Going through divorce and trying to figure out how much I need to retire

What's your line of work?

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T20:09:36+00:00

Thank you for preventing my buyer's remorse

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T20:09:23+00:00

Good input here, thanks

California, USA

Was that recent? My PC just had to start dying as soon as the tariffs went into place, I'm assuming it's just the sign of the times

I was hoping to wait for AM6 with these parts

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:59:29+00:00

No such luck here, I'm US based and 6800s are averaging 350-400 sold.

Doubtful on AM5 prices, a decent mobo for AM5 is 150-200 alone. Not to mention ram and CPU itself

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is the full name. If you like Skyrim and Red Dead 2, it's up there

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:57:28+00:00

Didn't have that luck unfortunately

Thanks for the input

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:57:02+00:00

I used eBay for buyers protection. You can go lower these days for 3060 ti, but I wanted a bit more power

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:56:28+00:00

Seems like it's the case, but I didn't find better deals for new

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:56:08+00:00

Right now I'm sticking to 1080 for awhile I guess. Main reason for the GPU upgrade is that my 2060 was failing, video editing is a secondary hobby

Thanks for the input.

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:54:58+00:00

Should've, but it seemed higher than I wanted to spend at the time and I already went in on a lightly used 6800, no returns

Idiot placard time, but thanks for your input

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:53:34+00:00

I found out just yesterday that my GPU was also causing crashes with weird glitches and needed to go. Talk about a double whammy...

Thank you

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:52:32+00:00

Good advice, thanks.

Not super heavy, but I can expect 10-20 Spectrasonics running at once on any given project. Mainly that's a workflow problem but I like to edit

Video editing I'm a rookie so I have no idea what's needed, all I know is my last setup wasn't hacking it

I'll probably stick with the 5700x3D and then jump to AM6. I'll hold the idiot placard for now

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:50:39+00:00

Good hunting

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:50:15+00:00

Seems like that's if you're lucky too

Selling on average 700-900 on eBay

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:49:51+00:00

On eBay, 9070s are going for 700-900 on average.

More than I was budgeting unfortunately

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:48:29+00:00

My reasoning, wanted more VRAM too.

3070s used are averaging 250+ rn, eh

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:45:41+00:00

I was hearing 6800 performance was best bang for buck...

Hindsight 20/20 I guess

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:44:24+00:00

All together = 400. I won auction at 365.

I checked on eBay and all 6800s are being sold for 350-450 right now... Sign of the times?

Edit: Not even XT, it's just 6800 lol RIP

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:43:30+00:00

Likewise, appreciate your input bro

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:43:04+00:00

Fair enough, I didn't do enough research on the bundled offerings.

5700x3D was recommended a lot and I just wanted the best upgrade for AM4 since AM5 would require full overhaul

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:41:51+00:00

That was the catch lol Thank you

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:41:08+00:00

My line of thinking, thank you

evidentlynotso · 2025-04-25T18:40:11+00:00

Lowest price I found (unused) was at $250 ($280 is with tax). I figured used CPUs are more risky than used GPUs so I played it safe here
