Help ! Gaming PC Hesitation
Posted by No_Resort_6264@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 6 comments
Hello,
I am in the process of switching from a PS5 Pro to a PC, and I have already purchased a few components (I live in France, so the prices may not be the same):
- Lian Li Lancool 217 - €134.94
- MSI Tomahawk X870 - €254
- Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black - €42.59
- Corsair RM1000X - €144.49
I still need to complete the build with these components (the prices are what I found today):
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - €437.07
- MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC - €1034.99
- Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL36 - €369
- Samsung 990 Pro 1TB - €174.99
That brings the total to €2592.07. I’m hesitating between buying now or waiting until the end of the month for the rest of the components (there’s a promo period in France starting on 29/04, but it’s possible there won’t be any discounts…)
What do you think? Should I go ahead and buy now?

Hello everyone, and thanks for your replies. In the end, I bought everything except the graphics card, but I think I’m going to go with a 9070 XT, which is much cheaper at the moment (€715 with Crimson Desert included).
Any thoughts on that? :)

PC is cheaper in the long run.

Bonjour my Nachbar. How is the return policy on your shops (here we have a 14 day window for online shopped stuff) ? Maybe get the parts and return them if deals come around.
If budget is a concern, have a look at the 7800x3d too (295€), the 9070xt (660€), and a used nvme (a 1tb WD 850x is 120€ on ebay...)

I also live in France. Everything looks good but i would pay almost half as much and get a 9070xt, unless you really need the NVIDIA features of course. Bon courage.

Depending on return policy I would do it now. In case any parts are DOA.
