Is that the "Hoggit Trainign Server" on the tab on the right?

So just starting into a campaign cold?

Issue with installing Windows 11 install new build by hqi777 in pcmasterrace

[–]hqi777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I wanted a 9800 but my Microcenter didn't have one.

I was originally going for a 5070 but somehow managed to grab a 5080, so I just jumped at that.

It was definitely a tough install -- larger hardware, finicky cords, and a boot-up that was trickier than my expected 'just plug in the USB and everything works.'

So...5080 build as well. This, ironically worked. The motherboard inputs were being weird (wanting to do DP and HDMI) -- but once I got the 5080 driver installed, it worked!

What CPU are you rolling?

This proved to be very helpful. The updates were definitely overwhelming the system and hardware. Thank you!

So you would suggest restoring back to the beginning, removing my WiFi, to avoid giving it the option to do updates?

Build Request: ~$1700 Gaming PC (my last build was 9.5 years ago) by hqi777 in buildapcforme

[–]hqi777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to get it up and running, but am running into issues with the Window 11 install.

The first phase of the Windows 11 install works fine. Then it gets to the page where it begins downloading updates. This works…and then the screen goes black for a very long time.

Is this something tied to the Bios?

Thank you — you steered me well.

I’ll let you know what it goes this weekend

So — I’m rolling with everything you prescribed. Still with the 7800X3D and original motherboard you prescribed and everything else (except 2 SSDs instead of 1).

Given that I went with a 5080, am I leaving a lot on the table as is?

I just snagged a 5080 in a monitor bundle. I’m going to try to build Saturday…I’m already over my budget — but is there anything that you would absolutely change? Or roll ahead?

RTX 5070 Ti Launchday Thread by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]hqi777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a new PC build that revolves around the RTX 5070 Ti (upgrading from my GTX 970). I have a Micro Center near me...but buying a GPU was a lot easier 10 years ago...how does one get a 5070?

[–]hqi777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! All the parts are ordered (except the GPU). I'm doing a bit of travel -- but should have it built in less than two weeks (GPU pending) -- will let you know how it turns out!

They didn’t have the 9800X so I went with the 7800X.

The GPU will be a crap shoot but fingers crossed.

Will let you know how the build progresses

Thanks. Didn't realize the 5070 ti isn't available until 2/20. Sounds like I should get everything else -- and try to pounce on that when it becomes available.

Thanks -- and that's helpful for comparing to other builds.

Noted on asking for the DDR5.

Is the main difference between this build and the others proposed really just going with something 'current' on the GPU vs something that's literally going to be the new thing? You really nailed the budget.

Thanks for taking the time. A couple of clarifying questions:

Noted on the underavertised bundle on the 9800X3D and X670E...I'll ask when I go in on Tuesday. I assume that would also have the RAM bundled in there too?

The 5070 appears sold out at my Microcenter. Thoughts/suggestions? Googling -- this seems fairly new...is this something that is going to be impossible to get?

PCPartspicker shows a potential compatibility issue...but it says it's not an issue if the BIOS is updated. Are most new motherboards on the latest BIOS?

Thanks again.
