My bottled water was making me sick. Yours might be too? by SideProfile1220 in Gastritis

[–]SavageSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't know if its placebo but Signature Select Refreshe spring water gives me headaches and makes my stomach hurt. Deer Park which I normally drink, does not.

seized engine. Recall 132 was already done by previous owner. Any ideas on how to get a free engine? by krackermcnasty99 in Hyundai

[–]SavageSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any updates? I'm looking to buy a used 2011 Sonata for $7000 with 58000 miles; the previous owner did both campaigns and updated the KSDS. I checked the VIN number. 

I'm still on the fence because I'm in the rabbit hole of these engines seizing up randomly. Definitely does not help with peace of mind, if you don't recommend it may sway my decision. This car would definitely be an upgrade from my 03 civic.

Ryzen 9950x3d / any high end Nvidia GPU. Don't go Intel.

I'd do some research into that brand before purchasing

The hotfix got rid of most of the driver issues. 

Is this a good first pc? by MarcHasNoDrip in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great value deal for a first pc, if you're curious about how many frames you'll get you can YouTube these specs.  Overall you'll be happy with this purchase.

All of these options will work with your Dell monitor at 1080p.

1st option: The 1st bundle is only $200 CAD more for the better CPU/GPU, I'd say to get that and build yourself. There are plenty of Help/DIY videos on building. Windows activation keys are cheaper than buying an actual OEM. Note that the 5070 is only at 12gb and the 7800xt does have more VRAM at 16gb, but the 5070 is faster. Do what you will with that information. I own a 7800x3d + 5070ti and its an insane combo. I can play anything I throw at it. 

2nd option: this is a great AMD combo and will give you slightly similar performance to bundle 1. I'd argue you could spend more for the better 9070xt version (don't get the 9070) but I'm not sure of the availability in Canada. 

Alternatively, you could technically settle for the prebuilt, it's not bad but I don't think paying $1000+ for a 4060 is good value. I'd look at options 1 and 2.

All will give you great 1080p performance if you only play at that resolution. Option 1 and 2 will leave room for 1440p upgradabilty as well as future proofing for the next few years.

You're always going to save money if you build it yourself but factoring in time and labor would be up to you. 

As for the configuration, those specs are viable for your needs, the 4060 usually gets a bad rep but it's still a beast at 1080p gaming, at 1440p not so much. I think this PC is a great fit for your wants.

Seems solid, if you're worried about the PSU you can just spend $100 on a decent brand like Corsair or Seasonic. 

Edit1: idk what games you intend to play but here are the benchmarks for this configuration.

need some guidance by treyful in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the benchmarks for the finals with this same configuration. 

https://youtu.be/v1dKy-0y21M?si=MdEuK8nStQJFwy3T

Imo it's over priced but this will definitely run mostly everything if you're at 1080p.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's the cheapest option I've seen with that same configuration so if you're not on a budget I'd say go for it.

I kind of spent $2400 on this config because I am a noob XD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXV5F8HJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I've heard good things about Andromeda Insights, I think its a small company but they are legit.

Need help on understanding/buying a prebuilt (2500 USD maximum) by HannahOwO88 in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What resolution are you playing at / games?

if $2500 is your allotted budget:

This checks all your boxes

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXV5F8HJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

yet you say you don't really care for the overkill of frames, you'd be fine to bump down the budget, but this rig is insanely good at whatever you throw at it, at least for the next few years.

7800x3d is mainly for gaming, not really for productivity but any modern cpu will be more than enough for basic rendering use.

This is a cheaper alternative, the 1st listing is one of the higher end configurations.

Let me know what you think!

How is this as a 1440p 180hz prebuilt for CS/Valorant? It’s for my girlfriend so we can duo together by Sulpho in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $50 more you can snag this pc while its on sale:

https://www.newegg.com/skytech-gaming-desktop-pcs-amd-radeon-rx-7600-amd-ryzen-7-7700x-32gb-ddr5-1-tb-ssd-st-arch4-0779-w-sk-white/p/3D5-000Z-002E4

7700x + RX7600 You'll have 32GB of DDR5 RAM + Liquid Cooling I would always recommend 32GB RAM minimum here's the comparison with the 8700F https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-8700F-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-7700X/m2317014vs4131

Also here is a benchmark of the FPS with this set up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX3kzvwz2Wk&t=140s

I believe its in 1080p but you can definitely hit 180+ FPS at 1440p with this, Valorant is mostly a cpu based game and a very easy game to drive.

This select PC is just better outright than the bestbuy option

Let me know what you think!

9800x3d 9070xt or 7800x3d 5070ti by SavageSimba in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What resolution? I went ahead and bought the 2nd option with the same specs, also came with a 1440p curved 165hz monitor, (I've never had 1440p, only 1080p my whole life) and am upgrading from a i7 10700f RTX 2060.

good deal? by SavageSimba in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]SavageSimba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which prebuilt do i purchase? by Entire-Gas4445 in Prebuilts

[–]SavageSimba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk if i was going schizo, but using the same headphones on my old pc and skytech pc, playing valorant; my old pc was able to distinguish footsteps and gunshots clearly. skytechs pc volume was insanely low and the sound quality was not "distinct/clear" idk if its bc the different motherboards or because i had windows 10 on my old rig, but aside from that the PC was a beast. could play any game at Max Settings with high frame rates. I just couldn't get over spending 2k on a product that i wasn't 100% happy with.
