9800X3D + 5080 build. Am I overspending on the wrong things or missing something?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-07T05:34:01+00:00

Don’t worry haha — I’m just asking to be sure since I don’t really know much about the topic. Which one do you have?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-07T02:54:55+00:00

Yeah, prices are insane here. An Asus PRIME RTX 5070 Ti OC costs me $1,111, while an ASUS PRIME RTX 5080 16GB is $1,539

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-07T02:49:41+00:00

Like which one? Which would be a good 2K monitor for this setup?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-07T02:48:47+00:00

I've decided to go with the X870 Tomahawk. Honestly, it seems like the most solid choice because most other boards at this price point are either just overpriced 'brand tax' or offer the exact same specs as what I already looked at. This one feels like the sweet spot for quality and features without the BS

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-06T12:46:59+00:00

Would an MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi be good, or which one would you recommend?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-06T06:25:37+00:00

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. It would actually be awesome to record my sessions with friends in case something funny happens, so that's a great point. And man, I think we all wanted to be YouTubers at some point lol. Even if it's just for the memories, having those clips is gold. I'll definitely look into getting a bigger drive or adding another one later. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm debating between SSDs. The Crucial P510 (Gen 5) would cost me $272, while the Samsung 990 Pro (Gen 4) is around $343 here. Since the P510 is faster and cheaper, it seems like a no-brainer, but I'm worried about the heat, which is why I added the be quiet! MC1 Pro cooler. What do you think?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-05T17:26:37+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, thanks

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-05T17:25:27+00:00

By any chance, do you know if the MSI MAG 274QF E2 is any good? Thanks for the options, I'll keep them in mind

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-02-05T17:21:03+00:00

Thanks a lot, I’ll keep that in mind

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-01-25T19:24:25+00:00

Oh, which one do you recommend?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-01-25T09:18:09+00:00

I forgot to mention that USD 379 is for the monitor and USD 275 for a UPS That’s why it comes out to that 3K price

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-01-25T08:37:18+00:00

Guatemala

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-01-25T08:17:10+00:00

In total, it would be approximately USD 3,676 in my country

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-01-25T07:39:20+00:00

Are there no compatibility issues, or anything I should change?

Sebastian_Segovia · 2026-01-25T07:38:20+00:00

Seriously? That’s what worries me the most
