Lemme whip up a pcpp

Maybe something Like this

I didn’t include monitor or hard drives

I also just went with nvidia though you can get a 5700xt as well for roughly equal performance to a 2070/2070s

Not sure what your workload is like you can also upgrade the CPU to a 3700X if you need more threads

I’d definitely get a higher refresh rate monitor if you’re planning on gaming

sweet ty
this is pretty close to what i was lookin at
whats your reason for amd processors btw? better value?
intel i9 are expensive as f*k

yeah its just better value to get AMD CPUs right now. Unless you’re hardcore into gaming and literally nothing else, where a 9700K or 9900K would be a bit better

i’m worried if i get a better monitor it will ruin my eyes forever

Right now I have a 1080p Curved VA 144Hz monitor for gaming, and a 1440p 60Hz IPS for watching movies n stuff. Def want to get a 144Hz 1440p IPS tho to replace my current 1080p VA

Do they have RGB illumination in nippon

are you gonna try this

new shit coming out

intel released their 10-series desktop parts
amd will release refreshed zen2 cpus and ryzen 4000 should be out soon-ish
nvidia will release new GPUs later this year

Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3090 leaked

Apparently just the cooling solution that leaked costs them $150 to manufacture or something wild

lol @ the intro to this ltt vid

its an ad for seasonic but they don’t even show the power supply in the vid iirc

mister taxi what’s the latest on SSDs? samsung still top? is m2 still legit?

Latest is PCIe 4.0 which is currently only available on AMD x570 platform and i think probably threadripper. Of course you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a PCIe 3 nvme drive and a PCIe 4 nvme drive unless you had a specific I/O bottleneck before.

Samsung is always the #1 name but I never buy them because they’re overpriced. For the average user, basically any SSD that has a DRAM cache is good enough for a primary boot drive and for storage you can cheap out even further and you probably won’t notice a difference (except for initial defect rates I guess)

idk if i posted it elsewhere but this is the neckbeard tower i got
they didnt have faster ram etc so i did what i could shrug

Did you actually need a DVD drive or it just came with one because japan lolz

tbh all the info i know about ssds i’ve learned from reddit lol

those overclockable sandy bridge -> haswell parts are still relevant

Just nabbed 2x 1080Tis from a dude for under $1000 canadian

gonna try to sell at least one for like $600
