Not sure if this is the right place, but I actually have some PC parts that need a new home and was wondering if there was a thread for that since there was a thread of someone selling off their PC's and other computer related equipment when their company went under. For those curious it's an AMD CPU and MOBO combo. Ryzen 7 5800x ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus Asking price is $800 since that's what it came out to with tax. All parts are brand new and I can provide pictures if necessary.

Schwann posted:I built a PC about 8-9 years ago and the video card just died. Given it is not the best time to build a PC, would I be better off replacing the video card in my current build with a similar spec cheap video card or replace the entire system? At this time I only do light gaming like WoW and some RPGs that are not demanding. I game on a DELL U2412M 1900 x 1200 display. I have another HP monitor as secondary. Given the age of the rig, I'd say it may need to be rebuilt since most older cards are a pain to get and get easily walloped by some newer cards that aren't too hard to find. It all depends on the budget. Then again if all you're playing is WoW then I'm not sure.

Can someone recommend me a good semi-modular 850w to 900w PSU? Gonna be doing some slight upgrades and this is one that's needed. Also, is there any relevance to the rankings system with bronze, silver, gold, platinum besides efficiency if I recall? If I can keep it below $150(preference is for $110) even better.

FlamingLiberal posted:I am using a Corsair RMx 850 right now and it works fine. It’s one of the better rated PSUs. Forgot to add that it needs to be semi-modular. Reason being that most of the time I've had issues with full modular ones where they don't post due to the CPU not getting power or something to that effect since they don't have the cable for it and I need to buy one. That said, I'll definetly keep this one in mind. Also, they have the i9 10900k for $445 at my local Microcenter and while I know the Ryzen's are doing better this Gen, my old rig ran an i7 7700k which was upgraded from an i7 4790k with no need for any Windows reinstall hence my preference to the Intel's. Thoughts? Found these two PSU's and want to know which one to go with.

Butterfly Valley posted:This seems an arbitrary and dumb reason to not choose a processor. It's possible to change the motherboard and cpu on an AMD based system without having to reinstall windows too. Possibly, but I've heard so much mixed stuff in terms of how to go about doing things that I'd rather not risk it and gently caress my stuff up so I went with the i9 over the Ryzen. It helps that the prices and performances are pretty much identical at this point with a slight edge going for the Ryzen. I dunno, I just want to gut my current build and swap out the mobo and cpu and start it without running into any issues like I did last time. I was also able to score a REALLY good mobo for it on sale so I'm happy with it. I also went with the Seasonic over the EVGA since it was a Gold. This does put some of my other upgrade plans on hold, but I can live with that. Edit: Yes I'm aware it's arbitrary and kind of dumb, but I have read of people running into SOME issues involving crashes and for that I'd rather just keep Intel where BIOS should effectively be the same if not similar. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Feb 6, 2021 |

ghostinmyshell posted:Are the Micro Center prebuilds garbage? That might be my only hope now in getting a 5900x/3080 system. And I have to buy 2 since my wife expects gaming parity these days. I've seen the spec sheets on them and they're actually really solid where it matters. If you're curious you can actually read the specs list and it'll give you all the details. Your only issue might be overkill in terms of what you'll need for CPU and the overall cost being high, but the parts quality is pretty solid. Of topic, but I have a GTX 1080 Zotac AMP Extreme I may sell, but I'm not sure I have the original box and its materials so I have no idea how much I can sell it for now since the sold ones kn Ebay have the full set.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:Post the build you’re looking at for the best info from people here. Knowing micro center they’re probably fine, and if you have the cash to flush out 2x 5900x/3080 prebuilts my guess is you can afford to change whatever is poo poo in the box. To add to this, the only real components that I've seen that I'd maybe change in the Microcenter builds are the PSU and the cooling since I couldn't find info on the so it's possible they may be proprietary. But even then those are not hard things to change. But yeah like Bowman said, if good parts went in and it turns on then you're fine.

