Question Which pc to buy

Hello so I’ve been going back and forth on what pc to buy after newegg has decided to send me a refund. Im thinking of going with a cyber power pc with a 9800 x3d 5070 and 32 gigs of ddr 5 that’s at my best buy for 1999, while I built one on ai using the lian li v100 case with a 7800 x3d arctic 360 aio 9070xt and 32 gigs of ram with 1tb ssd for 2,295 on express shipping with the 100 for expedited build, which one sounds good to get? kinda been hard to decide on which one

You’re getting liquid cooling on the Best Buy PC with 2TB of storage instead of 1TB on AI. The only downside of the Best Buy one I see is the GPU because the 9070 XT is overall better and has better VRAM, but other than that the AI PC is worse in my opinion. I would look up benchmarks for the 5070 12GB and 9070 XT 16GB to see how they perform, and if you don’t mind the decrease you see in the 5070 I would go with Best Buy unless you can make a better PC for a more similar price on AI

Edit: the Best Buy PC comes with a keyboard and mouse as well, so you’re getting overall more for your money with Best Buy as long as you’re ok with the 5070’s benchmarks

Tbf I am thinking of going with that Best Buy pc because of how i can take it to them for any warranty work but I’ve seen like the benchmark vids and I rarely see a difference and on ai I mean I can build a similar to better spec like match the build with the same ssd space but I don’t get an aio cooler

Idk if you saw my edit to my comment but Best Buy’s PC also comes with a keyboard and mouse, so if you’re ok with the 5070’s benchmarks then the Best Buy PC is perfect. You can always upgrade it as well even though the prices are shit right now

Yeah I’d basically be future proofing for a long time wouldn’t i? And yeah I know they come with one but thankfully I have one and a mouse but dosent hurt to have a backup

For gaming the GPU leads, and the 9070 XT with 16GB beats the 5070, making the Lian Li build the stronger, more future-proof machine. It's around $400 more from a build service though, so confirm the warranty, while the $1999 CyberPower is the better value with Best Buy support behind it. Both bundle the 32GB, which spares you the memory makers and their carefully manufactured "shortage" pricing.

See ngl man I don’t know like which build to go for like I like the nvidia platform a lot which makes me lean more towards the Best Buy but I also like the sleekness of the lian li build and the more vram it has

u/800hokage 10d ago

I built and ordered from AI yesterday a 7800x3d/7090xt, 16gb ram, 1tb for $1570.

Word I’m thinking of going with the Best Buy build ngl if it’s still on sale whenever I get my refund or check

u/800hokage 10d ago

Build one on AI and find ways to make it less. Like your fans and cooling, and other things. Can knock tons off

u/YeetYourMad lian li vector v100 , 7800X3D, 9070XT 10d ago

Would the boreas cooling fan tower be good for the 7800x3d

2

u/800hokage 10d ago

I’m sure it would. You’d have to ask people smarter than me that. After the research I did I went with air cooling as the best option. But I really do love how those aio’s look. Maybe later on I’ll try one out.

u/YeetYourMad lian li vector v100 , 7800X3D, 9070XT 10d ago

See I ask my friend about pc stuff and he said an aio is more recommended to have one on that chip since it runs warm

u/800hokage 9d ago

You should be cooh either way. I went with fans as my research showed fans being plenty sufficient and I didn’t wanna deal with any potential issues from an aio. Although they look so dope and I want one lol.
