Help me choose~ used PC upgrade.
I've been scouring the used markets in my country (Israel) and these are the best options I have so far, one has a clear upgrade path but lacks value for performance, other has instant value as 4070's go for a lot here (~850$), so it's a good deal:
I'm gonna keep things short this time as my last post didn't get much attention probably because it was too long.
SO if you had to choose:
- 7800x3d+3080 fully assembled, assume other parts are all good enough. (750w gold psu, nvme ssds, new case, decent cooler etc)
For 1220$ (I'll be reusing some parts for this one, but let's just keep things simple)
OR
- i5 13500 + 4070 (same for other parts)
For 910$
Use cases:
1080p gaming. Specifically I wanna average around 140 fps on marvel rivals (probably with dlss, no frame-gen), and play other non-comp titles on decent settings years to come.
One gives you a clear upgrade path, other is very nice price to performance for the difference.
Just assume those are your only two options. Buying online from like amazon/newegg is not an option for me- taxes and shipping make it very not worthwhile.
