#

asked him to redo and sent me this

#

i was wondering is there anywhere to save on money but not on gaming performance

#

Something like the AMD 7800X3D would be a far better idea than Intels offering at the mo for gaming - which is what you stated it'd be for
Also for gaming you most certainly wouldnt not need that pricey a motherboard (though that exact mobo would be amoot point if you went for the AMD anyway)

blazing arrow Aug 28, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

oh really. but i take it its worth getting a wifi 7 board over the 6e

wispy widget Aug 28, 2024, 8:59 PM

#

Does your router support wifi 7?

wispy widget Aug 28, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

And you could save money by not going for the expensive MB, OTT on the RAM, etc

#

And I'd agree with Rakk, if your focus is gaming, 7800X3D should be the CPU

spice hare Aug 29, 2024, 8:29 PM

#

I think you'd need a very fast internet to really feel the difference to WiFi 7, as WiFi 6 already allows speed up to 9.6 Gbit/s.
And of course you need a router that supports it, as mentioned by B4zookaw
