Did I Overspend on My $2800 Gaming PC Build?
Asked by

I recently purchased a gaming PC that cost me $2800, and I'm curious to know if I overpaid for it or if the price is reasonable given the components. Here are the specs of my build: CPU - Ryzen 7 9800X3D, GPU - ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition, RAM - Kingston FURY Beast RGB 2X 16GB DDR5 6000MHz, Motherboard - Asus TUF B850E-E Gaming Wi-Fi, CPU Cooler - DEEPCOOL LE360 V2 360mm, Power Supply - DEEPCOOL 850W +80 Gold, Case - NZXT H7 Flow RGB Black with customizable RGB fans, and an SSD - 1TB Kingston Fury Renegade with heatsink.

It sounds like you might have overpaid a bit, especially for the ROG Strix GPU. A TUF variant would perform just as well and cost less. Just something to keep in mind for next time!
