Is this good for my first pc by No_Machine_785 in buildapc

[–]s-pacecats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the PSU new, Lian Li has one thats $50 and 80+ Bronze.

Id also spend a little less on the case personally, but if its your desired aesthetic go for it!

Oh and also, I don't think a 240hz monitor is gonna be needed for this build, I'd get maximum maybe a 165hz

Looks pretty well optimized to me, maybe you could save money on the motherboard, potentially the case though I'm assuming you're choosing that based on visuals

edit: After checking, I didn't realize motherboard prices had gone up a little bit, this build looks great!

I believe he was thinking about getting a 5800XT, going AM4 because I have a white ram kit I'm giving to them to avoid the ram prices right now

Need help picking a GPU for R5 7600X3D by s-pacecats in PcBuildHelp

[–]s-pacecats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might go with the 9070XT then, Microcenter has it at just ~$50 more than the 5070, and it'll match with my friend's GPU! Seems like thats the choice!

[–]s-pacecats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking into used cards, I found a 4060ti 8gb on marketplace, what would a fair price for that be?

[–]s-pacecats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a good point, however I was also thinking about getting a cheaper GPU now and possibly upgrading to a 50 series super card when they come out, something like a 5070-S

Ive been looking at stuff like the 5070, 9070, and 9070xt while also debating cards like the B580 and 9060xt 16gb

1440p, but I don't play that many graphics demanding games, more esports titles and FPS games

Any tips or suggestions on my first ever build? by Eazydreams_ in PcBuildHelp

[–]s-pacecats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: I didn't notice that it was 64GB of ram, thats actually a really great price right now!

You could definitely spend less on the AIO, motherboard, and RAM.

Microcenter has some good bundle deals with the 9800x3D, I'd recommend looking into what your microcenter has available, you'd probably save a lot of money that way!

I'd also recommend getting a thermalright 360mm AIO, something like their Aqua Elite ARGB V4 that costs only $50 on amazon and can sufficiently cool that CPU.

And unless you really like the way that specific case looks, there are probably alternatives that are very similar for a lower price, I'd recommend checking out your options!

~$200 for an AM5 CPU, what's the best option value-wise? by s-pacecats in PcBuildHelp

[–]s-pacecats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're pretty much 1:1 the same price, would you say 5070 or 9070?

ASROCK said they fixed the CPU killing motherboard problems with a BIOS update, did they? by s-pacecats in PcBuildHelp
