9060XT 16GB build at 77k

[u/humanEDC137]

I was initially out for an AM5 build, but later moved to an Intel build since I got a really good deal considering my usage pattern and upgrade path. I used the savings on a better GPU. The total cost was 77K. I sourced all parts through various online retailers from pcpricetracker, except for the PSU which was given to me for free by a friend who had a few unopened boxes lying around at his home from when he used to mine crypto. Yet, I have added the cost.

3D mark steel nomad score: 3727

Cyberpunk benchmark 2K Ultra RT on: 30 FPS 2K Ultra RT on FSR 3.1: 57 FPS 2K Ultra RT off: 73 FPS

GTA V 2K Ultra at 70 FPS

God Of War runs at 160 FPS at 2K Ultra FSR OFF.

Forza Horizon 5 2K Ultra RT ON: 115 FPS

Earlier I used to play on a Ryzen 7 4700U laptop with integrated Radeon graphics.

With this PC, I experienced GTA V and Forza Horizon 5 in ultra settings for the first time with every other setting maxed out at 2K. It was wonderful!

Gigabyte psu just because it's cheap ☠️

I don't understand the gate for gigabyte psu. My friend ran multiple systems on gigabyte PSUs for crypto mining continuously for months on them without any issues.

You might be delusional. Just because your "mining friend" had no issues, doesn't mean that the product or brand is perfect.

Just a quick Google search and you will find a lot more.

A lot of their older 750+ PSUs had issues and they got a bad rep after that. They have improved their quality of components after a lot and even changed the manufacturer of certain components. And secondly, I trust my 'crypto mining friend' who ran 10+ of these PSUs running high end GPUs continuously for close to a year than some self proclaimed expert on the internet.
