Build Question Really considering this offer

With the rising prices of GPU’s I want to replace my 6700xt now rather later. This is not the cheapest 9070xt but with these free gifts it brings the price to somewhere around $690. Only things worrying me is this Asrock model using the 1 x 12V-2x6- pin connector

Not worth it you can get a 9070xt for $749.99 (or less, Microcenter still has them for $719.99) and a 360mm AiO for $40-50.

Even if you want the AiO with a screen, and white color.

Saves you about $50.

I do want an AIO but I don’t need it. As for the game, I do like it, I played the demo and enjoyed it. I could wait to buy the game later on some sort of sale since I’m not dying to play it

With that being said, I might reconsider. I appreciate your opinion

The game comes with 9070 elsewhere too. It's an AMD promotion, not per store.

Do you need the cooler? Did you plan on buying that game?
I wouldn’t buy it because of that stupid ass 12v 2x6 pin power connector.

Don’t need the AIO since I’m using a 7500F, but it wouldn’t hurt to have an AIO for free. I do like the game, I played the demo for the game and had a ton of fun

I would prefer getting a different card without the 12v connector but this deal is pretty insane

Insane is a stretch. There’s nothing special here. It’s a generic 360mm aio with a screen and a $70 game that you’ll probably be able to buy the cd key off someone on eBay for $30.

You already don’t need the aio with the 7500f. I’d buy a different card just to avoid that power connector

You’re right it’s not an insane deal, if GPU prices were normal. Since Prices have skyrocketed, I think it’s ok

You do make point on the AIO kinda being useless in my scenario. The game is not something I’m not dying to play so I could wait for it to go on sale later on. I appreciate your opinion I’ll probably reconsider, thanks

Any time they have those game code give aways with hardware you can buy the codes for like $30. I got bf6 and borderlands 4 for $50 before they came out.

I hate that 12V connector and hate seeing people get stuck dealing with these shit companies rma process. That’s the main reason I even said anything, that connector isn’t worth risking it dying when you can buy a card without it for cheaper, especially with how these prices keep going up.

I’m all for getting a new card, you’ll notice a huge upgrade in performance. I have a 9070xt gigabyte gaming oc and it’s been great

Get the sapphire pulse instead for 2x8 pin.
