stock cooler is enough for the cpu
also, you can always spend an additional 30$ later on if need be

white trellis
ebon jetty
#

1373

#

yours is 1500~ btw

#

the one you posted

white trellis
#

dont rlly wanna go over 1300-1350

white trellis
#

im at florida

#

im getting the 6950 xt from micro center at 659$

ebon jetty
#

oh

white trellis
#

i checked abt get 7900 xt but it is 110 dollar more that i dont got

ebon jetty
#

downgrade the case and you can shave off another 30-40

ebon jetty
#

can't you buy online?

white trellis
#

yeah im getting it online

ebon jetty
#

under 1350

#

btw, there's promo codes at the bottom for the parts

ebon jetty
white trellis
#

so its 750

ebon jetty
#

why just Amazon?

#

you got gift cards or something

white trellis
#

nope

#

but amazon got prime shipping

#

i just got 10 days to get it

#

im at sudamerica

#

i will go to florida to visit my aunt and get the parts

ebon jetty
#

have you checked the shipping time on Newegg?

white trellis
#

no i havent

#

its safe to buy there?

#

thats why im getting it from amazon

#

@ebon jetty have u bought there?

ebon jetty
#

Newegg is safe

#

it's usually cheaper than Amazon too

it's a dedicated tech selling website

#

if you have to use Amazon, go for the 7800 xt

#

similar in preformace to the 6950 xt but it will have longer support as it's a newer card

#

it's also way cheaper

#

400-500$

#

I think

white trellis
#

im going amazon cus if smt doesnt arrives i would be fucked

#

thats why

ebon jetty
#

save 150$ and go 7800 xt

white trellis
#

and my aunts already buy stuff from amazon

white trellis
#

i rlly like the reference card

ebon jetty
#

7000 also have AV1 encoding

white trellis
#

i dont need that

#

its for gaming

ebon jetty
#

nice have just in case yk

white trellis
#

so all points to the 7800 xt for me?

ebon jetty
#

7800 xt is the same but cheaper and newer gen

ebon jetty
#

is 150$ worth the reference card

#

up to you

white trellis
ebon jetty
#

alright

white trellis
#

ye but i wanna ask smt

ebon jetty
#

sapphire is a good brand

#

good customer service

#

50$ for that is worth it

ebon jetty
white trellis
#

arent these gonna make it better than 7800?

ebon jetty
#

I don't really understand that

white trellis
#

lemme try to translate the page

ebon jetty
#

7800 xt has a higher boost clock, draws less power, and updated cores

#

I sorta understand the key terms

white trellis
ebon jetty
white trellis
ebon jetty
#

in terms of performance, they are around each other and the 7800 xt will hold up better long term with updates

#

remember, amd slowly makes their stuff better over time

white trellis
#

k

#

i will check what i can do

#

if cant get 7900 xt ima get the 7800

ebon jetty
#

also, the 7800 xt holds up better on over clocking

#

if you wanna do thay

#

that

white trellis
#

I got rlly inspired on this build

image0.jpg
ebon jetty
#

that's stick

#

too many fans though

#

the fan at the very rear is harming performance

white trellis
#

ye

#

i love 6000 series reference cards

ebon jetty
#

so 7600 would be better

white trellis
#

im getting a cooler anyways so 7600x doesnt hurt me

#

btw whats the support i could get?

bronze kite
# white trellis

6950xt has more raw performance but 7800xt is cheaper afaik and has those new cool next gen features

white trellis
#

such as?

bronze kite
#

Anti-lag+, AV1

#

Probably more

bronze kite
ebon jetty
white trellis
bronze kite
#

Nah, 6950xt has anti-lag ( non + )

white trellis
#

i know

bronze kite
#

Also it was banning people from CS2

white trellis
#

i know too

#

but i mean

#

the diff is too big?

#

anyways

#

bro

#

i have even thinked abt buy it just for the desing

ebon jetty
#

personal preference at the end of the day

#

100$ for design

bronze kite
#

Sometimes they’re even the cheapest

ebon jetty
white trellis
bronze kite
#

Must just be price differences

#

The reference 7800xt is $20 more than the cheapest 7800xt where I live

white trellis
#

im getting the parts from amazon

#

i could go to an micro center and get it for 50$ less

#

but im not sure bc i just got 13 days

ebon jetty
#

op can't use Newegg

bronze kite
#

Why not

ebon jetty
#

he's coming into the U.S. for a while and leaving

bronze kite
#

Oh okay

white trellis
#

so

#

i alr know enough

#

i will go there in 4 months

#

i will see how stuff goes on

ebon jetty
#

might be a bit early to be planning the build then

#

prices change fast

white trellis
#

yeah

ebon jetty
#

in 4 months there will be better options maybe

white trellis
#

im just exited

#

cus irs gonna be my first custom pc

ebon jetty
#

gpu prices are expected to fall after the 40 super series comes out

white trellis
#

i just wanna make sure what im gonna get

#

to make no regrets after

#

ima stay with the pc for 4-5 years so im not gonna overclock it

white trellis
#

should i cheap out on some parts to get 7900 xt?

#

like get an A620 mobo?

#

and a 650w psu

#

i hope 40 super makes the 7000 series go cheaper

#

i think i got too exicted ngl

#

it is for 1080p 240hz

#

or 1440p 144hz

drowsy pulsar
#

Too many platform sacrifices to make 7600 + 7900 xt to work at this budget

white trellis
#

that would work?

#

5600 + 7900 xt doesnt sounds good

drowsy pulsar
drowsy pulsar
drowsy pulsar
white trellis
#

no bottlenecks? at that resolution?

#

dumb question mb

#

i think that could be an option

#

i will check

#

as he said prices may change by 4 months

ebon jetty
ebon jetty
#

with am5
you have a board and ram you can bring to the next cpu

#

on am4, you have to do a repurchase
