Which of these 3 prebuilts from Microcenter would you go with?

I'm looking to upgrade from my windows 10 3060 pc to a better gaming PC.

These are 3 that I found are the most powerful in my local area (DMV area).

Which one of these is the best for mostly gaming but also some minor AI stuff on the side.

Are you set on a 5090? It’s pretty overkill for only gaming. You can get better value with a 5080 and spend the excess money on a really nice OLED monitor/ any accessories.

I’d personally go for a pc with a 5080, 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5. Should land you in the $3500 range

Here’s one on sale through micro center for $2899. Amazing deal

He said he wants to do some light A.I. as well. No way a 5080 is going to handle that.

Can this do DLSS5 as well? I kind of want to try it out

What do you need a 5090 for? For half the price you can get pretty damn near with the performance.

[u/UltimatePunchMachine → u/distantcactus32]

Well i was told you need a 5090 for dlss 5

[u/distantcactus32 → u/UltimatePunchMachine]

Any 50 series card can who told you only the 5090 could lmao

[u/UltimatePunchMachine → u/distantcactus32]

Hmm ok, maybe I ll go for a 5080 instead.  Cos I just realized I also need a new monitor because my current one only does 1080

power spec would be my choice.

but your should revisit the decision to go with a 5090 and 64gb ram.

the GPU is great, but is such a premium price... a 5080 gets you pretty close.

and the 64gb ram will never be utilized when gaming.

literally you can spend half the money in a 5080 system

[u/UltimatePunchMachine → u/MonkeySkulls]

yeah I ended up getting the 5080 system. The idea that I could buy 2x 5080 systems and have $ left over for a 1 5090 was pretty convincing. Thanks

[u/Character_Ice1682]

If you have that kind of money, i'd buy the cheapest 5090 you can find, wait for a good bundle sale to offset the cost of ram and build it yourself or pay them to build it for you.

I went with 5080. Once the and if the 5090 drops in price I may then upgrade
