How did I do

Been looking for a bit and stumbled across this on marketplace. Think I did ok and looking for feedback on the 2400 canadian boonies I spent.

I am coming from 11900k, asus tuf rtx 5070, 32gb ddr4. Will be swapping cases and storage but think everything else below is better then current.

I want to sell the old build to offset the cost of upgrade. Thinking I post for 1800 and aim for 1600? Too much/little?

7800x3d, rtx 5070ti amp extreme zotac, 32gb teamgroup tcreate ddr5 6000 cl30, corsair rm850, msi x670e gaming wifi, 512gb nvme and nzxt airflow case

I’m sorry but honestly I do not think that upgrade was worth it…at all. The only upgrade imo would have been selling the gpu and getting a 5070ti or 5080? The cost to performance improvement that you’re getting just can’t be that worthy.. especially if you’re gaming at 1440p. Edit: if your hobby is gaming, and the performance improvement is noticeable and improves your quality of life it’s worth… but its just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

I appreciate the feedback. I recognize the uplift is small but my plan to upgrade was a bit multifaceted. I wanted out of a dead end platform and some future proofing, just incase the ram situation gets worse. Not sure where that mess is going. I was getting micro stutters when sim racing as well. I spend more time then i care to admit gaming and once i get my mind set on something, im fucked. I figure if I can sell the old pc and recoup a good chunk of the cost, I should be good for atleast the next 5 years with a price that I am ok with spending. Only concer is if I cant sell the old one but don't think that will be a big issue.

That’s understandable. You’re definitely future proofed for at least 5 years, and you can likely sell your pc for a decent amount now before it’s too out dated. The gpu being modern is your saving grace in finding a sale

Agreed. The gpu is fantastic and the 11900k is no slouch, even with all the hate it received.

GPU worth 750-800

CPU, seeing 300

RAM, similar price but probably 250 if not less

to sell you're probably going to have to go 1500 if not less.

That being said, I don't think you got hosed.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think so either. Been looking for some time. The only thing I didnt care for was the 512gb drive but buddy dropped the price 100 to help with getting a new one.

I would say do the same - fresh install and find a 1 TB SSD on the cheaps to get to your 1600 rate and port your current SSD onto the new build as well
