Just wanted to give you all a quick update on what I’ve been up to these past few days. Thanks to your incredibly generous support, I was finally able to upgrade my PC!!!

I tried to grab a 5090, but of course, they went out of stock after 2 seconds. Fortunately, I found the only 4090 within a 200km radius on marketplace, but it came with an absolute unit of a PC. I wasn’t about to blow money on unnecessary parts, so I won’t be keeping most of what you see on the picture. A lot of them are overkill, and just too expensive (especially that motherboard lol). I really don’t need a 1350W PSU, a ridiculously expensive/rare overclocking motherboard, an overpriced Hyperion case, or an AIO with a screen. I think when he bought the parts he just filtered by "Brand: ASUS" and "Highest Price" 😂

All that really matters here is this glorious 4090 and the i9-14900KS. That’s all I needed in the first place from this PC and I will sell pretty much everything else. I could've just bought the GPU online at an inflated price, but this whole setup is brand new, and the guy sold it to me for about $2300 less than what he paid. That means I should be able to sell off the individual parts I don't need and reach the original budget I had for this new build.

Later today, I should be receiving the case, motherboard, PSU and RAM I actually wanted. Once that’s here, I’ll be able to finally build my new PC and I will make another post to show you the results😁Thank you guys again so much for everything ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

That's awesome!! The 5090 sell out was expected, honestly. The last 2 generations were like that with Nvidia. But a 4090 is going to be really nice! I'm still rocking a 6900XT and Ryzen 3900X. Been wanting to upgrading my CPU, but I would have to buy a new MB and RAM with it (my future proof 1200W 80+platinum is still going strong) lol So, maybe once some prices fall a bit more... What is your build right now, if you don't mind me asking? I love geeking out over tech. Have fun with that new PC build!!

It is also always nice to have spares on hand if you don't need the money atm as well, how many time we hear crap my blah or blah died waiting on a replacement. Been there on my pc's.

I had this build since like 2021, it has a 3070, a i7-10700KF, 32gb RAM and a 650W PSU. It does the job for VAM, but when I make animations, sometimes I work with 15 fps and when I upscale the game to 4K it drops to like 2 FPS 😆 I can’t wait to finally test it with my new build, Im still missing the fan hub for the RGB though.

I’m keeping my old stuff for now in case something goes wrong. But currently the new build works, I’m just missing a fan hub so the fans can light up.
