You still talk with your bro? No need to rush your build. Its summer - enjoy the heat.Not great, but I'm holding on. Thanks for asking

Yeah, I’ve been lazy. Part of me wants to sell off the 4090 in prep for the 5090. But we’ll see.
Me and my bro aren’t close at the moment. He’s busy with his new marriage and the declined gifts shyt. We’re not enemies, but we’re not good.

No monitor, gonna game with a controller so just a simple mouse and pad with suffice
Back when I had my PC built, I screwed myself by going with Intel over AMD. The PSU is slightly under what it should be. I've got an Intel 13700 and a 4090FE. My PSU is a 750W SFX.
Sometimes under heavy load (mainly when playing COD), the GPU stops working.

I was definitely looking into intel but everything I’ve been researching has been saying go with the Ryzen 7 instead

It comes down to what your goal is. Are you looking to just turn it on and do what you want to do with the least amount of tweaking, go Ryzen. If you want to overclock, undervolt, adjust, test, adjust some more to get everything you possibly can out of your setup, that’s where INTEL comes into play. Well specifically the K SKU CPU’s.
just got an i9 rtx 4080 lenevo legion 7
ghost of tsushima, is hitting at 120-150 fps with ultra settings, DSSL5, (244hz) 67C temp
this is wild. granted its an older game but still
my 3070ti was getting 58 fps on high settings (60hz) 88C temp, and I was proud of it, but now... i dont think i can go back
once you get those **80 series, yeesh. its another world.

I love you, you know.
I’m finally gonna start building one.
I recommend using PCPartPicker and YouTube as resources
I dropped the GPU power target to 80% and I'm still getting this issue.
The problem could be:
- The PSU is faulty
- The custom PSU cables are faulty

The problem is your power supply itself. Even with the undervolt on your GPU, you’re still pulling anywhere from 600-650 watts between just your CPU and GPU. Spikes are always going to happen as well. You’re not giving yourself any headroom with that PSU.

Newegg still a great source for parts?
