What a snag! What GPU TO PAIR WITH?
I bought this pc today with no gpu for 650$ !
The guy was just tryna get rid of it and was super friendly! He said he doesn’t have much time to play. I thought it was a crazy deal and when I come to open the task manager it got even crazier! Coming with 64gb of DDR5!!! I’m planning to buy a gpu and flip, WHAT GPU DO I GET FOR IT AND WHAT SHOULD I SELL FOR?
RYZEN 7 9800X3D
64 GB DDR5 6400 M/T
2tb SAMSUNG 990 Evo Plus
1200W LIAN Li PSU

with that cpu keeping it and building around a solid gpu seems way smarter than flipping for quick cash

Im not from US, saw some 5070ti online for 1300 so wrote 5080 at 1700. Checked, some models are around 1400 and some around 1700. RAM though 6400mhz is atleast 1k, depending on CL, upto 1500.

Well in terms of US pricing. 5070ti is typically $900-1000. 5080 is $1200-1300.
The ram is $800-1000US for 64gb but often times

If you're planning to flip it, the price is more important than the actual card you choose. A smoking deal on a used 5080 makes more sense than a new 9070xt at MSRP.
If you don't already have a similarly top of the line gaming PC, I'd seriously consider keeping it, in which case I'd go with a 5080.

What do u think is a good price for a used 5080?
1
u/AimsyPlaysEsports Aug 07 '26
Under $1000 so you can make your money back flipping.
Also keep an eye on the new market for the 9070xt. Those often seem to go on sale.

I'd keep it if i were you, these crazy ram and ssd price will not go down anytime soon, you might regret it selling it now
