I know it's divisive for some but I personally have had good experiences with cyberpowerpc premades. The prices aren't scalper and I got my 3080 and 3090 systems recently through them.
Absolute beauty of a build, is that the O1D ? Looks amazing. Love the stormtrooper vibe. Enjoy!Finished building my PC this past weekend......
Damn....just realized how twisted my GPU power cables are. Really happy with it though. Runs Elden Ring like a dream.
Decided to save some money with an air cooler for the CPU since it is the 5600X. Runs fine. Very quiet for a CPU fan. It is the Scythe Mugen 5. Got tired of seeing colors so went with static white fans to give the whole rig a black/white stormtrooper look to it.

Sort that cable if you haven't
If you didn't buy the hardware yet, you would want a RTX 3090/3090 Ti for ultra+ raytracing. Small tweaks to settings? Then you could shoot for a 3080/3080 Ti. 6800 XT from AMD is fine minus the raytracing part, but good for everything else you want. Far as monitors go I'd say the Gigabyte M32u.
Imo just send it back and wait for 4000 series... Sorry to hear that man. 2080 is good enough to last you a bit longer.
NVME speeds is aces. Congrats on the upgrade. I don't wanna spend $450 on that 5800X3D either, but I'm hoping Best Buy will price match the Microcenter $50 off coupon so I can get it $400. If not, I'll wait and take a trip to Microcenter and grab it. I am interested to see how limited the 583D is.Ordered an nvme ssd finally to replace my sata drive. Going from a 1tb to this 2tb gen 4 drive : Wd black 770
Seemed like easily the best value. Only getting it now because someone bought my sata drive and paid me what I paid for it to install it for them and clean their PC.
Next I will get the zen 3 cpu and then my PC will be solid sans gpu upgrades for a long time
I must admit that 5800x3d is really better than I thought and I am debating to get that instead of 5700x and put an all in one liquid cooler on it. But I don't want to spend $450 so I will wait a bit.
Did you DDU and try to reinstall the drivers? Sounds like a driver issue for it to keep crashing in games like Maifia and Red Dead. Or you could be unlucky and got a bad card that needs to be RMA'd.
Whats DDU? I did not reinstall the drivers, but I will try that.
Yeah this is the thing... Maybe this cpu will be very limited and I'll feel stupid if I wait for sale then it just becomes like the Intel 8086k lol.
Sorry for late response. I fell asleep right after replying, haha. Display Driver Uninstaller completes the remove previous drivers like a fresh new baby. It also helps to block windows for installing an older version of drivers. Especially for AMD. Here is a video to help you use it.
I was gung-ho to purchase on launch. I might wait for a slight minute, but I'm so indecisive I may go to Best Buy to see if they price match. I'll keep you updated!Yeah this is the thing... Maybe this cpu will be very limited and I'll feel stupid if I wait for sale then it just becomes like the Intel 8086k lol.
Or is that what they want us to think
Let us know if they price match that for you!
GreatnessRD
suggested doesn't work out, before you ship anything away I'd suggest checking your ram. The fact it's not always consistent points to it being either a driver or ram-related issue. If you already checked the ram disregard but sometimes the simplest solution is the first to get overlooked.
Thanks. I will give it a shot, but even using DDU and reinstalling all drivers from scratch didnt work. Matrix still crashes. RDR2 still crashes. Didnt even bother running cyberpunk this morning.If using DDU as
Have you tried running things with just one stick of ram? First pull the sticks and inspect the DIMM slots for damage with a flashlight (pic related). If it looks alright, run a single stick in your primary DIMM slot and see if things crash, then try the other and repeat. If it crashes with one but not the other you have a bad stick or a broken DIMM which can manifest itself in a variety of errors and crashes that often don't make sense and may not be consistent. If you do see anything that looks damaged don't put a stick back in the slot as you'll short out the other stick too.
My old X99 mobo had one of the eight DIMM slots cracked from the factory that shorted out the ram. For the first few years I had the PC running my 980ti everything ran flawlessly, not one CTD that wasn't my own doing in that entire time. Then I bought a 2080ti and moved everything into a new case. After that my system started crashing when running newer games or photoshop, but ran fine otherwise. I assumed it was the new GPU as it was the only part change I'd made. I ruled out PSU as my PSU was a 1200W unit in good working order and ruled out overheating as my CPU temps never top 45C and my GPU temps on the 2080ti never reach 60C and the radiator is outside the case. That left ram, a loose connection or drivers. I realized I had fully disassembled the PC to clean everything before moving it to the new case so I checked to make sure everything was properly seated. Eventually I noticed the faint stress marks on my primary DIMM slot, pushing on it revealed it bowed under minimal pressure.
I replaced the mobo and the affected stick of ram and didn't have any more problems
Would this setup run any current game with ultra settings at 60 fps+?
