A Former PowerSpec G517

9 parts · $4815.28 estimated · Created Jun 24, 2026

First bought a PowerSpec pre-built [5800X3D, 1x16GB DDR4, RX 7600, 512GB TLC, 650W PSU] for $650, in around March 2023 at MicroCenter. Eventually sold the RX7600 for $250 and bought an XFX QICK 7800xt for $400 on Newegg. Then, sold the PSU for $45 and upgraded the SSD and the PSU (to one of those Lian Li Edge 750W PSUs), because I could get both of those items for less than $150 back then... But eventually, I flipped the whole powerspec mobo, ram (+16GB, total 32GB), and 5800X3d + cooler for $600 on ebay. Then got the 9850X3D 3-in-1 bundle for $700. STONKS

Why these are estimates?

These numbers are model-predicted averages, not measured benchmarks of your specific system. Treat them as ballpark guidance, not a promise. Real framerate depends on:

Your full system (RAM speed, storage, drivers, OS, background load)
In-game scene complexity, multiplayer player count, mods
Driver updates and game patches after this estimate was made
Display, thermals, and how your case manages airflow

If you want a measured number for your specific build, the only reliable answer is to benchmark it yourself once you own the parts.

Balance

Well-matched

Your CPU and GPU are well-matched at 4K gaming — measured against real FPS data (median 101 fps across 5 demanding AAA games), neither side is meaningfully holding the other back. Your CPU is already the strongest gaming chip you can buy.
