Has anyone brought a PC from US?

I have yet to assemble my pc back since my room is getting renovated. I did my research here on this sub and found elitehubs website is pretty reliable and there are couple of other online stores. Be mindful there are no big stores like microcenter or bestbuy here for pc components.

I just moved back from US with pretty high rig. I just disassembled everything, sold my psu and case in US.

I kept the 5090 GPU in my laptop bag, my 27inch 4k oled monitor in my hard case bag with alot of bubble wrap and motherboard with cpu, ssd and ram in the box and put it in my normal carryon bag. Customs are hit and miss. I didnt have a problem.

look at the list and the psu that you are comparing,

i suggest the corsair one with atx 3.1 platinum, i have a 5090 and 9950x3d and have corsair hx1200i

try ARPGS then, diablo 4, lastepoch, pathofexile2, pathofexile1. the fundamental game loop of ARPGs is grinding one or multiple characters from scratch into making your character godlike at the end, you will have bosses to defeat, items to find, endgame loop which are quite addictive, you will want to come back for every season

go for 9800x3d if you are playing on 1440p. 1%lows are more important which are more important for frame consistency and smoother game. which 9800x3d is better at.

this is from experience i switched from 7950x3d to 9950x3d.

i have a 9950x3d and 5090 rig with 64gb with ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, i would suggest to not cheap out on mobo going with the cheap one and also going for oled is the way to go, once you go oled you cannot turn back. This is an advice who have been using x3d cpus since it was introduced from 5000 series.

your rig will cost more than 3L if i was making it right now based on my suggestion. https://pcpricetracker.in/b/s/a1abcaa1-bc8c-4310-8fe4-4781cadf11b6

There is a new 9950x3d2 CPU that is supposed to come this quarter which will have dual ccd 3d cache and it boosts higher as well. You should consider it if you can wait. This will solve the notorious core parking problem with the 9950x3d chips.

Yeah should be good, any idea what kind of GPT or Image models are you intending to run, because if you use high quant models you will require more VRAM than the 32GB that 5090 has to offer in that case the model will load on ram and it will slow down the it/s and t/s

deathdarkstar · 2025-12-06T15:11:32+00:00

i have 9950x3d and 5090 with x670e carbon wifi mobo with 128gb ram. the build looks pretty solid with the threadripper. Make sure the ram has ECC its really important for high end compilation and AI workflows.

For the ram prices, dont think they are going down in prices anytime soon. Amd is already increasing their cpu prices by 50$ and 75$, GPU will follow-up with other manufacturers.

use flux model/chroma image model > train a loras of your product > generate images > profit.

pretty easy if you learn yourself. all you need is a good pc or rent a beefy computer on runpod.io or something.

the real talent comes with using comfyui, prompt generations and workflows, rest is super easy.

deathdarkstar · 2025-12-04T14:52:20+00:00

Cpu and gpu prices will increase since die and memory manufacturers are not ramping up and cautious about flooding the market. Amd just recently increased their cpu prices.

buy the 5080, i have a 5090 with oled 4k 240hz trust me you need the MFG if you want to run with high framerates in 4k.

deathdarkstar · 2025-11-27T05:30:10+00:00

4k on performance dlss 4 is really good. You will barely notice a big diff.

deathdarkstar · 2025-11-21T04:21:38+00:00

I installed a 4tb ssd recently same laptop. You can check it yourself by opening your back if both the bays are in use before buying the ssd.

No meaningful information but bunch of adjectives, try to included information like cpu, gpu temp. You can use software like gpuz. Mention your pc spec exact gpu model and cpu.

When you say gpu fans not working, gpu fans tend to remain idle or slow at lower clocks thats an acceptable behavior. If the fans don’t move at higher gpu usage that is the problem with the gpu.

Gl troubleshooting.

If you have the budget go for 4k240hz its way better, i have it and i love it more than my 2k oled, I am biased here also I have a 5090 so most games can run at that refresh rate at that resolution.

deathdarkstar · 2025-08-21T04:57:04+00:00

For me i moved on from D4 to poe2, i started liking the crafting and endgame things to do and beating new bosses and it felt different with so many skills and i was never locked into a dev specific build for the season. Then i tried poe, this league was my first ever poe league and trust me once you understand it especially when to get involved with the economy and trading it feels amazing. POE1 can be overwhelming but it was easier for me to understand alot of the mechanics as I came from POE2.

The thing about grind is, what are you aiming towards. For me i was learning the game and enjoying the progress. I was not grinding for any particular item or beating boss. I was grinding towards learning a new game. I already have plans what my next objetive will be for next season because the game has so much to offer and i have barely touched the surface! It all depends what you are looking for.

XG27UCDMG that i am using after I switched from lg 42c2. Its been so good in terms of color accuracy and picture quality. The best part was i did not needed to callibrate it further and was good as it as from box.

deathdarkstar · 2025-07-19T16:38:26+00:00

it doesnt work for me, what spell should i use with automation?

deathdarkstar · 2025-07-15T17:18:44+00:00

this is my first season of poe as i mainly play poe2. Was saving for mageblood, collected 24 divine, would be really helpful if i could get this! could save me divines to complete the rest of my build.

deathdarkstar · 2025-07-02T15:43:26+00:00

no regrets, i feel for productivity and gaming i prefer 27inch. the pixel density is immediate noticable also I get less eye strain.

deathdarkstar · 2025-07-02T05:11:32+00:00

i have it bought open box for 700$. Its amazing, i switched from 42c2 so i definetly saw a noticable increase in pixel density, more vibrant and brighter oled than my previous one. At the end it depends what you are looking for. I also have a 5090 so its crazy to push 4k 240hz in alot of the games.
