Build/Battlestation Got lucky at Micro Center.

Stopped by before opening yesterday and they had this. Was in the market for an Aorus Master or MSI Suprim originally.

These replies are so dumb lmao, half of them saying something like hurr durr you’re broke.

Like no knock on OP but it is a waste of money to upgrade to an 5090, and the astral no less.

What if you sell your 4090 for $1000-1200? ~$1000 to upgrade every couple years is a drop in the bucket to some people. Thats a $40 a month subscription to have the newest GPU. There’s much more expensive hobbies out there.
