I’m in the process of buying this off of someone online, I know a 3090 is worth a lot more so is there something wrong with this? (Aside from it being pretty ugly)

    >I know a 3090 is worth a lot more

    Sorry but you know nothing dude. Look up what they sell for on ebay, they’re like $700 maybe? The rest of the parts are not worth $600.

    Could probably snag a 3090 for like $600 locally or on hardwareswap.

    5 year old cpu&motherboard? I wouldnt risk it with 1000$.

    Someone actually uses that font style as the default? Good god….

    If it’s in Canadian then it would be about $950 US, which is not a bad deal. The PSU and storage seem fine. Maybe switch out CPU if you want but I think it should be ok.

    Overall not bad for the price. 3090 used itself is around $600-800.

    Keep in mind the i7 9700 is the generation where Intel decided that the i7s didn’t need hyper threading. So your stuck with just the 8 physical cores. My home office PC has one and when I play games on it the CPU is very much a bottleneck.

    For $950 US it’s not a terrible deal.

    People talking CAD, and not mentioning they’re talking CAD, is about the most infuriating thing on this sub. I’m not even from the US, but if you put dollars, I’m gonna assume this is 1330usd which is terrible. 1300CAD is fine, however. Huge difference.

    Strix mobo. Tuff card. KEK That’s backwards imo.

    1300 CAD everyone, stop tearing op a new one.

  9. Damn there are some horrible people on this sub.
    Sorry OP you’re getting such shit for asking something so harmless.

    People need to take a breath.

    Can you even close the case with that cooler?

  11. wlogan0402

    The worst thing here is that fuckin font

  12. moneymaketheworldgor

    Wow I need to sell my old pentium dell I could get 1500 for it.

  13. DiamondHeadMC

    If it’s what in the picture it’s not a 3090 as all 3090s have 3 8 pins and the one in the picture has 2

  14. Schmonballins

    Either the CPU isn’t a 9700 or the board isn’t a B560. It can’t be both. I’d be cautious and verify the list of parts is accurate.

    “Yes officer, this font right here…”

  16. Legitimate-Gap-9858

    This sub is full of elitist ass hats that think anything over 50% MSRP is a terrible deal

  17. sdeptnoob1

    Looks good to me tbh a 3090 and a good i7 that newerish to go with it for under 1000 usd? Maybe depends on wear and tear and use lol, but thats a beast of a system.

    Edit: u/Juanito2gud someone pointed out that board and processor are not compatible. Double check the parts.

  18. StuffedBrownEye

    I’m just gonna chime in and say I have a tuf 3090 and the thing is loud as fuck man. It gets screaming. Nobody really mentioned this anywhere before I bought.

  19. Tyz_TwoCentz_HWE_Ret

    FB marketplace can get used 3090 Founders for 600-700 locally quite easily atm. Even $600 for a 3090 Hybrid at time of writing..

  20. SinoSoul

    What the f is wrong with the font on your cell?

  21. It’s not a horrible price if OP isn’t a builder of PCs.

  22. Prior-Shelter9633

    This sub is full of a bunch of neck beard elitists.

    That is about 950$ USD. A used 3090 goes for about 600-700$ USD. That is a good deal imo.

    Be better PCMR.

  23. Black_Rose_Gallade

    It’s a B560. It uses Intel’s 10th and 11th gen processors. Not a 9th gen processor.

    If that is Marketplace be careful! Had some skanks try and Rob me just a week ago from a Marketplace ad. A used Asus Rog Strix RTX3080 advertised for £350 everything seemed fine they happy for me to view it and do a bank transfer for payment if I wanted it etc, Got to the house and this lad comes over to the car out of nowhere with the GPU, I get out and starts showing me it then another lad came up behind me and pulled a knife on me demanding all my money and my car keys. Idiots didn’t realise I’d gone there with my brother, my mate, and my son, all of them between 6′ and 6’3″ tall and not soft. They couldn’t see them through the glass as my car has blacked out windows and it was getting dark. I’ve never seen anyone run so fast I’m my life!

    Stay safe out there, MarketPlace is full of scammers and people with bad intentions.

    That font has always screamed being 15 years old for me lol

  26. ModSucksCock

    Not sure if you’ll see this OP. But those asus TUFs look almost identical to eachother. My 3070ti tuf has the same shell, cannot tell them apart.

    If you can go to the buyer and they can show you it’s a 3090 go for it, if not I’d err on the side of caution.

  27. HotEntertainment9136

    Someone needs to tale that font out back and shoot It

  28. Hefty_bag_dumps

    That’s the new price…when it was new a few years ago. You could build this out for under $1,000 new now.

    Why ever spend that much for a 2nd hand PC?

  29. dawiewastakensadly

    where the fuck are all these 500-700 price ranges… a 3090 is still 1.5k minimum in denmark.. easily more

  30. MsDubis44

    i7 9th gen with a 3090.. isn’t that like a huge bottleneck or am i just dumb?

  31. likwidtek

    This screenshot alone is a perfect case study in favor of apple products. 🤣

  32. skuggabarn

    I used to have almost the same setup but a 9700k instead of 9700 and the cpu bottlenecked the card soooo much. you might be better off buying this setup and then taking the card and drives and selling the pc and trying to make 5800x3d build.

  33. This sad and massive cpu air cooler is taking all the heat of the memory chips on the back of the gpu

    But yeah, not a bad deal, it’s at the right price I would say, just the 9700k will be a bottleneck in games launched from 2022 for the 3090.
