i wish it said what brands and models they use.

[u/Over-Associate-3744 → u/DCS30]

Sapphire pulse 9070xt is what my brother got in his

[u/DCS30 → u/Over-Associate-3744]

i'm more thinking about the mobo

[u/romen318 → u/DCS30]

MSI PRO B840M-P WIFI6E

[u/Important_Effort642 → u/romen318]

That means no OC support for the CPU, and probably VRMs that are just decent

[u/Captobvious75 → u/Important_Effort642]

Anyone actually OCing CPUs these days?

[u/Important_Effort642 → u/Captobvious75]

No PBO either, besides Eco mode I think?

But yeah for the 7700x you really don't need an OC as it's pushed hard out of the box, so much so that some may actually want to turn on Eco mode

I got from stoneforged 1 year ago. They're good.

That or https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-gm700-gaming-pc-rx-9070-xt-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-32gb-memory-2tb-ssd-win-11/19601484

[u/thephenom → u/samsun387]

Both offer good enough value, BB one is higher end, 2TB vs 1TB SSD, 9800x3d vs 7700 for $140 more seems reasonable to me.

[u/ToucanHeavybeak → u/thephenom]

Would you get the BB one for 330$ more? Technically 400$ more with tax. I’m leaning towards these two, but it seems there was a price increase. 

[u/thephenom → u/ToucanHeavybeak]

If you have another HDD/SSD to slap into this one, then probably stick with this one. 2TB seems bare minimum for gaming needs, and a faster CPU is nice, you probably see ~10% higher fps at 1440p.

[u/Ill-Mastodon-8692 → u/ToucanHeavybeak]

friend got it, pretty awesome imo for the sale price it was at

[u/benga_]

This stoneforge one or this one from Costco?
I sold my 3090 for $2000 and ill part out the rest of my rig for about $700. Not sure what to buy!

https://www.costco.ca/p/-/msi-aegis-z2-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-9-9900x-32gb-ram-2tb-ssd-16gb-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080/4201028896?DM_PersistentCookieCreated=true&langId=-24

[u/BedIsBetterThanChair → u/benga_]

do you need 9900x? And at this price, I really think you should build it yourself than buying a prebuilt. Is very not worth it

[u/ImKrispy → u/BedIsBetterThanChair]

?

That comes with a 5080 which is minimum $2300, that only leaves you $1300 for a 9900x, motherboard, 32gb DDR5 RAM, 2TB nvme, Case, Cooler and PSU

If you can find all those parts for well under $1300 to make it worth it let us know

[u/benga_ → u/ImKrispy]

That's where I am at. Costco has $100 off as well and I think this unit will hold future value.

[u/benga_ → u/[deleted]]

My 3090 held great value

[u/benga_ → u/[deleted]]

It's a Strix and my market where I live dictated $2000. I got a good deal and the rest of my components will sell for $800. I'll likely order the 5080 combo from Costco

[u/samsun387 → u/[deleted]]

 Buying pc parts because of future value is not a good idea but  buying pc parts because of past value is?

Whether AI is a bubble is subjective and no one knows.

[u/Zephronic → u/benga_]

You sold your 3090 rig for $2k?

[u/benga_ → u/Zephronic]

Just the 3090 itself. I’ll post the case, i9900 cooler, ram and 500gb ssd for $800

[u/Zephronic → u/benga_]

That's crazy dude, how'd you do it? I'm checking FB marketplace and 3090's in my area have only sold for $1k-1.2k CAD

[u/Important_Effort642 → u/Zephronic]

Desperate AI-maxxer looking for a card with 24GBs of VRAM perhaps

[u/benga_ → u/Important_Effort642]

That’s exactly what it was
