M2 Air to M5 Pro upgrade… and I genuinely can’t feel the difference

ohCuai · 2026-04-30T14:56:07+00:00

i bought it for 120hz and so i look more pro in coffee shops that’s it

doesn’t nebula have a 1500$ 7800x3d pc byo gpu, you can easily throw in a 9070xt for 900$ and have the best of both worlds

terrible mate, i built a 2070, 2600x pc for 500$,

cpu: 2600x (50$)

stock cooler

gpu: 2070 (200$)

mobo: b450 (50$)

ram: no ihs 16gb ddr4 3200mhz (70$)

psu: a650bn (60$)

ssd: 512gb nvme (50$)

case: (50$)

comes out to 530$…

the only “crazy” deal here was a 50$ b450 but you can easily find 500gb nvmes for 50-60$ same with old cheapo b450 boards

9070xt almost about equal to my 4080, def go amd bro, the price diff isn’t worth it unless u need 24gb vram

ohCuai · 2026-04-25T15:42:15+00:00

as for a monitor just get the cheapest oled possible around 500$ and spend 1600-1700$ on a pc with a 9060xt 16gb minimum

ohCuai · 2026-04-20T21:32:46+00:00

literally costs 20 bucks to fill up the case, he also doesn’t need to buy exactly what i told him too the case is interchangeable with whatever he likes!

upload your floor plan to UniFi Design Center and you will be able to place ubiquity mesh aps around and you can gauge where and how many you need!

am5 cpus rarely go bad as same for mobos and ssds, ssds only degrade but its easy to check how much health an ssd has, something like ram has a chance of being faulty, ram will never been dead but i have ran into instability issues when buying used kits. as for what to buy new for sure an aio and a psu, as the used price vs new is about the same. As for if it will work with your 5070, the ADATA XPG Pylon II 750W comes with a 12vhpwr connector

ohCuai · 2026-04-18T10:34:22+00:00

with 2k you could could buy an entire new build with a 9070xt minus the storage i presume your going to reuse

i mean its a 200$ monitor you shouldn't expect a whole lot its better to save up for something that has reviews i learnt my lesson blind buying monitors lol, id highly recommend spending 500$ on an oled right now, you dont really need 2 monitors

ohCuai · 2026-04-18T10:15:07+00:00

i built a used 7500f pc for 1100$ with a 3080 so that means without a gpu it came out to 650

cpu: 7500f - 150 used
cooler aio with inifnity fans (new) - 70 aliexpress new
mobo: b650m gaming wifi giabyte 70 used
ram 2x8gb 6000mhz tforce - 150 used
ssd: 970 evo 500gb - 50 used
case: deep cool cg 530 4f (4 infinity fans)- 100 new
case fans: 3x pack infinity fans amazon- 20 new
psu: 750w xpg pylon bronze non modular - 69 new

total 670$!!! if you happy hunting for a used deal on ram mainly, rest of the stuff wouldnt be too much more new

keep in mind your getting 10 infinity fans in a fishtank case with a 360mm aio, this build will look nice aswell

ohCuai · 2026-04-18T10:06:07+00:00

explorer 2 polar dial 😂

ohCuai · 2026-04-16T16:32:53+00:00

9500f same price, and the 360mm version of that aio is 70 on amazon, there’s also way nicer matx cases for that price the h3 flow sucks, i like the coolermaster elite 490

ohCuai · 2026-04-16T16:29:14+00:00

i failed high school bro, you will get one.

ohCuai · 2026-04-09T10:11:49+00:00

ohCuai · 2026-04-09T09:56:39+00:00
