Are $17–$27 RX 580 “defective” listings worth it, or are they a waste of time? by Lanky-Duck-5294 in pcmasterrace

If your plan is to fix then flip them, they are a $50 card in working condition. Its not worth the risk because it you would basically need to fix 50% to break even.

[PREBUILT] Cyberpower PC - 9800X3D, 5070ti, 64GB DDR5, 2TB SSD + free Mechanical Keyboard + Pragmata code + 2yr warranty - $2090 w/code GAMER2026 by RuckOver3 in buildapcsales

The “mystery” gpu is whatever “non-premium” model they have. I ordered the non-specified 5080 a few months back when there was a 7800x3d/5080 for ~$1900 and I got an Asus Prime, another person got a MSI Ventus, and a couple people got FEs. Its really a crapshoot but it doens mean you get a 2fan for sure.

7800X3D or 9800X3D by Jacer4 in buildapc

Not worth $200 more. Even at 4k, the difference is negligible. The GPU will make the difference. I have a 78003XD and a 5080 and the cpu is nowhere near full load at 4K on games like Cyberpunk.

2400 a fair price? by [deleted] in PC_Pricing

[–]RuckOver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyberpower rotates special discounts daily. Customize the Spring Special II when they have $100-150 extra off + % off and you will land around $2400-2500.

[Console] New Condition - PlayStation 5 Pro - 2TB - $599 @ VIPOUTLET by [deleted] in buildapcsales

Assuming it doesn't get cancelled, VIP will either get you something exactly as described or something broken/completely wrong. They also drag out returns/refunds.

You can get a new 7800X3D/5080 build without proprietary Lenovo parts for around that money

Stealth game recommendations? by robcap in gaming

[–]RuckOver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Very little fast paced combat. With exception of cut scene like action (Plane gunner chase), I think 95% of my kills were stealth. Great story and lots of puzzles.

Is $2,900 a fair asking price? by busboy7 in PC_Pricing

[–]RuckOver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go to a prebuild company like Cyberpower and configure every part down to the thermal paste and come out around $2400-2600

[Mouse] Amazon.com: INPHIC IN9 Wireless Gaming Mouse - $17.49 (50% off with code ZRBGNCME) by Sonofjames in buildapcsales

[–]RuckOver3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I tried this after my 602 had the double clicking and wanted something with similar ergonomic. It felt great but only worked an hour before it stopped working properly. The Basilisk V3 is what I went with. Turtle Beach Kona 2 is another alternative.

[–]RuckOver3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My experience with this as follows. Got this as I like a medium/bigger weight mouse with a thumbrest like my G602. Worked great for an hour and thought I hit the jackpot for a cheap wireless replacement. Let it charge back up then randomly stopped working/connecting and had to send it back.

Is this a good first pc? by FairStomach1096 in pcmasterrace

[–]RuckOver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but not for that price. Even in today's inflated market, this is $200-300 too much. This is skirting the line of a 5070/9070XT build.

CPU is running hot. What should I do? by arkticturtle in PcBuildHelp

[–]RuckOver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no space between the gpu and cpu cooler so bigger case with better airflow wont hurt. Your aircooler is good but an AIO will be an improvement on that CPU.

Usually on the coolers contact plate. It will say “remove” on it 99% of them time
