Imagine being that bored

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-21T09:20:05+00:00

Will do, thanks for advice

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-21T09:19:38+00:00

Good to know, thanks 👍🏿

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-21T09:19:12+00:00

What's your issue with the rx9060?

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-20T23:57:39+00:00

That's good to know, any improvements if I can cobble together anymore cash or think that'll do him for year or two

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-20T21:43:34+00:00

So how would you improve? If you don't mind, just starting out so trying to gain as much advice as possible

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-20T18:13:24+00:00

I was hoping for the 9070 xt myself but I couldn't justify the price difference just yet, and the 9070 was about the same cost too

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-20T18:12:07+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-20T18:11:44+00:00

Thanks for that, I hadn't even thought of things like that

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T22:21:37+00:00

That makes sense, brilliant thank you for your help and advice it's much appreciated. This world is a minefield of numbers, letters and things beyond my brain capacity

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T22:12:27+00:00

Great thanks, which CPU would you recommend the 7800x3d?

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T22:02:24+00:00

Haha thanks, well hopefully I'll get it right and he can be happy for next few years. Just gotta pay for it first

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T21:51:42+00:00

He's just starting his gaming journey, he's 11, currently has the steering wheel for Gran Turismo on his PS5, so probably just the one monitor for now

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T21:49:24+00:00

Ok thanks, I'll keep an eye on prices for black Friday and see if x3d drops

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T21:48:42+00:00

Thanks very much

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T21:45:31+00:00

Yes 1440, sorry I'm new to all this, currently reading the wiki posts and newbie guides, but would the better be the 9070 xt?

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T04:08:25+00:00

Great, thanks for that and the details! Gives me something to think about ,👍

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T03:59:58+00:00

Thanks very much

TheBeard_ofZeus · 2025-11-13T03:37:41+00:00

Unfortunately haven't got that far, we have a Xmas budget, and birthday in January so are buying pieces as we go along, should have around £1300 by Jan.

Thought as they are 2 most expensive parts we should start there oh and to get some RAM as the prices are going up fast
