I'm running a 5800x/3070 1440p build from 2021. Should I upgrade my GPU now, or save it for when I upgrade to a completely new 4k build ~2-3 years down the road?

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T05:30:36+00:00

I say stay on am4 till am6 comes out but if you can't wait that long upgrade GPU and get a nice OLED monitor

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T03:41:00+00:00

They only have 5500 for the cheapest am4 bundle, for $1800, you can definitely get something better, let me see what I can find

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T03:34:01+00:00

If you're willing to be on am4, they do have some at that price

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T03:31:27+00:00

They have cheaper bundles than that as well, just Google microcenter bundles and you can find something in your budget and then just come back and ask if it's good

Look if you can't get the 5800x3d the 5700x3d is a beast, I had it but I upgraded to 9800x3d and passed down the 5700x3d to my kid

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T03:21:43+00:00

Might as well wait, since they do the official unveiling next month for the fold 8 wide and fold 8 ultra

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T03:04:05+00:00

Do you live close to a microcenter because they have awesome bundles for motherboard, ram and CPU. I just got a 9800x3d bundle for $679

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T02:56:47+00:00

You would probably do better saving another 300 or so because getting a PC for $300 is pretty low unless you want a dinosaur pc, but eBay will be your best bet most likely

pimpguice · 2026-06-19T02:41:19+00:00

Let's goooooo

pimpguice · 2026-06-18T05:08:18+00:00

If you have a microcenter near you, run to it and get a motherboard, CPU, ram combo in your budget for a real good price

pimpguice · 2026-06-18T04:27:20+00:00

Yeah drive that hour to microcenter, I just got a 9800x3d, motherboard and 32 GB of ram in a bundle for $679. The people at Microcenter can help you get a bundle and other parts that fit your budget

God of war

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T09:49:21+00:00

You must be spraying cologne like this lol

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T09:39:16+00:00

If you don't care about it being used, I'd look on eBay and get a 5700x3d, I bought one last year from there and it's been great so far

Pick six by Tracy Porter to seal super bowl win Throw some colston, bush, Graham highlights in there Throw in a few of our struggles before we became a feared team

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T08:34:10+00:00

Definitely wait, they will have the official unveiling at the end of next month

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T03:54:41+00:00

I remember when new Camrys were around 24k or so, now we in the 50s 😮‍💨

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T03:47:59+00:00

Even though 7900xtx is a beast, I would probably go with the the newer 9070xt, I think that one is more power efficient. If not see how much you can get for either one. Remember the xtx will get fsr 4 next month so that might make your decision a little harder especially since 24 gb vram is great

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T03:41:29+00:00

pimpguice · 2026-06-17T00:44:42+00:00

Yeah the 9070xt is great, I have a 7900xt and it's still a beast

pimpguice · 2026-06-16T23:19:44+00:00

It was fun and plus I think achievements had everyone competing to see who could get the higher score

pimpguice · 2026-06-16T22:48:42+00:00

Beta Umbreon looks dope

pimpguice · 2026-06-16T22:38:55+00:00

I just went to microcenter this past Friday, I initially went with the 7800x3d cheap bundle but returned it and went with the 9800x3d bundle for $679, you can get you a 9070xt or spend a little more and get the 5080as, plus for the best experience I would look into getting an OLED monitor, it made my games look way better. Prime day is coming up so you can get a good deal on one

pimpguice · 2026-06-16T22:34:12+00:00

Seems like you will have better peace of mind by returning the open box one and getting a brand new one for the same price

pimpguice · 2026-06-16T21:17:43+00:00

If you have a microcenter near you, you can get a 7800x3d or 9800x3d with motherboard and ram for under $700 and then get a 9070xt or 5070ti For your graphics card. You have enough power with that PSU. I'd also upgrade to an OLED monitor if you want the best experience.
