in todays world you have to re mortgage the house to build a pc!!! and with all of the issues with intel with the i9 series and the core ultra series now is a hell of a time to be building a pc
. thankfully i had no issues!!! i'm gonna keep this thing for 6 years i think...Yeah, pricing for top of the line hardware is outrageousin todays world you have to re mortgage the house to build a pc!!! and with all of the issues with intel with the i9 series and the core ultra series now is a hell of a time to be building a pc
also anther reason i went with top of the line hardware i want to hold onto it for a while.
also from what i heard from a tech friend of mine. alot of motherboards don't support 5th gen ssd speeds in the m.2 slots on the board itself they need a pcie card connected to a 5th gen pcie slot. just another thing to consider...
That's what I've always done. Even the bill I'm working off of now that I'm upgrading, I built that four years ago and spent about $5500 but that was a ground up build. Case, power supply, etc. just the cost of the newest processor and motherboard alone would be way above what I spent last time. Well worth it, no question. But that's money. I can't afford to spend on a computer right now and maybe not for a while.
Agreed. I've shied away from Watercooling, and with AMD, in the past, I had higher CPU temps than with Intel. I could go back to AMD, but then I'd be more inclined to switch to Water and water in a PC still freaks my old-school butt out
you would need to water cool a 14900k as well... when i game the pc turns into a space heater LOL
when i built mine i just told myself i'm never going to build another pc and this was my last one
. i also told myself that if i was going to dump money into it i might as well build another new one instead of dumping money into this one and convert this one to an E-mail machine!!! it's not cheap building a pc right now it's even worse if you want flagship parts like me.. my ram upgrade is over 400 bucks on top of what i already spent!!! it just made more sense to spend a boat load of money now and cry a little than not to and cry harder later on 
so i am curious whats your thoughts on the 60 series cards when they come out??? i think a 6090 will be 6k
WAY out of my leagueso i am curious whats your thoughts on the 60 series cards when they come out??? i think a 6090 will be 6k
I wouldn't be surprised if you get there with your current build (including stuff you ultimately hand-me-down).more than id'e be willing to spend
i'm not building nooo more pc's my 5090 should be good for a few years before i have to bend over the barrel and get raped by nvidia
. both of my builds are extream pc's so no need to add more or change anything out just yet!!! i did change some things on the newer build to keep the cost down but used the same board and cpu incase something happens i am not talking about apples and oranges lol. even the build with the 5070 is an extream machine!!! old lady is coming off a 4 core amd from 2020 junk now it's showing it's age even after upgrading it to 32 gigs of ram
