Got the damn thing running on the first try, I usally always miss one cable or something.

She now has 500+ FPS in CS2 so I think a GPU will not be necessary for a while lol. What a shit game that is. I don't know how anyone can enjoy it.

7800X3D with 5080 will be the higher FPS combo (~+10%), though they will be relatively close and hard to distinguish.

9800X3D is about ~8% faster than the 7800X3D when using a 4090 with 1080p CPU limited tests. With a 5090 the margin increases to 10-12%. With slower GPUs the margin will still be there, but smaller.

The 5080 is about 13-15% faster than the 5070ti at raster and RT. At least for the next 6 months, it will likely be easier to get a 9800X3D than a 5080/90 too.

The extra $300 nets you the better motherboard and gpu. A used 7800x3d is going for $325ish used, so that’s another $150ish to put a 9800x3d in the G722.

It doesn’t list any other specific manufacturers, so the rest is a question mark… but it’s a MicroCenter house brand so it’s probably packed with whatever overstock they had at the listed specs.

You could DIY basically the same thing with a nicer case and bigger AIO for $2,500 including an overpriced 5080, so the price seems fine.

I got one of those PCs from microcenter back during covid in 2020. When you could not find a video card to save your life? Anyway, still running strong. The NvMe went bad on it, but it was one of those samsungs that went bad for lots of people about a year ago. Other than that just make sure your motherboard has the latest BIOS updates, because mine was WAY out of date.

Did a last minute pc upgrade before China tariffs really fuck things.

Ended up with a 7800x3D and I went for the AMD 9070xt instead of going Nvidia. I run 1440p, so I should be more than fine.

Some context from the latest steam hardware survey. Most of the world is running 60 series cards and less than 1% of users run a 4090. So don't convince yourself that you need a $1000+ video card to "keep up".

Where the hell is my 4080 on the list? pfft!

Bit further down at 0.69%. 4080/4080S/4090 total is 2.37%, so about 3x more people are on a 4060/4060Ti card than the high end cards combined. Not even counting laptop versions. I realize most of us are older and can afford to drop the money if we want to but realistically, a 70 series card already puts you at the upper end of mainstream.

Thanks mkopec mkopec and McQueen McQueen - I pulled the trigger on the 7800 X3D with 5080 - thing powered up and works perfectly!

Installing everything now and getting it all set up. Works great so far :) Still need to test some games.

Just because most are using doesnt mean they are getting great perf unless chillin at 1080p. I dont think ive owned a 1080p monitor in a decade nor ever purchased a 60 series card. In the end it all comes down to means. Not to mention most of us on the forums are older gamers and alot of newer gamers especially the younger crowd likely cant afford 80s or 90s and unfortunately think Nvidia is the only brand to purchase from.
