HGLatinBoy Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 MB is an ROG Maximux X hero NZXT 710 case Kraken x62 aio with push pull fans 750w psu I'm going to put my gtx 1080 and a new NVME drive if I buy it. My cousin was trying to sell me just the CPU MB and some cheap chinse ram for $250 as an upgrade for my PC but id rather just use my current PC as HTPC I don't plan on keeping the cheap chinese ram I'll later get 32 GB of some quality ram @Mr.Vic20 you're my only hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Not that good of a price, assuming it has 3 years of use on it. Under $600 would be better, because Intel just came out with sub-$200 processors faster than an 8700k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGLatinBoy Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 what processor is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 You can get a 9900kf + good mobo for $500 or less. 10850k + good mobo for around $600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Sorry I’m late to the party, but you are already in good hands with these two gents comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGLatinBoy Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yeah my cousin is trying to get the 10850 and mb he was trying to get my to buy his mb cpu combo for $250 with the Chinese ram i offered to buy the whole computer minus the GPU the and ssds and he said the $700 for everything else. And I only asked for the whole thing because it would be easier than to disassemble both computers to swap parts and I didn’t want to mess inside my Corsair 600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGLatinBoy Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think there’s a big price difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 6 cores/12 threads like the 8700k, but has the advantage of a few generations of tweaks. Even though it can't be overclocked it should still be as good or better than an 8700k with the added benefit of an improved feature set (like PCI-E 4.0). 9 hours ago, HGLatinBoy said: Yeah my cousin is trying to get the 10850 and mb he was trying to get my to buy his mb cpu combo for $250 with the Chinese ram i offered to buy the whole computer minus the GPU the and ssds and he said the $700 for everything else. And I only asked for the whole thing because it would be easier than to disassemble both computers to swap parts and I didn’t want to mess inside my Corsair 600 If all that stuff is new, or like less than a year of use, then $700 wouldn't be too bad. That is a premium motherboard (which are expensive), a premium cooler, and a premium case. But with, I'm assuming, 3 years of use, spending a bit more on new parts will add better longevity. Water coolers become less effective over time because the water will slowly evaporate out of the closed loop system. And newer motherboards will offer more improvements than an older high-end board like better/faster USB ports and PCI-E compatibility, although midrange boards may not have as good of onboard LAN or audio chipsets. The power supply is an unknown. If it's a really good one, then the $700 asking price would be acceptable, IMO. But if it's just an average one, pass or haggle the price down.

Spork3245 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 XPS Desktop DEALS.DELL.COM Create without limits using the all-new XPS Desktop. Featuring powerful performance, a minimalist design and a highly expandable chassis. $380 more gets you a better cpu, (likely) better ram, a 512gb SSD, and a 2060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Don’t listen to these guys, that is actually a great deal for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGLatinBoy Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 I want to haggle the price with him I’m just curious what would be an appropriate counter offer. money is tight right now with reduced hours from covid so I really can’t jump what I really want which is a 5800x (due to availability over the 5600x) and then build a whole new computer and just add the gtx 1080.

HGLatinBoy Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 I ended up getting it for $400 and cousin said a few of the parts had just been replaced like the cooler was less than a year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded from a 9900KS to a 10900k and gain 25% more FPS in Warzone. 10900K is the fastest CPU you can buy for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