As always, it depends on the game and resolution. AT 1440p, a 3090 should give you well above 60 fps. Evan at 4K. At 1080p, unless you get a 360 Hz monitor, you are just wasting money with a 3090.
Aside from Microsoft flight simulator and Cyberpunk, yeah. lol. DLSS for sure is going to have to be your friend with ultra raytracing involved.
How long would this setup last? until the next upgrade?
That totally depends on the incoming games. Should last you quite awhile with that said however. But unless you absolutely need something right this second, doesn't make sense to buy with the new CPUs and GPUs coming by end of the year.
Not likely to be hurt. Just add a 3rd a connector and all should be good.
This isnt the best advice. Upgrade now if you can afford it. We have this window of good GPU availability that can evaporate at any second. It’s pretty silly to assume that we won’t have unavailable GPUs when the next gen is released. There is every reason to believe that their could be supply issues for next gen.
Also, what power supply are you using? Now that I think about it, it shouldn’t cause major issues two have 2 connectors functioning as 3. It’s always recommended to have separate cables for each port, but I doubt the power draw of the card would cause that to be a major issue unless you have a crappy/underpowered PSU. Either way, the next step is obvious, have all 3 plugs run separate.
That's why I said if he/she needed something now, upgrade. And if he/she didn't, then wait till the new stuff comes out. They're trying to have ultra settings with raytracing. The new architecture is only gonna further help that use case.
My current rig is: gtx 1070, 16gb ddr4 and a ryzen 5 3600x
Ultra settings with ray tracing is gonna be rough at 4k. You pretty much still need DLSS in Cybperunk and Control at maxed out RT settings to hit 4k and that means a base 1440p resolution. In cyberpunk's case, that means 30-40 fps. Matrix demo hovers around 40-48 fps at native 4k. 3090 Ti might give them an extra 5-10 fps but you are not getting ultra RT settings at native 4k on these cards.
That should be good enough. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and pull a 3rd modular cable from the PSU box and connect it to the GPU. It might work, and is an easy test. If it doesn’t work, you may have indeed gotten a defective GPU, but I’m not inclined to think so.
With that setup, you're more than fine waiting till September when some of this stuff is supposed to release. You'll be able to look forward to Intel Raptor Lake, AMD Zen4, Nvidia 4000 series and AMD RDNA3.My current rig is: gtx 1070, 16gb ddr4 and a ryzen 5 3600x
Which is why I told the person DLSS was gonna be their friend and to wait if they can because they're trying to go for broke with Ultra + Raytracing, lol. Maybe those MCM GPUs AMD supposed to release might help with what they want. And yes, the power consumption for the next gen of cards will be outrageous I believe. Especially if the rumors are true.
Psu only came with two pcie to psu cables. The only extra one i have is for the cpu to psu and Google says that has different pins so it won’t work.
Thanks. Ended up ordering this one since they were offering same day delivery. Cant wait till tuesday to get this damn thing fixed.
No. I wouldn't bet money on it at all. Right now the 12GB 3080, 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti are the ones that are available, while the 10GB 3080 and the original 3070 cards are still fairly scarce. I'd wager that nvidia and board makers stealth discontinued the 10GB model and 3070 since they were priced at a relatively consumer friendly price. In short, anything can happen, but I'd be very surprised to find a 10GB 3080 at near the original 10GB MSRP, unless the market gets completely flooded. Cryptocurrency is still a thing and if that gets hot, then the game changes again. That threat will exist until (I've read) ethereum makes the switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. I have NO IDEA what that means, other than that it will alleviate mining using GPUs. Supposedly...I don't know.
The cards that are readily available right now are the 3080 12GB, 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti. Some 3090s are available. The best deal at the moment seems to be the 12GB 3080 from EVGA at $1000, which isn't a great deal to most people, but is FAR FAR FAR better than what prices have been. As I said in the post above, the 10GB 3080 and original 3070 are still rather scarce and I suspect those models have been quietly discontinued.
i remember the days, when you could afford the WHOLE middle-end PC for the 1000$, not the GPUI’ve noticed all this talk about nvidia GPUs, but you should all be aware that the Radeon 6900XT is (or was) available for $1000. Unless RT means everything to you the 6900XT gives better performance than anything from nvidia at that price point.

It seems like the 3060 and 3060 Tis have sold out everywhere, otherwise you could get within $200 of that price with a 5600X. Maybe even closer with a last gen Intel set up. A 6700XT set up can get you under $1300 minus storage.i remember the days, when you could afford the WHOLE middle-end PC for the 1000$, not the GPU
Yeah that 6900xt has been in a weird fluctuating spot. Strangely enough the 6800xt was more sought after and people forget the 6900xt existed from time to time. Yeah it is a better "deal" these days. Definitely can give a recommendation for AMD gpus. I have had no driver issues or anything crazy in my experience with my 6800xt.I’ve noticed all this talk about nvidia GPUs, but you should all be aware that the Radeon 6900XT is (or was) available for $1000.
