1440p 144hz, just waiting for a 4k 144+hz MiniLED with 10,000+ dimming zones to drop before I upgrade. The reason? So I can run CRT shader Sony Megatron for old emulators. This is all that matters to me gaming wise anymore.Eh....that's ok. Now if you say your monitor is 1080p60 then I will hunt you down and kill you.

These prices? wtf USA. Nothing like that in Poland. 7800x3d alone is over 500. Cheapest gigabyte x670 is 300 alone.

I don't care what he spent his money on. That thing is hideous. Lights + massive case =Its kind of funny how many people here care about how much money others spend on their toys and love to put them down for what they consider spending too much
No its just overpriced.

Come to the forums if you need any help with your build. There are a lot of helpful people here, with regards to PC builds. We're all knowledgeable to different degrees.

Don't really understand this reaction. That is a pretty standard sized case from what I can see. Lights can be turned off.

6900 downpayment? To what, the ghetto? Add 3 of those setups and then we’re talking.

I hate to break this to you TC, but $6,000 is not going to get you a deposit on a house, think more like $60,000

We are slowly getting there
are we forgetting something here?
That's still and lcd. Just got tons of local dimming leds.
And being an lcd, you still have ips glow (though reduced with leds dimmer), bad angles, ghosting and all of that.
And one thing that is measured on best mini-led tvs out now is the delay. There is noticeable delay for zones to "catch up" behind the image.
Why are some people behaving like the next monitor they are going to buy, is the one to last their entire life?
Just get oled and in 3-5 years get the next best thing. No way in hell I am coming back to lcd

I was curious so I did a build of the OP's PC on parts picker.
Few hundred dollars cheaper, but one thing folks have to remember about pre-builts is that if/when anything goes wrong then you've got ONE warranty and ONE company to talk to. I prefer building my own because I enjoy it, but there are benefits to pre-builts.

My next monitor will for sure be the upcoming 32" 4k 240hz OLED with glossy screens but I still prefer the mini then micro LED approach end game wise
I just prefer the higher brightness provided by my mini LED TV over OLEDs and you and I have differed on this for what, literal years now?
Its cool though I am currently using a 45" ultrawide OLED monitor and has become my daily driver.
After owning my 12.9" IPad Pro with 10k mini LEDs and can reach like 1600 nits and is already approaching 3 years old I can't wait until someone packs a 32" monitor with mini LEDs accordingly

I just built a PC with a 4090, I9 processor, 64gb of ram and 2TB SSD for just under $4,000 at Microcenter. They assembled it for me in the store as well.

I don't follow you. You me you picked the parts in store and someone built it for you?
If so not seeing what you built apart from the PC in your imagination.

MicroCenter has almost like a Subway sandwich type of section in the store with overhead displays what you can order and they the people working there grab the parts and assemble it for you
But no he didn't actually build it

I went to the store called Microcenter, east coast of the U.S. (I don't know where else it's located) and had a sales rep look over a parts sheet that I had compiled and helped me pick out exactly what I wanted.
Then the store assembled it for me.

Its really a cool way to get people into building their own as the store in Indy at least has tables set up and you can totally build it yourself and ask for help all the way to just standing there watching them build it and any level in between

They are finally opening a Micro Center in Miami Florida. I already built a powerful PC but I always wanted to go to this store. Will be fun.Its really a cool way to get people into building their own as the store in Indy at least has tables set up and you can totally build it yourself and ask for help all the way to just standing there watching them build it and any level in between

If he/she just wanted a PC for gaming... an AM5 system would probably be a better fit. Something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fTk8xH
Cooler quieter, faster for gaming (most games) and closer to $3.5K than 5K and thats without looking at Microcenter, deals or other sales.. I just look at that Corsair prebuilt and its just got some odd choices.. like I don't see why someone needs $470 motherboard for gaming. That case isn't the best, nor its fans. Same for a 14900K, when a 7800X3D exists on a platform that isn't EOL.
Most other prebuilts come in at around 3.5K but with varying components and parts.

Oh....I don't think anyone will disagree that there are much more economical builds out there. Just saying that the one he bought isn't that far off what the individual parts cost and that there are other benefits to pre-built.

Some people don't need to be a PC gamer.Bought a 3080 so I could play games like Vanquish and Pyschonaughts.
( I really bought it for Elden Ring)

Thats really cool. As far as i'm aware we don't have anything like that in the uk. Well not a national chain anyways.Its really a cool way to get people into building their own as the store in Indy at least has tables set up and you can totally build it yourself and ask for help all the way to just standing there watching them build it and any level in between
Although you can pick your parts and get a company like PC specialist in the uk to build it for you although thats internet based as far as im aware.
Going into a store an be able to build it there with some advise is fantastic, especially for first timers or kids learning.

Ah....cool. I just picked the lowest priced one on the list so retail price for all that is up to $4660. Not bad at all. Again.....not the most economical way to go about it, but not like you got ripped off either.

Nah. This isn't the year 2000.Thats a cute case but no way am I sticking an Intel 14900k 4090 in there as every time you push the button
Didn't realize a 4090 is limiting your GPU options.

Not all GPUs are going to fit in that case. They said as much in the video. Just a given for ITX. So yeah....that's limiting options. You've got to literally look up the GPU and see if its length is 336mm or less or greater than 3.9 slot. Plenty are not going to work there.

If by house you mean a hole in the ground somewhere north of Alaska you might be right.

I think I spent about ~$3K on a HP Omen 30L 3090 few years ago. Felt pretty lucky that micro center had one at the time because graphics card standalone was going for similar at the time.Do have Alienware oled monitor to go along with it. I ended up using both of these items mostly for work.

I've never even seen a Microcenter even though I'm on the East Coast (northeast). I always picture the inside of a CompUSA.
How very wrong that is. Seems like a cool place to do this. I'd make my next desktop there if I had one. Seems better than mail ordering parts. The store is right there for issues or service.
Even though I like doing it myself, I might just have them make it so there is zero potential liability for any setoacks found during the process.
Who am I kidding, I'd use my 20 year old PC case and after one look at it they would say that putting anything in there would void my warranty

You balk at the price of the RTX 4090 I posted... yet turn a blind eye to the inclusion of the 14900K (over a 14900KF), the $120 windows 11 pro key, or any of the other components that you can get for cheaper.
Okay.
Price is $3.5k tops for a comparable build to OP's. Plenty of people in this thread have already posted builds in that general price range. But go ahead and continue defending spending $4k+.

Looks like that model only has 2 options for different memory models. Rest of specs listed in link.
