My first PC build and I’m having buyer’s remorse

Posted by Naive-Seaweed3888@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 16 comments

I’m currently having some doubts about the Zotac 5090 OC I just bought a couple days ago that cost nearly 3k USD. I don’t know whether I should return it and use that money to build a complete pc or use that GPU and build a pc with it. P/s: I saved up quite a bit of money over the years and I decided to build my first pc.

I had a 4090 x 7800x3d

Sold my 4090 last week and got a 5080 instead . For my use case ( games I play ) , I don’t feel a difference and I am happy . Runs whatever I want at a high fps ( LG 45 oled 3440x1440), paired with a s90c 55inch 4k (story games ) .

I am more than happy with my setup still

You can buy a 5080 prebuilt for the same price as your 5090 (3k) .

Get the 5080 bro if you’re only gaming like me

JFC what do you do for a living that you make the value of a 5090 in less than a week? Fuck some people are so much more fortunate than others.

Ah okay that makes sense! Yeah I’ve recently visited a fiduciary friend that’s helped set me up. I’m 37 now, got a pretty solid amount of savings, but about to start getting extremely aggressive. I want to have a very large sum of money generating a substantial amount of interest. That’s a lot though. $6000 per week is wild lol. I just googled it and your investments would need to be worth $7.8 million… lol.

Annual Income Goal: You want to generate $6,000 per week, which equates to $312,000 annually ($6,000/week * 52 weeks/year). Portfolio Calculation: To achieve this $312,000 annual income, you’d need a portfolio of approximately $7.8 million ($312,000 / 0.04 = $7,800,000).

That’s wild.

For most people 5090 is overkill especially if your not planning to play at 4k.

Another thing is these beefy gpu's have an increase chance of experiencing melting connectors.
