Welp, I just made a Newegg order

-i9 12900K
-Asus Rog Maximus Extreme Z690
-Corsair Platinum Dominator DDR5 64gb Ram
-Seasonic Prime TX-1000 Titanium 1000w PSU
-Lian Li 011DXL-X 011 Dynamic XL ROG Certified ATX case
-Samsung 980 Pro Gen 4 M.2 2tb
-2x Samsung 870 8tb SSDs

Will buy the Nvidia RTX 4090 in October, when available. I’m gonna custom water cool it with EK shyt once they release the 4090 water block. There’s a cool custom pump/reservoir that is custom made for the Lian Li case I got that makes tubing super easy:

EK-Quantum Reflection² PC-O11D XL D5 PWM D-RGB - Plexi

EK-Quantum Reflection² distro-plate for the Lian Li O11D XL case

Money is no issue.. rog wants premium price for everything! I was looking for a particular setup!!! Lian li was most definitely on my radar!! Maybe for my 4090 build

Xmp in the bios 🫡

New amd zen 4 cpus reviews are out. Too bad the x670 motherboards and ddr5 are priced ridiculously. I blame nvidia

 

[Him]

fukk it, got the new Ryzen CPU and Mobo combo off new egg. I desperately need to built a new PC . Just need to get a case, some ram, nvme drives, and a cooler .

Probably gonna go with a 3080 or 4080 card too.

I’m going all in since my last build was in 2016.

inflation is real. especially with shyt that had a low profit margin in the first place

 

[Liu Kang]

So with those 40xx prices, Nvidia pushing people to buy 30xx stocks right ? I have a 1660ti and have been wanting to get a better card for a couple of years. I would buy a AMD card but they don't do any raytracing

If next year, shyt's still the same, I'll cope a 3080
