Have the money for 5090 but...

[WARburton]

Buying the 5090 would probably do me another 10 years but should I do it?

What are you expecting it to cost? Because people are saying £2200

You can build a solid 4k system for 2200 never mind just a GPU

This thread is so cringy, so embarrassing.

Treat yourself, get a life.

My 480 almost lasted me 8 years and it didn't cost £2000.

He doesn't need to spend that much.

Well super I’m happy for you? I sold me rx480 8 years ago. What’s your point on what he needs to do????

Also I defo didn’t say he should buy a 5090, my post was very sarcastic as if to say.. you do t need to spend £2200

No, waste of money. Sounds like a 5070/Ti would do you a fair while (as long as you were updating the rest of the system too).

This. And get yourself an OLED monitor. You would still have money left over.

I've inherited 115k

I would stick that into a BTL

Genuine advice, no don't do it. A house + £115k is very nice, and nothing to be sniffed at, but if you view it as 'money to burn' then you won't make the most of it and will get through it very quickly.

Be sensible - invest it, save it, and spend in moderation on things that you'll actually get use out of. You'll actually appreciate it more this way too.

Exactly. Use the money to help achieve financial freedom and retire earlier. Create a long lasting income stream that requires you to do little.

Get into Sim-racing. The 5090 will be the cheap part.

Amongst all the chatter in this thread there is some sound advice, someone worked hard for that money, don't fritter it, make it work hard for you. For your use case buy mid-range now, invest the rest, you will earn plenty off the investment to keep you in mid-range upgrades for life.

I have money to burn due to inheritance

better things to spend it on than a £2000 gpu once the money is burnt its gone for ever

Yes. And post screenshots.

Watching other people squirm over your money has been hugely entertaining on this thread.

but if your heart is set on it go the whole hog and order a custom built system

Love that film. Might have to be one to watch over the holidays.

Had my mate round for a curry last night and we stuck this on. So funny. We then found out there are like 14 different film versions of Brewsters Millions and theres a sequel - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31955992/

Condolences on whoever died

I haven't had a new system for near a decade and have been chomping at the bit to buy since July. I only have a 34 inch 60hz monitor and only a light casual gamer. Buying the 5090 would probably do me another 10 years but should I do it?

Get a nice new system and good OLED monitor. Since you are only a casual gamer, consider buying something in the midrange end of the market, the 5070Ti should be perfect for you. this would last you four or five years no problem. The OLED monitor will make games/movies look fantastic.

And maybe consider getting into VR.

5070 / 5080 will be fine for most gamers and then upgrade in two years.

buying the flagship is costly but its your money

 

[hornetstinger]

Blow it all on big pile of white sugar and store it in your back garden, next to some bees.

 

[darkblade]

Surprised no one has already asked, but if you are only a casual gamer, do you have any interests that you are more passionate about?
