7800XT Red and Black Bearcat
by NICHOLAS C Posted on: 5/14/2025Build Description
Had an older rig (i7-6700k, GTX 1070) that I wanted to upgrade from, especially since a coworker agreed to buy it. So I went to Microcener and got all the parts except for the GPU (purchased used). I use it for gaming in 1440p, mostly Halo Infinite and PUBG, emulation, and I plan on buying the FF7 Remake and RE4 remake to play in 1440p as well. I also do some sim racing in Asseto Corsa. I have also tossed around the idea of streaming, but that hasn't panned out yet.
Favorite Feature
The price to performance. It's not cheap by any means, but I know I still got a good deal for what it can do.
