Was impulsive and built a PC yesterday, I found some great deals on Facebook marketplace and got mostly brand new parts at a fraction of the price. Slapped it all together slightly afraid I got ripped off, and the machine ran no issues first boot.
Specs (i9-14900K
MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK Max Wifi
Fractal Design North XL Chalk White
Artic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 AIO CPU Cooler)
$850 CAD / $595.90 USD All with receipt and warranty
Crucial 32 GB DDR5 4800MHZ - $300 CAD / $210.32 USD
Cooler Master Elite Gold 1000 Watt $175 CAD / $122.70 USD(brand new)
ADATA Legend 860 1TB M.2 SSD $219.98 CAD / $154.23 USD
ASUS Dual RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (brand new bought second hand, still sealed) $735 CAD / $515.32 USD
Total price $2279.98 CAD / $1598.52
The i9 and other stuff in the top bundle all has receipts with dates bought October 2025 so only a year old.
Overall not bad for a non prebuilt. And I mainly use it for running LLMs and comfyui image and video generation, so the 16GB vram is the best bang for buck, especially since Nvidia is better for AI thanks to PyTorch and Cuda cores. The downside to the build is 4800mhz ram but it was the best deal I could find for 32GB. I’m running Ubuntu right now but with 3 extra m.2 slots I’ll maybe get another one dedicated for windows for Wow forever and whatever else I feel like playing.
