Expensive/10

 

There's so much to save $ on, and there's so many questions unanswered. Because we don't know your use-case or anything.

 

For example, 1600W Power Supply?

futureproof xD. And i dont need anything else so why dont spend it on a good and future proof psu. And if you were wondering on why one 4TB and one 1TB that is because i run linux daily but i also need that 1TB for windows so i can play GTA 5 now and 6 when it comes out.

1600w PSU for 570 bucks is wild.  A 9800X3D and RTX 5080 can run on a solid 650w PSU.

I planned on running my own 9800X3D + 5090 combo on a 1000w.   I still plan on using my 1000w when I get a 6090 in 2027.

230 bucks on an AIO is also crazy when a 35 dollar air cooler does the same job.

 

I guess you got the money.

Well, you could do that.

 

Or you could spend at least little bit of time deciding what's worth and what's not before swiping your credit card against the shiniest object in the room.

 

You're also spending almost 400$ extra on RTX 5080 of same speed, but just different model, but that model will be basically as fast as cheapest RTX 5080 model.

 

How does this sound?:

  • This is literally similarly fast PC for 1200$ less, and with extra thought on aesthetics too

 

That case comes with 0 fans or anything, so all your fans would be 3 stacked fans from radiator and nothing else in your original list. (not to mention extra aesthetics would mean, more money..)

Well, its not a real list as they are just asking about their list if they got the chance to get the 5k AMD Upgrade.

Throw a 5090 in there, max out the 5k budget. But overall this is just a wishlist.

I'm personally not going to entertain this thread anymore.

Oh, "illegal activity"? Well I suppose I could have read the context little slower.

 

Well, I suppose either performance, or aesthetics or other peripherals could be maxed out.

Perhaps 5090, or other things, gaming mouse, or headphones. Keyboard, mousepad. Vesa mount for monitor. Or better table, if needed.
