currently have a 3080 with a dying gpu and i’m looking to upgrade, wondering if this is a good deal or should i fork over a bit of extra cash to get something better.
Budget: 3000$ USD with room to add more if needed
Country: USA
Use Case: Gaming (obviously)
Preferred Specs: Pretty much anything that can handle heavy gaming for hours on end, preferably a high end cpu and gpu
Notes: Wondering if this is a good deal
My partner (18M) and I (22F) had a really rough start. Within the first month of dating (July 2025), I found out he had cheated on me multiple times, at least 4 different women, including an ex, and got one of them pregnant. He love bombed me heavily in the beginning with gifts, dates, and constant affection, which made it even more confusing.
We’ve been on and off since then. Every time we broke up, he would immediately move on to someone new (talking to other women or jumping into a new relationship the same day). I knew I deserved better, but the fear of him doing everything he did for me with someone else kept me holding on, hoping he would change.
We finally decided to get serious around December/January. But since the beginning of this year, he’s become extremely distant. We barely spend time together, intimacy has dropped off, and I constantly have to beg for the bare minimum. Our arguments revolve around this.
In February we briefly broke up, got back together, and then I found out he had cheated again and gotten another woman pregnant. He cut her off and said he loved me and wanted to make it work, so I took him back (I know how it sounds).
Now I feel completely emotionally conflicted. Some days I hate him, some days I still love him. I want to leave but I’m scared I won’t find better, and I’m worried about how much worse my mental health will get. This relationship has destroyed my confidence I constantly feel like I have to compete with or prove I’m better than other women because I’m terrified he’ll leave me.
I feel miserable, anxious, and stuck. How do I navigate this? Has anyone been in a similar situation? What helped you move forward?
Any honest advice is appreciated.