Question, besides pure unfiltered Flex, is there any reason to buy a 3090? This is assuming the current issues stay since the scalping mark-up on the 3080's is so impossibly hosed, it actually makes these cards look enticing viable by comparison. With that asked, is ShopBLT a good place to buy from? Ditto for Tiger Direct?

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:3090 is about a 15%-20% increase over the 3080 in gaming performance, which doesn’t justify the price. Yeah that last part is basically what I meant at this current junction the 3090 looks appealing because HOLY poo poo THOSE SCALPING PRICES BATMAN!

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:My advice is to breathe and wait out the scalpers. Paying the scalped price is not worth it. Unless it’s for a work related thing, and they’re going to reimburse you, you will live if you can’t play cyberpunk at 4k max settings for a month or two. Yeah I agree. gently caress that noise with the scalper. It's just frustrating since all this poo poo may have also driven the price up on the regular cards which sucks. I DID backorder a Gigabyte 3090 Eagle from ShopBLT just to see what happens(orders were at 320 and receiving was like 250), but the instant a 3080 shows up for MSRP and it's not scalped then it's mine. I'm honestly not expecting ANYTHING out of that ShopBLT thing due to the demand issues, but figured why not. And it is a decent card from what I've read online.

I was right there on the page. Clicked the loving thing and everything. When it stopped, it told me sold out on both the 3080 and 3090. Am bummed. I might actually try and buy a PS5 and parlay that into 3080 or something since I have seen some people accept those as trades.

I found and EVGA 3080 for $1100 on FB. Guy is selling it via app pay(cash app, venmo, PayPal maybe too) which I have very mixed feelings about, but this reminded me, what even IS the MSRP for these things right now? The scalper price has effectively erased any knowledge on what would be the regular price on these.

spunkshui posted:like 800-1000 depending on the card. Looks like it was sold and the remaining listing was for the 3060. I did find another guy selling an ASUS 3090 for $2100 which is...not horrid and seems open to negotiations. It's still a fuckload of money, but still for an ASUS STRIX 3090...Hmmm... This again begs the question of what the regular MSRP for these was since ShopBLT where I got most of this info doesn't even list them anymore so I have nothing to go by.

spunkshui posted:3090 strix is a retail $2000 card and strix cards go for more then the other cards when scalped. Definetly feel that. There are some protections in place though like the buyer protection that FB seems to offer and he also seems to do PayPal which also has strict buyer protections in place. The PayPal aspects are nice since I'd prefer to buy via credit card since it allows me time to actually get some finances in order. A 3080 would be preferable due to it's lower cost, but the scalp market on those is just hosed up right now.

Kragger99 posted:It seems 80% of the builds lists here are going with AMD CPU (I'm mostly referring to the 5600x-5900x). Is it preferred over intel (10850k/10900k) because it's more efficient/generates less heat? Are there other factors? Both of those on top of better single core speeds-assuming memory serves well-which are important for gaming. I think the margin of error with I tel is like 5% so an Intel one will get the job done just the same, but AMD is preferred here. I do think there was some data where Intel is better for work stations or stuff where you're running multiple things at once like streaming and such, but again the margin of error is low and overall for gaming the slight edge is on AMD. This is all assuming 5600 and 5800 though, and I think the 5900 was better all around I think. GPU's is an entirely different story and Nvidia is the Conqueror Worm there.

feedback loop posted:It's the opposite, actually - the i9s can outperform the new Ryzen models in some games, but the Ryzens absolutely smoke any Intel chip for non-gaming tasks. It's not even close. Wait really?! I had always been told the reverse! Well drat. That shakes off my negative feelings about trading off my 5800x for a 10900kf(saved $50). Ok now I'm confused, but gently caress it I only paid $400 for this card and got a monster mobo for a really good price so I'm not complaining.

CDWG seems like they have stock of prebuilts and some knowledgeable reps on the subject I dunno...apparently he only needs like 5 PC's and 3k can make that happen. Granted in my mind it's happening in terms of buying the parts and building the PC's themselves which could actually be pretty loving awesome to do since it actually teaches them how to build and maintain them.

Microcenter is close by in Paterson, but not within public transit so I'm screwed unless I can get a ride from someone.
