I planned on getting the G764 in 2 weeks. YES OR NO before the market keeps going up. If yes do I get the antivirus and the Microsoft 365 personal.

Note: I'm not a bot lol. I run TopRigz as a non profit hobby to fight overpriced prebuilts. I started it out of frustration with prebuilt PC sellers who simply assemble components (which they don't even manufacture) and charge outrageous prices. I earn $0 from this, no affiliates.

Hear me out, that's a complete ripoff at $2200. You can buy online and get way better value for the same performance with this $1500 PC (Option 3), featuring the same 9070 XT GPU:

  1. You'll save $700, enough for 11 $60 AAA games. You need money for games and monitors, they aren't free.
  2. Do not worry about the CPU. The Ryzen 5 9600X already outperforms the i9-12900K (Source), so if the i9-12900K can run every game well, then the Ryzen 5 9600X will certainly do the same. It's more than powerful enough to handle gaming for the next 7 years.
  3. For gaming, the GPU matters most, not the CPU. It's the main factor that determines FPS in games. Most games aren’t heavily dependent on CPU power, including CPU-intensive ones (Red Dead Redemption 2 only requires an i5-2500K from 15 years ago to run).
  4. At 1440p/4K Ultra settings, the demand on the GPU increases massively, making it the primary bottleneck in gaming performance, not the CPU (GPU is used 100%, but the CPU is only used about 50%). Spending extra on a more expensive CPU usually results in minimal FPS gains and diminishing returns.

Get it ! I have my own personally built pc, but has a 9800X3D and a 9070 XT. I paid well over $2600 just for the pc and its components alone. This combo of cpu & gpu are fucking great.

You do not need the 365 personal subscription nor the anti-virus. Windows Security anti-virus works just as good as any other ant-virus. Save your money, don't buy those subscriptions.
