I built a computer in these times.. but was I lucky?

For everything new I think it's good.

"0 entries" ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

I'd advise checking if you could get a 32GB or even a 64GB kit for a bit cheaper 2nd hand, since the prices of new DDR5 ram kits are through the roof right now because of the AI boom. Facebook marketplace around my area has loads that are at least a bit cheaper, but maybe you could find a steal!

"The question is.. is it worth it?"
It´s gonna depend on what specs did you have before update, so you can copare the "tech jump" between both pcs

btw; did you check upcases and downcases in GA link? remeber are sensitive

Definitely worth it. I should have upgraded a year ago, before prizes went crazy

I've got not a clue about what's going on here, but congrats on the computer, I wish I had one.

Anyone else find a group giveaway for Hollow Head while bruteforcing? :D
Tried 64 most likely options, none of them were the solution.

edit: and with 32 more options found an old region restricted giveaway for STRIDER

A pc is only as worth and good as how quick game developing progression goes (not fast) or until something breaks down.

In the 90's you had to keep up every time, with ram, cga/ega/vga, soundblaster, megabyte/gigabyte/terrabyte drives, printers, cd/dvd rom etc etc.

Mobo is good.
Ram, i'm not a huge fan of adata. But considering the current market, guess we can't be picky. It's still a decent option.
PSU is great.
CPU is great.
Liquid Cooler i don't care honestly and not really my thing as i prefer air cooling. So consider this as no feedback.
Case looks nice, haven't explored the specifications though. So it has the looks at least.
SSD is meh... This might be the worst component you bought.
GPU is meh... This might be the worst component you bought. (After writting all that stuff that comes after this, i would consider the GPU the worst element in your build)

So considering what i said here, SSD should be fine, it just isn't peak performance. I don't think it will matter much unless next gen games work like PS5 games, where SSD technology is important. Kingston is known for having SSDs that struggle to maintain performance in the long run when you are using them constantly. On top of that, durability is also not their best suit, so life expectancy is shorter than other similar components from other brands, such as WD, which is usually the goat for affordable pricing/performance/durability.

GPU, it offers decent performance, but this is the typical 8GB upgrade issue i see occuring when people make builds, specially when people go with Nvidia. 8gb and future proofing make no sense, unless you are planning to play indie games only. 8GB is bare minimum currently, and some games already suffer performance issues due to limited VRAM, which is why 10gb or 12GB is recommended. For future proofing, you would want 16GB or 20GB. All depends on what performance tier you go for. The GPUs i would recommended currently that could be somewhere around the same price point or a bit higher (250-450€):

New = 9060XT 16gb / 5060 ti 16gb
Previous generation and possibly used = 7800XT / 4060 ti 16gb
Even older and 100% used = 6800 / 6800XT (6900 XT / 6950 XT / 3090 / 3090 ti if you can find a decent price for any of these, i saw a 6950XT for 500€ once like a year ago from a spanish store online, the GPU was out of stock and not being produced anymore, i was thinking on buying it but ended up ignoring it).

Any of these cards should keep up with next generation consoles, not on a 1:1 basis but all of them should offer performance relatively close to what a PS6 could potentially offer. I think PS6 will define the standard in terms of specs for next generation games, i believe Sony is not seeking for a significant performance leap but more so an affordable system. But considering the current market with RAM, if this continues the same trend for years, then Sony will have to change the specs on their system and potentially even delay the system because the price point will be much higher as RAM is too expensive right now. There is also the factor about a playstation handheld being the playstation 6 (or both existing as playstation 6), a handheld being a weaker system, games will have to be adapted to that hardware.

For that price, you wouldn't be able to assemble half of your PC in my country, it was totally worth it.

Hello! Gratula az új géphez, remélem jól fog szolgálni, ahhoz képest milyen RAM árak vannak most elég jól elkaptad. Mondjuk az én esetemben a 32GB az nem lenne elég, de nem is csak Gamingre használom a gépet! Kellemes karácsonyt és boldog új évet!
"Hello! Congratulations on the new machine, I hope it will serve you well, considering the RAM prices you got it pretty well. Let's say in my case 32GB wouldn't be enough, but I don't use the machine only for Gaming! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

Awesome build, might have been a good idea to get the 9600x for like 10$ more with vastly better performance and power efficiency.

Other then that looks pretty solid, enjoy!

unfortunately the ssd is a QLC, you can find a tier list

A new PC is always something worth celebrating so now you should get drunk and dance.

I would try to get a 5060 Ti if it doesn't cost much more: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-5060-Ti-vs-Nvidia-RTX-3070-Ti/4183vs4116
I see that you get a used 3070 Ti so if it is a lot cheaper then I guess it is not a bad deal, but the 5060 Ti is more future proof. You could also check a Radeon card with more RAM in the same price range.

It'll be worth it. And it seems like really decent hardware. The issue nowadays is more of durability since games are getting crazy faster and the "AI" bubble is making upgrading pricier. But I'm sure you'll get years of great bombastic fun out of it before you have to worry about all that.

Congrats!

Congratz specs are decent. When i was in school 2013 i had core 2 duo 2gb ram with 1gb card and wanted to buy a good pc to play latest games, but now i am stuck with i7 12gb ram and 4 gb gpu. I got very little time to play games and it all got suck by esport title like cs2. Life is funny, i got money to buy pc but very little time(mostly weekends)to play games. Just sharing my story :)

bump

Looks good. The ram latency of CL36 is kind of high (DDR5 6000 CL30 is generally what's recommended), but considering how crazy ram prices have become I'd say it's still a win overall. :)

Price wise that's really good for what you got. Nice job!!! Might have to bump graphics down if you like higher frames when playing anything super new but solid build for most games on the market.
