if your gaming on a desktop get a amd cpu gives you better performance and more upgradeability
spare aurora
youre telling me i need to throw away my legacy of intel
cosmic hemlock
7800X3D or 9800X3D
There is some other cost alternatives but the two above are the most common
jade osprey
I've been using Intel since 2007, and unless they really get their finger out my next machine will be AMD
cosmic hemlock
I always backed them too brother
but sometimes we gotta turn our backs on those we love the most for them to change
spare aurora
poetic
cosmic hemlock
real talk g
but gaming wise go AMD brother
the X3D is a beautiful CPU for gaming
spare aurora
well iv to figure out a build w that now 😴
cosmic hemlock
Make sure your ram is 6000mhz, get a 360 cooler AIO (if you prefer them over air coolers) and X3D and chose a graphics card
which I will and always be team nvidia
spare aurora
nvidia on top easy
cosmic hemlock
100% although my friend does have a 9070XT and it performs very well with no issues
Are you wanting to whip up a build yourself and come back to us to see if theres anything we would change or pick out or you looking us to throw one at ya boss
spare aurora
i mean i can go either or
i sure wouldnt mind being given one
hopefully within that same 1500-2000 range, i js wanna stream to my 1.2 viewers
i play practically performance mode on all my competitive games anyway just want my frames stable and not to drop my performance cancerously over obs😭
spare aurora
thats all i rly care about honestly
again, love intel but if its worth the change for my case, il do it

Space to juggle some parts if you wanted more space etc
spare aurora
currency sent me a lil bit but its ok
cosmic hemlock
I is UK
cosmic hemlock
and no operating systems a bold move
Saves you a penny but you can add it back if you need it 🙂
spare aurora
well i kinda need one dont i
cosmic hemlock
Do you currently have a computer? 🙂
cosmic hemlock
Ok then add windows again bud
spare aurora
that + needed storage kinda drives me a bit high but
il take looks at what i can do
thick coral
You could always go with a single drive and then buy a second drive later when you have the funds for it. Personally, I'd want a faster drive for the OS drive..something like the Corsair MP600...it's a 1TB drive so would still have a decent amount of space till you get a second drive and if you buy with just that single drive, it will not push the budget up more
spare aurora
i got other thangs to buy yall so il see what i do </3
spare aurora
question for the crowd, is the 5060 ti - 5070/ 5070 ti worth the change for my situation
itd be great to save where possible so i feel i may as well ask😴
spare aurora
iv figured i may as well just spend the extra money here and there to not have to upgrade for longer and whatnot,

had to change my ram because the other one js doesnt exist anymore for wtvr reason but
thats the gameplan
cosmic hemlock
had to change my ram because the other one js doesnt exist anymore for wtvr reas...
RAM should be 6000
spare aurora
well i was hoping so
but it said the ram i had selected was discontinued
so uh
i went to the next best thing that didnt ram me up to 2,800
unless i missed one that was cheap enough but i was looking
jade osprey
Unfortunately RAM prices are sky-rocketing at the mo 🙁
spare aurora
im sure i can js run 5,600 til i have money to go up bruh😴
sly leaf
yeah 5600 is fine x3d cpus do help out a bit with ram speeds due to their vcache
jade osprey
I woudl save it as aquote if I were you, in case the prices continue to go horribly upwards - quotes last for 5 days as long as everything is still in stock
spare aurora
it is an edited quote dw
spare aurora
officially purchased, now we wait😴
winter kiln
officially purchased, now we wait😴
Hey brother yes I know the ram we selected was discontinued but if u check again there is the ARGB version of it and it seems cheaper. Have a look and see. The 2x16GB CL30 6000mhz is way faster and will benefit ur games more
And also why is no one talking about the psu wattage? Is that really enough? I know the website approves it before u process the order but pls someone have a look
Btw if u took off the operating system u would save around £70 which can be used to get the better ram. Ur pc will still be sent with windows and all the drives u need. Only thing u would need is to activate windows if u want to and it’s around £0.30 for a key
