New The PC Build Thread

Not a "new" build, but due to RAM prices, I am trying to squeeze another year or two out of my AM4 PC. So, I bought the 5800x3D 10th Anniversary Edition, which should arrive today. Moving from a 3600 non-X, I should see a bit of a performance boost (as I'm being CPU limited at the moment).

Next up, I will have to look at getting a 32GB DDR4-3600 Dual channel kit, then a GPU upgrade.

The RAMpocolypse is really screwing up our hobby.
 
It's going to be a tough few years, it's why I upgraded to an S26 Ultra with 512gb last week, tapped into savings to get it, as my S23Ultra is 3 years old now.

Just an update. In BF6 I suddenly had an additional 30-40 fps, going from barely 60 fps to close to and sometimes hitting 100 fps.
 
Morning! So Ive gotten myself some RAM and a MSI B650 motherboard, now I need to decide whether Im going with the 7500x3d or the 7800x3d. Ill use my ancient GTX1060 6GB for a while until I find a better card, but it will ten to one be an Arc B580 or GTX 5060.

From what I can see the 7800x3d is about R2500 more but I wont get much more benefit seeing that Ill be popping in a cheaper card.

Thoughts?

Yeah it is super cheap, I would need to upgrade to the 9800x3d though, as my 9700x is fine, sure it's about 11% slower for some gaming.
