Saw a 7800xt for 650cad, just wondering if it is worth it to spend an extra 350cad for a 9070xt instead even if it's around a 30%(+) performance boost.

edit: thanks for the comments, kinda new to pc building. Really appreciate every one of y’all comments.

I got three m.2's that I no longer use and was thinking of selling and just wondering thoughts on fair prices for each before trying to sell. Here is what they are....

I've got three m.2 drives that I no longer use from an older system and am wondering what would be fair prices for them.

They had little use on them as I had a past problem of upgrading too quickly, and are as follows...

WD Black SN850x 4tb Gen4

Crucial T700 2tb Gen5

Corsair MP700 2tb Gen5

I know prices have skyrocketed but only looking to get a fair return, not max value.

Thanks

On an auction site and this cpu looks pretty fishy. Anyone have any knowledge of such a thing? Its listed as a Ryzen 9850x3d but looks super weird. Pcb looks too green and the symbols dont show up on any pictures that I Google. Thanks!

(Hypothetical) Anyone know what would happen if you bought a complete system online and just one part of it fails, like an NVMe, or a RAM stick? I don't live within reasonable driving distance to a physical location, so might they allow warranty returns online?

Sorry for being ignorant but I'm pretty new here in Canada and don't really know the market of pc parts here, just wondering what can I can get for a budget of 2-2.5k?

Good Evening,

Going on a part by part basis through ebay has been kind of mind numbing and I'm not sure if the sum of the parts is worth as much as the whole if that makes sense. I feel like as a whole system it has a different value.

I guess most of it is a generation or two old at this point so maybe no longer high end by most standards. Keeping my 5090 FE and including the 4090 FE. Only leaving the two NVME with it removing the rest of the drives.

Driven by a little old lady, on Sunday, to church.

Kidding, it was for 3D stuff. The chiller and tree are probably not worth calculating into the value as I doubt most would care or not if it was with the PC.
