So new system time…

[KAC]

Seems will require

New board
New CPU
New Ram
New AIO
New PSU
New Graphics
New Monitor

About 4.5K will cover it? What are you guys gonna be pumping? If I sell my 2009 Ford Edge I can buy a computer now.

AMD or Intel?

[the_sextein]

I'm going to wait for reviews before making a final decision but if I were to follow my gut feeling right now I would buy.

AMD 7950X
MSI 670E ACE
64GB Corsair DDR5 6000mhz
Nvidia 4090 24GB
New NVME 5.0 2TB (Not sure on brand and model because it's too early)
Port my EVGA T2 1600 Watt power supply
Port my Samsung EVO 2TB NVME 3.0
Fractal Define 7 mid tower case
Corsair 170I ELITE AIO

So far I've purchased the case, the RAM, and the AIO and I already have the power supply and one of the NVME drives.

[KAC]

You sure we can just port our AIOs? Also what about PSU. I gots a 1300 watts that is about to hit 8 year mark. Shall I continue with it? Disks I have enough. Even PCIe 4.0 is too fast and not used much.

Case I have a Phanteks P500A that I will reuse. Was a damn good case until I lost my mind and bought the Lian Li Evo.

My 4.5K was split like this.

CPU 700
Mobo 300
Ram 300
Graphics 1.5 G
AIO 200
PSU 300
Monitor 1.5 G

Selling old parts may compensate about 2 Gs out of the above.

[the_sextein]

With AMD you can port your old AIO. With Intel, it hasn't been announced yet but if it requires a new one, I'm pretty sure you can buy an adaptor from Corsair. My 170I Elite is brand new and in the box unopened just in case I need to send it back.

I think a 1300 watt power supply will be fine. If your GPU uses more than 450 watts then you might want to watch it but most likely you will be fine.

[the_sextein]

I'm still using my LG CX OLED. It will be 3 years old this spring. I've had no problems with it and don't plan to replace it until it gets burn in or has some other problem.

[KAC]

Nobody ever needs to replace parts… I mean games aren’t even using the setup I have today at 1440P.

Exactly, just get the 4090 and call it a day.

It's new system time for me. I'm going big.
New Board
New CPU
New Ram
New Cooler
New PSU
New Graphics
New SSDs
New Monitor
New K&M
New Chassis
New Desk
New Chair
New Building electrical standard
New Loan

I'm moving back to AMD. I probably won't be building until next year when all the reviews are available.

[Sasquach]

Its not blue enough

I was thinking it needs more RGB...

Wow, now that's a serious financial undertaking.

[acroig]

My bad.

[KAC]

After a careful examination of the AMD presentation the lineup looks quite meh. Will see what Intel pulls out of the hat or wait for 3D cache nonsense when it comes out. Which I doubt will be before a year is over (I.e., end of 2023).

[the_sextein]

That's probably a good call. If you primarily game then X3D will be more beneficial and with a 5900X you probably won't be CPU bound with a 4090 given how ray tracing is bogging down the GPU these days.

[the_sextein]

That being said, and I know this is synthetic but there are some pretty impressive gains this generation. 31% single core performance over the 5950X which is considerably ahead of the 5900X.

13900K puts on an impressive show but it's power limitations are unlocked so it's using 350 watts to achieve that and cooling it will be tough in multithreading.

[SSXeon]

Just wait, I am sure your system isn't bad. Please sell the ford

KAC? He drives a Porsche now.

[Silent-Runner]

i'll see myself out

to the dealer and back

Its all part of the ownership experience.

[KAC]

Anyways, was thinking if I need to buy a new computer or not.

I am on 5800X3D with a 4090 now. Wondering if throwing in a 13900K system is worth it at this point.

Everything is running fine and most new games are doing over 100 FPS with some pegged to 240 FPS (Plague Tale 2, MW2, Dying Light 2).

Was thinking if the new unoptimized crop of games required a new CPU (Gotham Knights, Callisto, NFS Unbound etc.).

[Nunz]

I'd stick it out until next gen. There aren't too many games the 5800X3D is struggling in.

Wait for Meteor Lake / 8000 series. You would see some gains going from 5800X3D to 13900K, but IMO, not worth the expense. The 4090 definitely exposes any CPU limitation, though.

[KAC]

Yeah would love to see some review with the latest games and to get an idea. All are using older games and not many are benching the 5800X3D anymore.

Nice Uber system but I wouldnt marry a 60 hz panel to something this high end...

[KAC]

System seems dope. Also cool that you get to rip off a friend.

He also gets my 50 inch 4k TV to own as his display at no extra charge. Maybe not the the best.
I don't rip of friends. He insists on paying me money. I was going to give it to him for no charge.
I usually discard old systems to the closet graveyard.
Maybe you don't have any friends?

[KAC]

Man I am joking. System has a 3090 you are being ripped off lol.

He lives with me and we both play Co-op games together. I don't care about the money.

going all out there, i see. That thing will be a monster for gaming, have fun with it.

[Nagorak]

Personally I would have waited for the Ryzen 7000 X3D reviews before buying. They're very likely going to be faster for gaming than the 13900K.

Also DDR5-5600 CL36 memory is too slow and it's going to hurt performance.
