No, going all out. I need that 5090. I figure $5k is a good budget for a top of the line PC build. I'm a off?

The only thing I'd miss would be the dual sense features. I wonder would Sony allow that?
$5k? for top-tier? No way. $5k will, however, build you something great.

TOTL builds start at $10k and run full circuit Liquid cooling.

Probably future proof, fuk it. I want everything
My 4090 build cost about 3k (Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 64GB DDR5, Crucial P3 4TB NVME), but I already had a case and OLED. Assuming Nvidia ain't taxing you should be able to get all the way right with 5k.

Can you run 4k, 60fps minimum, and ray tracing on demanding games?


If I go 5090, I'm probably looking at $6500.

All dual sense features work on PC PS5 ports. 5k will be enough for the PC but not with monitor. 5090 is worth it cuz you're gonna want 4k 144hz with Raytracing. 60hz vs 144hz is night and day.

It depends on the game. The most taxing game I got is probably Alan Wake 2 and I can do 4k on ultra with ray tracing but I'm getting 20-30 fps. If I enable DLSS and frame generation I get 60FPS+

I wanna get a 5090 because I need that 4k90 :takedat:

On PC builder I had a 4090 build that was around $5000.

Liquid cooling don't make a PC top of the line.

No, what makes a PC top of the line is the components in the build. The GPU is only one component of that.

On the subject of liquid cooling in high-end builds:

"Top of the line" parts, like a Threadripper 3990x CPU, cost a grip and cooling them can be a challenge depending on the case and load stress the CPU is being put under. Hence, why "Top-of-the-line" builds almost always include liquid cooling. Can you get away with not using it? Sure. But if you're already spending $4,500 on a CPU and $2,500 on a GPU, why not run a full-circuit setup?

Yeah Liquid don't last long though. I've heard of builds being destroyed because of leaking components.

Threadripper is worse than a lot of cheaper CPU's in gaming benchmarks. no point buying one for a gaming PC

Water cooling are for nikkas that look like this and smell like mountain dew and poor hygiene :scust:

Threadrippers are not designed for gaming. They are data-muncher CPUs. Buying one for gaming is a complete waste.

As someone with experience with LC builds, the maintenance on them can be a nightmare. Pretty to look at; and worth it if you're spending a fortune on parts to overclock to the hilt. But a nightmare nonetheless.
