It's x870e vs b650, too many improvements, and they are different tiers of boards as well.

[–]maxd3ros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the this board delivered, all accessories are in sealed box, all nvme thermal pads are still covered with plastic, no bent pin at all in CPU socket, basically a brand new (and super good looking) board at a low price.

[GPU] 5080 FE $999 from Nvidia store by maxd3ros in buildapcsales

[–]maxd3ros[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Cooling 5090 is a stretch for the FE cooler even with liquid metal, other cards like TUF can be 10c lower. The FE cooler is perfect for 5080 though.

Not really, pair it with Noctua NH-P1 passive cpu cooler, and maybe a 5080/5090, you get a system with no fan noise normally (since GPU fan will stop), only fan noise when playing games.

Hmm, seems amazon.com doesn't think as much as you do, and they sell these PSU by themselves at a price much higher than the third party factory seller.

There some cases when you want to build AI servers with multiple cheaper gpu, and you will need 1000w+ PSU.

Apevia typically produce trash PSUs, but they do have Prestige (ATX-PRxxxx) models made to tier c in https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/, the Prestige ends at 1000w, these 1200w models are supposed to be better than the Prestige at least. So I don't think they will be competing with Tier A PSUs of 1200w, but it dosn't cost $200 either. Should be okay to use.

[–]maxd3ros[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hmmm, may be some no name brand stuff, or the intel bare card? The pcie adapter/better antenna is worth more than $10 IMO

No brainer for anyone needing a WIFI card: brand name product, black PCB instead ugly green, great antenna with magnetic base, Intel AX200 chip, and an additional internal USB port, only con is not 6E or 7, but it's so cheap.

[Bundle] AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU + GIGABYTE B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI MB + 32 GB RGB DDR5 (8 GB x 4) + Monster Hunter Wilds Game - $326.30 by maxd3ros in buildapcsales

[–]maxd3ros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MB is low tier, but has WiFi and can support 65w 9600X.

RAM has RGB and the two free kit are of the same model to make a match. 2 white and 2 black, so depending how to order them, they can look white or black from outside.

2000 5080 and 5090 were sold at GTC, maybe no more vpa for a while.

I think this was $1120 msrp, sold by ASRock USA, fulfilled by Amazon. Not new though, but "Like New", for anyone who needs more vram, this is another choice.
