>>109157066was gonna upgrade to a gen 5 epyc but now that would cost me like $50k. this ram kit was $2200 back in november. 3 of those plus a 9355 and a motherboard would have been less than $10k. couldve had 1.1tb of ram. at least i have like $10k in unrealized gains from my gpus.
>>109157066I was going to stick with AM4 for a while, but when the RAM price rises started I decided it was now or likely several years before I could upgrade, so I got it done just in time in November. Made a profit on the whole deal too since 5800X3D used prices were crazy at the time and I sold my DDR4 kit for more than I paid for the new DDR5 one once prices went truly nuts. In hindsight, it was literally the perfect time to sell up since they announced the 5800X3D was re-entering production and being sold new for less than I got for mine on Ebay.

>>109165975it's my comfiest build ever. Like nothing is considered top of the line outside of the CPU which I got as part of a combo deal, I would have went with a core ultra 5 or 7. I just needed a PC, and I had the ram from a previous DDR5 build, and nvme ssd from a previous build. I spent a few days planning the layout in my case. It is a $750 case I paid my ex wife $20 for. Her parents had another PC in it, but they wanted a "normal case" so I gave them some old Antec case I had laying around. Her dad doesn't like the open design. IDK I love it. It's fast and stable and runs my games well.
5600, 6700xt, 32GB mismatched set, 2x2TB HDDs and 2x1TB NVMe SSDs. It'sOK I guess, the 6700XT is enough to play pretty much any game worth playing made in the least 10yrs at near-max settings.

>>109166735My prediction is better. I don't buy into the doomer bullshit peddled on this board or other places online. There's already an anti-trust lawsuit against the RAM cartel, there's growing FUD around the AI boom, we still have half a year left until 2027, and I doubt Big Tech will be able to keep investors in the dark about how they'll never see a return from their investments for long.I'll give it 1-2 years for shit to go back to relative normality. Nvidia and Microsoft will want to sell those RTX Spark Arm devices as well and the retarded market pricing is messing up their plans. Hell, pretty much everyone still wants to sell shit to us home consumers, but the powers that be force them to bring out older products like Nvidia bringing back the 30 series or AMD bringing back the 5000 series.If they truly wanted us to not own anything, they wouldn't be releasing RTX Spark and they wouldn't be trying to still offer us anything at all. It's just that gamers are entitled little shits and throw an emotional hissy fit the moment they cannot consoom the newest and greatest every year, so they rebel by pushing this narrative about how they want to force us to use thin clients so that we'll own nothing and be happy, even if what these companies are doing by still trying to offer us devices that can run without an Internet connection puts that conspiracy theory into question, and any attempt to explain why they're still pushing for "death of personal computing" will result in Machiavellian 4D chess outlandish bullshit where Occam's razor will prevail.

>>109168495>selling premium products at a crazy markup to gamersThe crazy markup is the result of the memory crisis, something that is starting to bite these companies in the ass. Just look at Apple.>ok you're not actually here to discuss anythingAs expected, you cannot go against the zeitgeist, you have to blindly follow the herd and never question what's being said. Any attempt to counterargue? Nah, just wave away everything said and declare victory by not willing to engage with any challenge to your worldview.Just so you know, if you keep acting like this, these companies will truly stop giving you any form of attention as you'll keep proving to them that you can no longer be appeased, you have become the nightmare customer that doesn't know what he wants, will have demands that he cannot articulate and will be upset about any product offered. If you truly cared about still wanting consumer hardware, you'd stop acting like an emotional brat and think for once, but I guess you'll have your "I TOLD YOU SO" moment and you'll be content with that.

>>109159356I tried a bunch of Linux options trying to figure out what to install on a friend's computer, and Cachy has consistently been the best for things working. When I thought something was CachyOS's fault it turned out to be the program itself. Fedora and Fedora based distros are finicky in my experience. Ubuntu is bloated and you'll run into random weird edgecases because they replace common programs and packages with their own version. The only thing is avoid the AUR until they fix the problem with Orphaned packages. The AUR is good if you know what you're doing or stick only to popular packages, and Cachy actually helps here because they moved a lot of popular AUR packages to their servers. Overall, its the best OOtB Linux experience you can get right now, especially if you're a newbie and have no specific tastes or preferences. Bazzite is a meme designed to trick gamers into moving back to Windows.

>>109173792how much did it cost? i bought a 5600 for my bro back in november for $101 which is around the same power

>>109172338I do kinda regret actually not getting the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell. I'm having so much fun running/training/fine tuning models on my computer. Yeah I could run the models in RAM, but it's annoyingly slow.
Just ordered a 250k plus, which means i unfortunately had to pay for RAM in current year, as well. It will be my forever machine.
>>109175134its not too late
>>109175144It costs like $4,000 more than last year though. Up from around $8,000. I mean I could stretch for 8k, but 12k is a little too much. That's literally more than what I paid for my car. I *could* buy it, but I'm just gonna wait until the next generation, and hope things get better.
>>109175178>I'm just gonna wait until the next generation, and hope things get better.
>>109175188Prices can't stay high forever, technology has always had a trend of getting cheaper for more power.

5950x3080ti 16gig32 gig ram that I always meant to upgrade but never did.Two 1tb nvmes that I cant remember the name of that might die on me during the crisis, otherwise I think I might just chill another five years on this build. Five years used to be my upgrade cycle.

>>109165856>before the price hikesme too. i make it a habit to buy more ram and storage whenever they're affordable and because of that I still have three 4tb ssds and numerous low latency ddr4/ddr5 kits in other systems

>>109173115Might as well piss yourself about InTelAviv. In the end the issue with 13th and 14th gen was retarded power management that was cooking the CPU's that they've fixed after multiple microcode revisions.

7700k, 32GB random DDR4, 1080, about 3TB worth of SSDs that are getting dangerously close to being full.I thought about upgrading the last few years but never went through with it because I didn't really need it, now I realize that my 10 year old 'puter has to last another 10>imagine having a 2010 rig in 2020>imagine having a 2000 rig in 2010kinda insane that I can still play everything that doesn't explicitly need RTX in 60fps
>>109176211Most modern games are shit and RTX was a nothingburger. If I were you, I'd find a nice mechanical HDD to offload your SSDs and get a 30xx Nvidia.
>>109176333is a 3080 that noticeable vs a 1080? i have a guy selling one for REALLY cheap (250 yurobucks)
>>109176534the rtx3080 is great but make sure it's not a gigabyte or evga since they have fucked up board designs and/or QC issues
>>109176534Generationally, it's probably the most cost effective. 20xx was a skippable generation as it had basically no uplift from 10xx. 30xx was a decent uplift. 40xx was a smaller uplift and 50xx a similar smaller uplift. Outside of AI or high framerate/Ultra quality I don't see a reason to upgrade from say a 3070/80. I'm running a 3090 and don't play AAA games anymore really, so I'm not thinking about another upgrade for 7-10 more years.

>>109157066I settled for a 7900, 32GB 6000MT/s, 5070, 2 TB NVMe for $1,100 a couple months ago. New old stock from Acer (I know...at least all the components are banded) via eBay.
>>109176763A work friend of mine got a similar deal on a system practically identical.
>>109176763*branded. Mobo and GPU are Gigabyte, RAM is Crucial, etc.
>>109176780It's been decent so far. I've been unemployed until a couple days ago and have been using it like 16 hours a day gayming and shitposting. I think they finally got a decent case design, because it hasn't had any issues with thermal throttling.
