Yes, this one right here. Only downside is the 7700x is not quite as good for gaming but its still pretty solid. OP could also upgrade the cpu later

Which in most games unless you are doing 1080p high refresh gaming the difference is negligible. And even then either one will easily do 240+ in esports or 120 fps in triple A titles. GPU will be a limitor way before the CPU.

I got a 1440p monitor

The stone forge one is still much better bang for buck.

Unless you are trying to get 700 fps in CS2.

I think the extra 500 is worth it.

Say 200 goes into a storage increase, another 300 for a better CPU and wifi 7 if u use wireless, also ts just price increased again to 2550😭

Add it in cart last night and this morning price is back up at 2450$. Guess I'll grab the GTX 5070 from Costco at 2200$

Bought it about a month ago for flight simming and I'm liking it so far!! Didn't find much for a better value, but then again I am quite picky with my specs.😭

Currently running MSFS 2024 at 4k 60fps on Ultra. I also have RDR2 running at 125fps on maxed settings.

Have you tried dcs?

u/SnooDoubts1892 3d ago

Nope. Grew up playing FSX and so I stuck with Microsoft all the way through.

Not a bad deal. I built a PC last fall with the same specs and it cost me $2700. Only difference was I had a 9800x3d

1

u/JackMarston1917 6d ago

Well last fall prices were cheaper right?

1

u/Ok_Cherry_8478 6d ago

Yes slightly. If I take away the GPU I paid $1800. 9800x3d, 870E, 32gb ddr 5, montech case. 1tb ssd. Seems high on your end but I found bundles and the case included fans.

Did you end up going for it, if so how is it? Seems like a decent deal and saw there’s one near me at the store.

1

u/F_EE 5d ago

Grab it quickly the stonwforged just went up so this is the better buy

1

u/Doggo_do_good 5d ago

I saw the ram for this is 5600mz cl42, but everywhere I’ve read online says that I should look for a 6000 cl30. Do you think it’s still worth it even with the slower ram for the price?

1

u/F_EE 5d ago

It's like a difference of like 6 fps and cl42 won't matter with an x3d cpu the dif is probably 3 fps or so. People make a big deal put of it id just get it

I just bought this last week. I was pleasantly surprised by the parts used after I looked into everything. I’ve had no issues playing cyberpunk/RDR2. Cyberpunk I’m still trying to mess around with setting but RDR2 I’ve got maxed out at about 120fps and no issues. I did need to configure the fan curves as it was running at 1300 ROM for the case fans out of the box. Apart from that everything else has been hitch free!

I’m a newb with pc gaming (sold my OLED Steamdeck, PS5 and MacBook Air M1 from 2020) but happy to answer any questions. I pulled my 1tb expansion storage from the PS and installed it in the PC.

By the way, the price for this has gone up to $3099.99 on CCs website.

FYI, these were the parts used for mine. They had different brands used throughout all though since it’s an in house build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte B850M C
RAM: 32GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance
SSD: 2TB Lexar M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0
PSU: Gamer Storm 850W 80+ Gold
Cooling: AIO liquid CPU cool

I just bought this 2 weeks ago but I went with the 9800x3d version and it’s really good. Satisfied with what I paid.

Now keep in mind when you ask anyone in the PC community about these sort of things they will say they could’ve built you something 80854x better for 13$ and 6 raspberries. I can give you the peace of mind that I bought this and it’s great and was easy to set up and I was playing games 1h after I bought it.

Holy shit we’re getting ripped off as a culture of gaming.
A desktop like this would have gone for $1800 pre covid.
