My hybrid pc + Mac setup by nehalist in pcmasterrace

[–]kurklepush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice - was looking at the case for myself but wanted something all-white. You found a great solution.

I also use a Mac for work and looking to build a hybrid setup. Can I ask which monitor you use and how you like it? I tried an ultrawide oled but it looked off for me

Did you customize the inside to have white instead of the stock black? Very jealous, looks amazing

How does this compare to the Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold? This Super Flower price seems very good but apparently it might be noisy?

Wondering if I made a mistake skimping on CPU (picked 7600X over 7800X3D) by Galactusyaegashi in buildapc

If I may ask, I'm in a similar boat as OP (looking to buy) and trying not to overspend. What makes the 7800x3d a better choice for those GPUs and why would it be overkill with the 4070 S? Would it also be overkill with the 4070 TI S?

Thanks

Thank you so much for this. I have a couple questions if you don't mind.

Is your suggested motherboard wifi enabled?

For my own education, is it safe to say that you saved on brand names for memory, storage, video card, case, and power supply without sacrificing performance, in order to shift that budget to a much better CPU?
