Official Thread New PC Hardware Discussion. POST YOUR RIG/SETUP.

The 7800x3d. In gaming there is like an 18%-30% uplift against the the 5800. If Building a new rig go with the 7800x3d.
If building a new computer go with the 7800X3D. The AM4 socket is dead but if you already have an AM4 MB like me it makes more sense to go with the 5800X3D. Again for a brand new build 7800X3D all the way.
Building something new. Going from a pc that was kitbashed from a friend. Worked great, but need something that could do both art work and some gaming.

I’ve sinned and brought upon me a 4090, coming from a 760. Got six tb of storage. And a case. And that’s about it lol. Waiting on paying off half of the gpu before a move forward unless I see a really good deal.

I feel like I bite off more than I could chew 😆 was trying to base my build on what an artist, whom I follow, built….below is what they used

Did you buy this? If so congrats and love for going all out.

If this is still in your cart, hold up a sec.
 
Well the consoles flat out can't do path tracing, or even a high form of ray tracing either without 30fps or other downgrades. At 4k into that and the gulf in quality and performance is even bigger vs a high spec gaming PC.

You specifically mentioned path tracing so I was alluding to that.
Oh yeah I get that I was just talking about console settings vs PC in most games, very few games seem to even have path tracing as an option right now.

Approved.

 
Haven’t bought anything from the list, that’s what the artist bought, which I was gonna use as a reference.

Take it ya got some suggestions?
I can't make suggestions because I'm in Canada so when I click the links it oddly tells me "this link will take you away from Youtube are you sure blah blah"

Which is weird because I'm not on Youtube......

Anyway I can't see the prices because it takes me to amazon.ca

Sounds like a fantastic build though.
