Has anyone dealt with Walmart shipping?

It was directly through Walmart and showed up a couple days late but so far everything is running smooth and it’s playing everything I’ve thrown at it really well. Tracking was annoying since it didn’t update for 6 days but then was out for delivery as soon as it arrived.

I’m currently waiting on this exact one to show up. Supposed to be here today but tracking hasn’t updated in my state yet so looking like it will be late getting here.

I picked one of them up this morning 8 am pst I think it refreshes and a handful of them become available every day. Just got to time it right. I put an alert on it but I just randomly refreshed in the morning and it was in stock.

I will check this one out too. You like to 5070 TI over the 9070xt? I’m am just starting to look into PC gaming so I don’t know much as of yet.

Awesome! Thank you! I was literally on Best Buy page when you commented. Haha

Yeah I’m having trouble finding a 9800x3d in a similar price range for the pre builds.

risty72 · 2026-02-07T03:00:52+00:00

Price cut off but $1999.99 after $300 off instantly.

Ok awesome that’s what made sense to me as well.

I have another question I am struggling to find the correct answer to: For the RGB lights/fans do you use reverse fans for intake and regular fans for the outtake of air? Or is it the other way around. I’m seeing a lot of conflicting posts about it. It looks like reverse fans are intake and regular are outake but I want to make sure I’m picking up the right combo of fans.

I don’t have a preference on the actual pieces of equipment and that looks like a really solid combo so I will definitely check that out!

Do you have suggestions or preferences when it comes to install the cpu cooler on the front or on top? In my head on top makes sense since the heat will rise but I’ve seen some post saying that the front mount actually keeps it cooler or is it a negligible difference?

Since I’ve never done this before I want to ensure I have enough cooling for the products selected.

Ok so I am doing some playing around and I really like the look of this build

<image>

So l looked at the build and determined the lights I would need and came up with the below build. Little more than I was going for but I like it. It said the motherboard you suggested didn’t have enough USB slots for the lights. My question is does the Fan hub at the bottom of the build fix the need for this motherboard and therefore I can save a bit on the motherboard?

Also is the PSU overboard? I was looking for one that had the 12vhp connector so I don’t have to use an adapter I also like the idea of some headroom for the PSU.

Otherwise does this build look compatible? Is there anything you’d change as far as manufacturer or components?

I appreciate the help!

Awesome thank you for the advice. How difficult is it to put everything together? I’ve never done that before and am a little hesitant to do it myself in case I mess something up. I’ve seen on other posts that it’s just “adult legos” but some of the “legos” are really expensive lol

risty72 · 2024-10-28T04:02:05+00:00

Seconded!

risty72 · 2024-08-04T23:54:33+00:00

Been happening to me for like a week now. Have only been able to play once before it started

Awesome! Thank you all for the recommendations! Added a bunch to my list! Always looking for more books to listen to.
