  1. Thank you, make sense! Would you otherwise say the upgrade is reasonable? Keeping my old mobo/ram.
  2. Dude, I get it. You aren't very fond of Nvidia. Me neither, given their greed. You don't have to tag me in another post with a condescending tone to prove your point. I've been struggling to decide between a few GPUs and ultimately landed on the 4080. Is it that bad? Also, I am trying to future proof 3-4 years into the future, not indefinitely, so I think it's a valid question. Otherwise, I appreciate your help.
  3. Make sense, also do you think DDR5 is in any way necessary? I am just mainly gaming in 2k 165 hz, because I can't really tell the difference between 2k and 4k. Also, that's a sick looking cooler.
  4. Regarding 7900xtx vs 4080, I am brainwashed by the countless videos i've watched, and convinced myself NVIDIA is the safer choice. haha
  5. Budget (including currency): $ 2000 Country: US/China (I can source from both places, most of the stuff I am planning to buy are at MSRP) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GAMING ONLY Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hey guys, so I have been looking to upgrade my setup for a while now, here's my current build; 2070 Super Gigabyte Gaming OC; X570 MSI Tomahawk; Corsair DDR4 3600 RGB; Ryzen 3600X; Seasonic Prime 1000w Platinum; I am looking to upgrade my 1440p gaming experience. Throwing in a 4080 and a 5800x3d. My questions are: Is this a future proof build? Will it potentially last me for the next 4 years of supreme 2k gaming experience? Especially given that I am not upgrading my ram to DDR5. Are there any bottlenecks in my current plan? Games I am playing or am planning to play/re-play: RDR2 / MS Flight Simulator / MW2 + Future MW titles / Cyperpunk/ ??GTA 6?? / Last of Us Here's the PC Part Picker List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4RTC78 - Joshua
  6. Ohh! Nahh... both cards are still available Gigabyte 4070ti Gaming OC - $925 Gigabyte 7900xtx Gaming OC - $1,120 I just hesitated, because I am afraid of making the wrong decision
  7. Deal? What deal? I don't reside in the US. I mean I could get a 7900 xtx Gaming OC for $1,100 in my country. Are you using a 7900xtx? You find any issues with it? Are you happy with it? I am more of a plug and play person haha!
  8. Probably within the $1000? 5800x3d; 32GB DDR4; X570; 1000w Plat PSU; 165hz 1400p monitor;
  9. Hey everyone! I am currently rocking the 2070super and am looking to upgrade my GPU. I game on a 1440p monitor and have no interest in gaming in 4k. (I can't tell the difference anyway. xD. Especially because I like to game on 27-inch monitor). I am planning to keep my upgraded GPU for the next 3-4 years. I almost pulled the trigger twice. Once on a 7900xtx and once on a 4070Ti. I backed off the 7900xtx because there are some very "mixed" review regarding the drivers scattered around internet forums, and I am really no good in fixing / tweaking drivers and stuff... As for the 4070Ti, will 12GB of vram suffice for the next 3 years of triple A titles, gaming on 2k? I feel like the 4080 is an overkill, especially considering the price ... If not, are there any GPUs you recommend me getting? My budget is quite flexible, but I just don't want to spend more than I have to. Current Setup: 2k 165hz ; 5800x3d; 32GB 3600 DDR4; Hoping to play or re-play: RDR2 / MSFS / MW2 / 2077 / Spiderman / Any other cool looking games :D! Thank you for reading! Cheers
  10. I am looking to upgrade my GPU but am struggling to decide on one! These are the prices I can find! Which one would you get? TUF GeForce RTX 3060Ti-O8GD6X-GAMING - US$ 510 TUF GeForce RTX 3070 O8G V2 Gaming - US$ 581 AORUS GeForce RTX 3070Ti MASTER 8G - US$ 670 ROG Strix 4070Ti TUF FAMINF 12G - US$ 960 XFX RX 7900XT 20G - US$ 870 XFX RX 6950XT 16G - US$ 725 I thought about getting second hand cards, but I reside in China, and am afraid the second hand cards are all old mining cards. I could get a Aorus 3070 second hand for $275, but is it worth the risk? About my current setup: Monitor - 27-inch 165hz 2k monitor CPU - 3600X GPU - 2070 super MB - MSI X570
  11. Thank you, kinda considering the G14 as well. Hopefully is sturdy enough, will travel with it a lot. Kinda need a webcam , for Teams meeting and stuff. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
  12. Wondering if anyone can give me some good recommendation for a 14-15 inch laptop. I am using it for 2 primary purposes, medium-weight gaming (prob 3060/70 or equivalent will do) and mobile application development. My budget is $2000 Right now I am looking at the: ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 14” WQXGA 120Hz Gaming Laptop – AMD Ryzen 9– 16GB DDR5 Memory – AMD Radeon RX 6700S – 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
  13. Hello, Prefer black colour. RGB or no RGB, doesn't matter. Anything below $150. (Am willing to increase depending on the case). To be honest, I care a little more about aesthetics.
  14. Hey guys, so I bought all the components apart from the PC Case (Any suggestion would be awesome) However, i just noticed this little warning by PC part picker, should I be worried? *THIS IS MY FIRST PC BUILD* Budget (including currency): $1700 Country: USA & China Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GAMES
  15. Cheers, thank you very much. I am very much a rookie, building my first rig once I get out of quarantine !
  16. So it's definitely enough for gaming you think? What about a SN 750? or a Crucial P1?
  17. Why is the WD Blue SN550 cheaper compared to other SSDs? Is it a good SSD? I am planning to get one for my $1600 build.
  18. Cheers guys. Though I don't know what b-die is, I am assuming it would far exceed my budget.
  19. Is this a good choice? https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Trident-PC4-28800-CL16-19-19-39-F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC/dp/B07WVT8SGF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YWU5E7LCPJPG&dchild=1&keywords=trident+z+neo+16gb&qid=1591596261&s=electronics&sprefix=Trident+Z+NEo+16+%2Celectronics%2C147&sr=1-1 Btw, Tofu, I have spoken to you in this forum more than I have spoken to my mother in the past few days.
  20. But that's not a 3600, does it matter? I heard AMD performs better with faster RAM? Again, I am a newbie, please correct me if I am wrong.
  21. What is the best RAM for the 3700X CPU? I was about to buy the Trident Z Neo 16GB, but then the titles confused me. Some includes (AMD), some includes specific generations and all that confusing stuff .... Any suggestion on what should I get? Budget $130 (willing to go higher if justifiable). Preferably with RGB because I am low and sad. Cheers guys.
