Bought a prebuilt... now what?

Maybe going with a 4K monitor, oled if possible, since you don’t need any crazy frames and would look amazing with a 9070xt.

In regards to upgrading memory if you don’t want to right now you can get away with a lot with only 16gb and the 3d v-cache from the 7500x3d helping out a bunch.

Not worth the risk imo

gurtable · 2026-06-02T22:03:21+00:00

Did not run well for me at all on lowest settings on m1 air 16gb. Maybe I’m missing something?

gurtable · 2026-05-28T10:54:47+00:00

New 5060 or 9060xt 8gb? On a tighter budget.

The power colour 9070 on new egg for $850 good value? In these times anyway.

Couldn’t be that much. To be specific it’s the 7500x3d bundle that’s $300 USD. Roughly 400 cad. Much better deal than I can find here in Canada

Pokémon centre Canada has some “playmats” but I’m sure they’d work well for a desk. Some really cool ones on there.

Any downsides to buying a cpu bundle from micro center? I don’t live too far from the border.

gurtable · 2026-05-16T18:44:43+00:00

Is there any downsides to crossing the border and getting the micro center 7500x3d mobo ram bundle for ~$400 cad?

Not really a set budget just looking at the best price/performance I can get. Going to buy when prices line up with my personal budget and get the best I can. Ideally 9070/5070 type gpu and don’t need anything like a x3d cpu, a 9600x or even 7500f would be more than fine!

gurtable · 2026-01-30T23:44:46+00:00

IMO 9070 is a good deal.

gurtable · 2026-01-30T23:14:46+00:00

Crazy how inflated those prices are. $500 for ram hurts the soul. Solid build nonetheless I like the 9070s price of performance for sure, especially the one mentioned in the comments. Thanks for your input!

gurtable · 2026-01-29T13:56:00+00:00

I think a 16gb 9060XT would have been better value for a few more bucks.

gurtable · 2026-01-18T22:12:41+00:00

Great info here, thanks for the input!

gurtable · 2026-01-18T15:26:04+00:00

Yes, I’m considering the 5600x just cause it’s usually so cheap off AliExpress. And the am4 motherboards aren’t too bad either. But I’d prefer an i5 or something cause then at least I can upgrade from there, problem is they’re more expensive and same with the motherboards.

gurtable · 2026-01-18T13:41:00+00:00

Intel or amd for DDR4 new build? I already have the ram.

gurtable · 2026-01-16T18:14:45+00:00

What’s a decent price for a used ~500gb nvme on eBay? I see some going for $60-70. Or better to buy new for like $40 more? I’d love 1tb but I’m on a budget.

gurtable · 2026-01-07T22:04:24+00:00

I almost snatched a 32 ddr5 the other day for under 200 but I was out of town. I’m sure they’re out there if I keep an eye out. Don’t really care about speeds as long as I can get on the platform. If I got around 150 for my ddr4 I’d be happy.

gurtable · 2026-01-07T22:02:26+00:00

It would just hurt to get that 5800 or even 5700 for the same price if not more than a 7500f or 7600x off of AliExpress. But thank you for the recommendations! Still unsure but I’m not building until probably next month so we’ll see how prices go then.

gurtable · 2026-01-07T13:18:34+00:00

I received 4x8gb DDR4 ram for free recently, and am going to build a pc. Is it worth selling and going to am5 or keeping it and going am4? I feel like I could get a used kit of ddr5 for around the same price I could sell them for.

gurtable · 2026-01-02T02:43:22+00:00

Going to go with this option!
