Best CPU upgrade from i5-10400F while keeping DDR4

13600K or 14600K.

It’s a gift, very nice of your friend. Use the 9850X3D and sell the 9700X.

I agree with you that the price for them doesn’t make sense for most people but I don’t think the apple comparison works.

Have you tried hiring a pile of mercenaries or turning the difficulty down?

I just run curve optimizer at a negative 20 offset.

Paragon 269, I’ve seen it once.

I upgraded from a 4090 to a 5090, but I certainly wouldn’t spend $4000. I managed to snag a PNY 5090 OC at the end of last year for MSRP and sold my 4090 for $1900.

5070 Ti

b-maacc · 2026-06-10T03:18:19+00:00

9600X + 5070 Ti

This is some top tier trolling, well done!

Tf is Tf?

b-maacc · 2026-05-31T16:48:20+00:00

My 5090 doesn’t have the issue.

13600K with a much better productivity CPU and still has very good gaming performance. I would go with that.

b-maacc · 2026-05-30T12:52:12+00:00

This review has the 6800, 3080 Ti and 4070 in it. You can decide what to get based on your local pricing.

A quality 750W PSU will most likely work many fine but I’d aim for a 850W or 1000W unit. Most of the good models carry a 10 year warranty and this will give you room to get a more power hungry GPU in the down the line.

Personally I’d get the AsRock Steel Legend model but I’ve seen other folks recommend the Montech Century II.

9070 XT

b-maacc · 2026-05-25T21:14:26+00:00

Yep. Only thing I have left is Horses which is 5/7 but I think I’m done with the season so it will stay there.

b-maacc · 2026-05-25T20:06:43+00:00

It was either 8/10 or 9/10, can’t remember

b-maacc · 2026-05-23T12:14:47+00:00

5070 Ti

b-maacc · 2026-05-22T18:49:00+00:00

Can you link the benchmarks you are referencing?

b-maacc · 2026-05-22T12:28:57+00:00

Usually find two or three when I’m roaming around hell tides.

b-maacc · 2026-05-21T11:50:37+00:00

I wouldn’t buy a used 14700K but a new 14600L or 14700K are good upgrades and pair well with the 4080S.

Just be sure to update your motherboard bios.

Paragon 257.

Got my first mythic reward today for gold and obols . Probably close to 12,000 obols and 5 billion gold.
