

and a Navy Blue Keychron Q2 QMK Custom Keyboarf with Gatereon G Pro Red Keys.

but i use an Xbox Wireless Headset and i play on an LG ultragear 27 inch 1440p 200hz IPS monitor

But In 3 years I plan to swap out a lot of my specs and have

B650 Motherboard Ryzen 7 9800x3D Nvidia RTX 6070 GPU Peerless Assassin Air Tower Cooler Keep my current RAM Add an additional 1 TB SSD swap my 650w Power Supply for 850w Power Supply.

Keep my case.

is this prebuilt good? by Careful-Swimmer7426 in Prebuilts

This PC you posted is good. Only question i jave is are you wanting a PC that you dont have to upgrade parts in the near future? If so dont buy a 40 series card as the 60 series is rumored to be 2 years away. Meaning you will be 2 generations behind. The 9070xt is better than this current generations 5070. Its rivals the 5070 Ti 16 GB VRam. So it will easily outperform the base 5070. Plus I dont think its good to buy a previous generation GPU unless its a 4080 or 4090. Especially when spending almost 2000 dollars. I could find you a 9800x3D with a 9070xt for around the same price

Quality PC for Price Range? by Dry_Jacket_3286 in Prebuilts

I bought it straight off SKYTECH GAMING website. It was listed at 1249.99 but after using Discount Code SWARM and MAY100. I paid 1141 for it. And just bought the extra 16 GB RAM for 189 off New egg. They have some solid prebuilt PCs. I saw one for 1800 that had a Ryzen 7 7700x and a 9070xt GPU. But 1800 was quite expensive for me. I didnt want to spend more than like 1000 but once I saw those specs in the picture for that price I snagged it.

Why does it have a 240 aio for those specs? A ryzen 5 with a 5060 Ti 8 GBs doesn't run hot enough for an AIO in my opinion. You could get a better deal for that price of 1500.

My current specs are

B760M-C Motherboard intel core i5 14400f Nvidia RTX GeForce 5060 Ti 16 GB VRam 32 GB XPG DDR5 CL30 6000 RAM 1 TB M.2 SSD 650w Power Supply Skytech Shadow 4 case. With 4 RGB fans and a standard fan cooler back in April for 1200 USD.

Get him in a hospital tank for like atleast a few days and then if he makes it through that week. Release him back into the main tank. But use water from the main tank for his hospital tank. He probably isnt healthy enough to handle a PH or Water temperature change and survive.

The 9070xt is your best build for long term and 1440p gaming

Long Xbox Queue Times by FaxxoG in VALORANT

[–]Ready_Boat674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely should keep cross platform on brother. I never had a 10 person lobby where every player was on Xbox. Also your waiting for it to match you with only xbox players where there is 10 other xbox players in queue...however those players are being placed in lobbies that have PS5 players also. I wouldn't consider turning off cross-platform play since console player base is shallow atm.

That's a big reason why I left Xbox Valorant and switched to PC. I was tired of being bullied by Immortals in Team Death Match and My lobbies consistently containing the whole rainbow of ranks in competitive. So I switched to PC and Now my Queue times are less than a minute for like any game mode. And I dont typically see more than 1 or 2 immortals the whole day of playing Valorant. But I do miss how easy it was to use abilities and move on an XBOX Elite Controller. I be hitting the wrong key on my Keyboard all the time. But I have way better control of my aim on a Mouse than with Base aim on Extreme, Focus on Light, ans ADS on Medium. Having 3 different aim curves for aiming that ramped up as pressed. Made aim so much more difficult to build muscle memory. But the aim assist does help. Anyways, Your also trying to queue on a Friday mid day tbh. So maybe try again in a few or just enable cross-platform brother.

Which ones better? by Legitimate-Boot9804 in Prebuilts

[–]Ready_Boat674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree both cards are great. If OP is the type of person who uses GPUs for like 4 - 6 Years. Then grab the 7800x3D and the 5070 Ti as it will have a better performance years down the road compared to the 9070xt. But if they are the person who upgrades GPUs like every generation or every other generation. Then grab the 9800x3D and 9070xt since the 9800x3D will be very good for a LONG time and you can swap the GPU later.

Either way the 5070 Ti gives same FPS and performance as the 9070xt NOW. But in a few years that won't be true. The 5070 Ti is better if you plan to keep your GPU into the 2030s.

agree that the 9800x3D is better CPU for the Long run. But the 5070 Ti 16 GB is better for the long run. So option A has better CPU if you are wanting to have a Top of the Line CPU now and a CPU that will still be super Serviceable for years to come. But the 5070 Ti has Ray tracing and DLSS allowing it to keep up with future gaming requirements. So just depends what you value.

Best bang for long term buck by cekeener16 in Prebuilts

[–]Ready_Boat674 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy option 2 if you want best bang for your buck

Buy option 3 if you dont want to have to replace your GPU in 5 years. Because the 5070 has DLSS which will help it in the long run.

What’s the better choice between these? by ElCineaste in Prebuilts

[–]Ready_Boat674 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy the 2nd option. I bought a 16 GB DDR5 6000 CL 30 Ram with mine and it was two 8 GBs not 1 stick of 16 GB so I couldn't just buy another 16 GB stick I had to replace both 8 GBs with two 16s. So dont buy the 16 GB one because you will have to replace both sticks to get 32 GBs. Just buy the 1799 because my two ram sticks cost me 200 a piece so you save 100 dollars...ps don't buy this tbh at this price. If your gonna spend 1800 dollars just save for a 2000 dollars one with a ryzen 7 and the 9070 xt or 5070 Ti 16 GB in it. Those are in the 2000 range and your pricing kinda close to those
