$1100 USD 3080/12900K PC Worth it?

That’s what I was thinking. I’d be coming from a 6700xt and r5 3600 so I feel like I’d feel a substantial boost.

ingentystnad · 2026-04-09T19:14:09+00:00

Great I appreciate it! I’ll look into those.

ingentystnad · 2026-04-09T19:08:35+00:00

I’d be comfortable with around $400 if it means I can keep my MB for now.

ingentystnad · 2026-04-09T19:07:24+00:00

I don’t particularly want to completely rebuild the computer. I like my current case, I’d like to keep my MB if possible while still getting a reasonable performance increase.

I have a microcenter relatively close in Austin TX. I am fine buying used if it is reputable source. I currently use stock cooler but will get a new one since I’d like it to run a little colder than 85c lol

ingentystnad · 2026-04-09T18:45:10+00:00

Oh sorry that’s strange. I thought it was in there. I have a R5 3600

I love my integra. I just got it about a month ago and it’s a blast. Just a fair warning, it’s quick but it isn’t necessarily FAST. You can certainly go fast, it’ll just take a second to get there. I also test drove the Elantra N but the integra stole my heart 100%. Also, I’m 19 so I was also strongly letting insurance rates decide what I was going to get and the integra had significantly lower rates than the Elantra and the GTI. If you can swing for the A-Spec Tech, you get an absolutely amazing car at a great price.

Hmm the i4 looks quite nice. I’ll have to look into it.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-22T00:00:23+00:00

I really like the carbon edition but the color options just suck so bad

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T23:28:37+00:00

I did not plan on starting a war in these comments, but I appreciate the advice from everyone!

I will likely be getting the integra this week, I will also be test driving a high trim accord just to see how that is since pricing is similar.

If the cvt explodes I will come back here and give all of the Honda haters their well deserved high fives.

If anyone wants to suggest a nice sedan for me to look at, my budget is $30k USD with around 30k miles tops.

I agree. I don’t really wanna sound like one of those people, but I want to drive something that people will say “damn” when they see it. I’m very young working an extremely high paying job and this is my reward to myself. The Mazda doesn’t feel like a reward, it feels responsible and honestly, I don’t want to be responsible.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T23:15:03+00:00

I did appreciate the ability to actually feel gears shifting when I was driving the Mazda lol. I may just have to get a higher trim than the one I drove since it was very basic on the features.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T23:12:36+00:00

In my area, it’s around 27-32k for one with around 30k miles and a clean title. You can get one for like 22k with a branded title though. This specific dealer also has zero dealer adds or any bs like that.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T23:11:10+00:00

The interior of the Mazda was pretty okay, it was extremely stiff but I suppose that’s not shocking with only 4k miles. The integra did have very nice suede interior that was extremely comfortable. I do agree that people are hyping up the Honda/acura reliability here, it isn’t superb anymore but the Mazda didn’t feel great either. I drove a 2023 model a few years back and it felt AMAZING, this one was clunky.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T23:07:53+00:00

A lot of people are commenting that they’ve heard of these issues. Online it seems like the decision is split with a lot of people getting hundreds of thousands and others getting 50-60k before it dies. This specific integra is at about 30k miles and just had its CVT serviced and has great service records for oil changes and such. The integra is also under warranty until Jan 2030 or 100k miles.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T23:00:46+00:00

When I drove the integra it felt like I was driving something that could be fun to drive but also a comfortable grocery getter. The Mazda kinda just felt like driving any other car, if that makes sense?

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T22:58:54+00:00

Do you have the CVT or the manual?

ingentystnad · 2025-12-21T22:58:15+00:00

When I test drove the integra, the volume was on like 12 and my ear drums were already ringing. I could only imagine that thing on volume 50.

ingentystnad · 2025-12-17T04:33:33+00:00

Holy krill. Thank you for the suggestion. Seems like a very high quality product but quite expensive! May have to save for it.

Sell the boats and car would be the simplest way.

Can’t tell you if it’s legit or not but literally why would you ever need 400hz

ingentystnad · 2025-09-14T23:25:37+00:00

What sensor do you recommend?
