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.
