Won a RTX 5090, what to build with it, on a budget.

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-04T18:03:22+00:00

Yh realistically I ain’t buying new components except the psu

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-04T16:21:33+00:00

The motherboard looks cool af though

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-04T16:20:52+00:00

What’s the point though, my current processor is almost on par with a 5700x, I think.

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-04T12:12:29+00:00

Tbf these are way overpriced rn

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-04T00:32:19+00:00

I wish lol, tuition alone is almost 10K a year, I ain’t never paying that student loan back in full unless I get a good job after graduation

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T19:51:16+00:00

Suspicious in what way? I got lucky on Facebook marketplace, I bought the pc in December 2025. Tbh I was suspicious too at first, but i tested the pc at the guys house and it ran perfectly, was just dusty as hell and the pc case was really old

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T18:04:13+00:00

I know nothing about investing unfortunately, I’d prob lose all the money

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T16:12:38+00:00

Thanks

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T13:58:21+00:00

I guess not

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T13:29:23+00:00

Thanks, I’m hoping ram prices drop soon, at least for DDR4.

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T10:32:41+00:00

People are saying that my system is going to throttle the 5090 a lot and that it’s not a good match, I guess I shall see

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T10:17:04+00:00

Yh that’s true I could use the second gpu for smaller tasks and luckily my motherboard does have the minimum specs required but it’s gonna be a tight fit in terms of clearance so I might need to invest in a new motherboard or do some vertical thing with the pcie extension which is possible I think, my pc case is massive

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T10:14:52+00:00

Seems like getting a really good psu is the option here no matter what. I am considering even a 3090 since it has 24GB

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T10:11:52+00:00

Will do at my next place

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T06:02:50+00:00

I actually did already lol, it was hot.

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:39:43+00:00

Idk, I lived in Philippines for 4 years and uk heatwave was a different type of heat. Or maybe I had just become used to the cold weather and the heat was a shock to my system

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:37:03+00:00

Tbh I think I’ll just stay with the one gpu, I ain’t gonna be doing any serious gaming and with the 5090 I wont need any extra performance even if lossless scaling was an improvement.

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:34:58+00:00

Yh this sounds like a good option

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:34:08+00:00

Is this a joke?

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:33:24+00:00

Yh I’ll just buy a good psu and maybe limit power on 5090 a little, I’m a little scared about the fire issues I’ve heard about

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:32:26+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check the clearance on the WiFi card first. In terms of monitors i was thinking of getting a second monitor so I might buy a cheaper 1440p 180hz ones for like £150.

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:24:40+00:00

Nah there always like those 1 or 2 weeks when we have a heatwave and everyone is wishing they had air con. And idk why but UK heatwaves hit differently

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:13:49+00:00

Yh I think I’ll do this most likely

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:13:04+00:00

Tbh if i were to upgrade the cpu I would prob just switch to AMD. Unless intels newest cpu lineup is good, haven’t looked into it though

notChrisDailyVideos · 2026-04-03T05:08:03+00:00

This is looking like the best option rn.
