Im currently in the process of building a PC and Ive essentially gained all my knowledge from 2 weeks worth of youtube videos. I have a few questions that need answering and any and all help is greatly appreciated.

  1. Im indecisive on whether to buy the Rysen 7 7700x, or the Rysen 7 7800x3d

  2. Im also having some indecisiveness on the gpu, i have a budget of $1000 and am considering buying a 4080 Super.

  3. I just need a peer review on the whole build so i know what to edit or change

The build will be linked to this post on pcpartpicker. Thank you guys

btw go for a 7900 XTX for better driver overhead and in my experience better drivers and it also has a massive 8GB of morevram

#

and its cheaper

#

and its better

indigo sequoia
#

ray tracing aswell?

quasi stag
indigo sequoia
#

im not sure if its bs but ive heard a lot about amd gpus crashing and having issues, but again im not that educated on the topic

indigo sequoia
#

but i might go into more graphical games in the future

quasi stag
quasi stag
#

7900XTX user for a year now

#

zero driver chrashes and issues

indigo sequoia
#

is it also superior to the 7900XT?

quasi stag
#

no

#

the 7900 XTX is a tiny bit faster then the 4080 super but the 7900 XTX has 8GB more VRAM so a total of 24GB while the 4080 only has 16GB

indigo sequoia
#

what is the benifit of more vram

#

games only take up like 5 or 6 at a time right?

quasi stag
#

some games use 16GB

#

and this is games made now

indigo sequoia
#

assasins creed?

quasi stag
#

it dosent even have RT

indigo sequoia
#

what games take up 16 gb?

#

and when you say the XTX is better

#

thats without considering overclocking right?

#

because im most likley never going to overglock my gpu or cpu

quasi stag
#

most pc hardwear is alredy overclocked

#

this list is WAY WAY better then the one you had

#

you now get a oled screen and a way better keyboard

#

and way way better cpu

indigo sequoia
#

why not the gen 5 ssd

quasi stag
#

gen 5 dose just not make any sense for gaming in 2024

indigo sequoia
#

and if the ssd has already been ordered and delivered? 😬

quasi stag
#

most places do offer a 14-30day no questions asked return window

indigo sequoia
#

so its worth it to return?

#

i got it off amazon im able to return it

quasi stag
#

ye

#

again 2X the price for next to no performance uplift in gaming

#

was the drive the only thing orderd?

indigo sequoia
#

no

#

i got the case, 2 monitors, cpu cooler, power supply, and headphones

#

and the ssd

quasi stag
#

F

#

welp psu is good and cooler but its just the monitors i would get replaced

indigo sequoia
#

i was thinking about that

#

because 1080p wont really benifit from such an expensive gpu

quasi stag
#

the Cooler Master Tempest GZ2711 will be like gaming on a cloud

indigo sequoia
#

its a bottle neck

indigo sequoia
quasi stag
quasi stag
indigo sequoia
#

lmao

quasi stag
#

its a oled screen and its known for just being the best thing to game on

indigo sequoia
#

whats the reresh rate?

quasi stag
#

240

#

1440p

#

from what i have heard 1440p on a oled is like 4k on a normal screen but without the performance loss

indigo sequoia
#

oled has preformance loss?

quasi stag
#

no

#

the oled screen is easier to run aka use less performance to run so you get more FPS and a good image while on a normal monitor at 4k needs a lot of performance and you get less FPS

#

in short OLED is like magic and almost everybody who has used it says they will never go back

#

and for a side monitor any basic 1080p screen will do

#

and the samsung monitor in the list is the same side monitor i have

indigo sequoia
#

ahhh i see

quasi stag
#

its worth it if possible to return the monitors for a OLED one

indigo sequoia
#

expensive af though

quasi stag
#

ofc

indigo sequoia
#

how much is yours?

quasi stag
#

i got it super cheap used as its a 1080P 280Hz monitor

quasi stag
indigo sequoia
#

an OLED 1080p monitor?

#

i thought they only came in 1440p

quasi stag
#

no

indigo sequoia
#

oh your side monitor?

quasi stag
#

no

#

its using old tech so it dose look like ass for movies and most games but for now im mostly playing CS but i have wanted to upgrade for a while but oled monitors where i live are ULTRA exspenisve

#

and cost as much or more then my gpu

indigo sequoia
#

the cheapest one i found was like 700 bucks

#

and a general question for you

#

is userbenchmark a trustworthy benchmarking site?

quasi stag
#

GOD NO NEVER EVER USE THAT

indigo sequoia
#

whats wrong with it?

quasi stag
#

everything

#

most of it is just HATING on amd

#

making testes that are better on intel then claims that intel is better for everything even tho is just a basic test

indigo sequoia
#

so to summerize it

#

its either the 4080 super or 7900XTX

#

get a 1440p or OLED monitor

#

get rid of the ssd and buy a gen 4

#

and get a good keyboard

#

but keyboards is another deep rabbit hole i dont wanna go down until i actually order the parts

#

is the case im getting too big for my motherboard?

quasi stag
quasi stag
quasi stag
#

in pure gaming

indigo sequoia
#

but like 40% better at ray tracing

#

and frame generation is also better

quasi stag
#

fluid motion frams?

#

and the adrenalin app is SO nice

quasi stag
indigo sequoia
#

it has a ui?

#

i like both

#

or sorry

quasi stag
indigo sequoia
#

if

#

if i get the same fps as the refreshrate of my monitor

#

then id lean towards visuals

quasi stag
#

almost no game with a 4080 super is going to get over 100 FPS in RT on 1440P

indigo sequoia
#

like if i get 240 fps on a 240 htz monitor id want better visuals

indigo sequoia
indigo sequoia

#

and again RT is normaly pretty minimall

#

so with it off you normaly do not notice it and worst case amd still has RT cores

#

and its still super good

indigo sequoia
#

what games take up 16 gb of vram though?

quasi stag
#

and the 7900 XTX even beats the 4080 super in some RT games

indigo sequoia
#

is there a game called life?

quasi stag
#

as we have seen with the 4060 ti 8GB vs 4060 ti 16GB

indigo sequoia
#

is it just to future proof for more advanced games in the future?

quasi stag
#

this pc is made to last

indigo sequoia
#

i see

#

im too broke to afford that

quasi stag
#

2x the price for i think it was 1.2-1.3 the amount of performance

#

also keep in mind it should hold its value pretty well as next gen amd is not going to be better then the 7900 XTX in rastor aka in true gaming performance

indigo sequoia
#

is the XTX they newest gen gpu that amd has?

quasi stag
#

its 7000 gen

#

XT is like super while XTX is like TI

indigo sequoia
#

i see

quasi stag
#

its just better versions of the same gen

indigo sequoia
#

ti is better than super in nvidias line ups?

quasi stag
#

ye

indigo sequoia
#

never knew that

#

what is a good benchmarking site

quasi stag
#

techpowerup

indigo sequoia
#

alright man

#

thanks for everything

#

you've been a tremendous help

quasi stag
#

NP and hope you win lots of games with the pc
