hi

this is my 2018 build, originally meant for 75hz but now that i massively upgraded from rx 550 to rx 5700 i shall get a 144hz monitor

[fringe cedar]

how much did you power for 5700?

[barren thunder]

650 i think

maybe 750

i dont think you need that much

[fringe cedar]

oh man

new or used?

and when

[barren thunder]

wait do you mean how much i payed for it

or how much power my pc needed

like in watts

[fringe cedar]

price

not watts

bro i typed power on accident

[barren thunder]

around 500 canadian

[fringe cedar]

im actually dumb

[fringe cedar]

when did you buy

[barren thunder]

i got it at the beginning of 2020

in january

[fringe cedar]

explains the price

[barren thunder]

id probably get a 6700xt right now

if i had a worse card

but i dont need to upgrade for a couple years

so when the 8700xt comes out ill get that

also gotta upgrade my cpu

[fringe cedar]

yeah i understand

perhaps 8700xt will be a good 4k card? depending on how perf increase trends are

[barren thunder]

itll be best for 1440p probably

and pretty decent for 4k

id get a 1440p monitor for it

So many missing case fans xD

[barren thunder]

thats when i first started building it, it has quite a lot of them now

my pc never gets hot because it has really good case and fans

[midnight ruin]

i mean from what i can see thats a meshify c, which is a solid case, yes
