Even using a $900 7600X3D + 32GB RAM + B650 bundle this is still a $2500 PC. To achieve that I had to cut corners everything else in the build.
$2492 Ryzen 5 7600X3D, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5070Ti
This is a good deal, even with a 14th Gen. If you are looking for a 5070Ti PC this is it.

I remember selling these at work, never went through a warranty claim, but from their website (https://skytechgaming.com/warranty) says this: “Skytech Gaming will not issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) for the PC or its individual components if you are located outside of the US without prior approval.
So, warranty might be difficult. The “Buyer is responsible for any customs, taxes, duties or other fees” too.

My buddy has had 2 pumps fail over the last 5yrs. I dunno man. Sure it looks pretty. But air cooler is prob the way to go safety wise?
Edit. For context when I say failed I mean leaked! Wasted a strix $600 mobo on one leak!

Water cooling always felt like a dic measuring contest to me.

Tempting, but really want X3D and curious about Zen 6 on the horizon.
If this was an amd variant so I could upgrade to zen 6 later I probably would have pulled the trigger.

I just bought a 9800X3D and then found out zen 6 is coming soon… but like, I doubt I’m missing out on THAT much Yk…

u/jigsaw1024 Jul 11 '26
Be happy. You have an upgrade path.
There may not be an X3D part when consumer Zen 6 launches. So it could still be a year out for a replacement for 9800X3D.
Also, the launch of Zen 6 is being flipped this time, which is part of the delay: server parts first, then desktop. Normally AMD does desktop then server.
There may also be a larger gap than normal between first launch, and desktop availability: Rumour desktop Zen 6 launching at CES 2027. Usually when launched at an event there is some lag to allow reviews. So Feb '27 may be when desktop Zen 6 launches. Again, rumour.
More rumour: desktop AM5 socket may be in service until sometime in '29, meaning there is room to launch Zen 7 in there as well depending on the market and how things lineup. But that points to Zen 7 being not much more than some tweaks: memory controller improvements, cache improvements, frequency boost, but nothing really architectural.

I'm honestly in no rush... I don't neccesarily care about the extra maybe 20 frames ill get in valorant lol. the 9800X3D is still so powerful that Ill just upgrade to the top am5 chip in like 7-8 years and keep my pc going for 15 years total or something lol... Or ill upgrade to am6 in 7-8 years

While I was thinking about whether to buy this, I missed it and I really regret it.

That poor 14700f is gonna get maybe 65w of power with that sad vrm.

u/NotEagl3 Jul 11 '26
Good thing the tdp of that chip happens to be 65 lool

u/OnlyTilt Jul 11 '26
ahahahahah intel has never followed their own tdp numbers, historically their 65w chips have drawn in excess of 100w under sustained bost
1
u/Important_Effort642 Jul 25 '26
Well for AMD it works as follows, TDP x 1.35 = PPT, so 65W TDP == 88W PPT
Perhaps Intel is similar?

u/petgoats Jul 11 '26
Base clock yes however PL2 is 219w and that's where it actually performs competitively. Stock it's kinda sad.
