shyt is crazy. I'm gonna have to buy this OriginPC this weekend before I have to spend $12k on it. These tariffs are such fukking bullshyt. The 5090s were supposed to be $2k, now they are $3k. They are gonna be $4k in a week. Nvidia better have a factory in the US moving forward. $4k for a gpu is insane. That's why I'm buying a prebuild. I'll spend the $9k, have it all water cooled and get the warranty and labor (not that I'll need that). Still I'm not really looking forward to dropping $10k on a pc this weekend. I'm selling all my old shyt and the auctions end Saturday. I'll make a cool $4k or $5k, so the extra $5k is no big deal.

By the way auctions are the way to go on ebay. People bid on this shyt like crazy. I'm selling my Seasonic 1600w and it's onlyh at $103 right now. So I might take a loss with that, but my 14900k and 4090 are going for great prices. I also put my waterblocks on auction, and I'm only getting like $50 for them. Another loss, but how else am I supposed to sell them?

All I know is that this OriginPC better be the best fukking thing in the world. It better be plug and play like nothing. Spending $10k on a pc is crazy, but I normally spend $8k on builds I build myself. What's an extra $2k for no hassle and a warranty? Whatever, I'm just gonna throw money at the issue.

LMK if you have another GPU for sale. I'm still on the 1080s I copped from you. Should have been upgraded, but I'm cheap and lazy

Just sold my 2 year old Strix 4090 for $2.2k free 5090 upgrade

Not trying to rain on your parade but what 5090 are you planning to get for $2200?

Why? The 5090 aint even worth it. PC gamers just throwing money away just to have the latest tech?

People spend money to have the latest and greatest in literally all facets of life. Why should PC gaming be any different? Some people find value in it, and others don’t. Not a big deal really.

Its not throwing away money, if you really want it

Because u paying damn near double the price for a product, thats why. nikkas wanna throw their money away then

I just figured nikkas would be smart enough not to buy something doubled its price. Jokes on me

I forgot that nikka gave away his 4090 becauae of health reasons. Now he trying to get back on the scene at the worse time

I mean the fact of the matter is, if you're an enthusiast gamer in this climate, you're dropping a bag no matter what.

Used 40 series is still tax too, so where does it become "worth it". You want that 4K/Max settings, you gotta pay up. Now if we wanna talk budget builds, that's a different conversation.

Worrying about how other mfs spend their money is pocket-watching at a nasty level

If your an enthusiast then u already have the 4090 and would be smart not paying double for the 5090 for a 30% boost. Not worth it all.

Trust, i did the same shyt every year since the 1080. This is the first time i will be skipping a generation due to price and the fact the 4090 can handle anything thrown at it..

Finally got my PC back from Micro Center, had them replace the mobo and rebuild it. Honestly I should’ve had them build it from the jump. My PC looks now and it runs quieter. shyt sounded like a PS4 running GTA V before.
