Been eyeing this pc but it went on sale today for £1,459.99 and it was the last one. I bought it quickly as in hindsight seemed like a great offer but now I’m wondering if the deal was worth it or not, I’m not very experienced nor familiar with PC parts and prices and whatnot.
It has:
Ryzen 7 9800x3D
Rx 9070 XT 16GB
32GB DDR5 4800MHz
750W psu
1TB NVMe SSD
I’m new to purchasing a PC and have no budget constraint. I was looking for a starter PC tho and didn’t want to spend a lot especially given the games I play. I saw this deal on Costco and thought it might be good for my use.
I plan to play league, overwatch, pubg, maybe some maplestory, and also maybe elden ring. I dont exepct them to run on full high quality (especially elden ring-adjacent games) but wanted to see what im really getting out of this PC. Aside from gaming i also plan to do some everyday work (which i dont think will be a problem).
Sorry Im very new to this and honestly dont know much so any general advice or red flags i should be aware would be very helpful
Thank you in advance!!
I want a gaming pc that can also handle designing. I am currently designing for a clothing brand I am working on starting, but I am working with a Lenovo laptop that dies quickly when I use Adobe Illustrator so, I figured to just kill to birds with one stone by getting a gaming pc. I have a budget of $2,000 for a prebuild, but I want something that I can update if I want to make the graphics card stronger or add more
RAM, but I don’t know much about anything pc.
New developer here - I’ve been looking to upgrade an old laptop (4GB VRAM, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) and will be moving to a desktop setup and remoting in with the old laptop using Sunlight/Moonlight. I’ll mainly be working with small product specific toy LLMs for engineering drafts and 3d modeling/rendering. There will also be some LLM training as I go for additional task specific models. I’ve been reading reviews and reddit posts regarding a minimum setup required for my work and I had settled on a 5070ti, 16GB VRAM, 32GB RAM (2 - 16 sticks) with a 2TB SSD to start with (can upgrade as I grow). However, I’m in a few groups where they’ve commented on other posts that a setup like this is no longer adequate for such work because of the possibility of needing to run a larger LLM for reference. If I’m sticking to LLM models less than 10M, shouldn’t this setup work fine? They all seem to think a $10k+ rig with a 5090, 32 VRAM and + 96 RAM is required which is absolutely not possible. Please tell me I’m not crazy…
