Got a “5070” prebuilt… but my PC says 5070 Ti? Did I get lucky or scammed?
Hey everyone, I recently bought a prebuilt PC that was advertised and invoiced as having an RTX 5070. But after setting it up and checking in Task Manager, it shows RTX 5070 Ti instead. Now I’m confused. Did the seller accidentally upgrade me, or is there something sketchy going on (like a mislabel or fake reading)?

Finished build
Hey! I already showed you my PC back when it was still on the AM4 platform, so here it is now finished on AM5.
Here’s the full build:
PC:
-MB: Asus Tuf B850-Plus Wi-Fi
-CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D
-GPU: RTX 5070ti OC Asus Prime

This setup won’t change anymore—except maybe for an RTX 5080 Noctua x ASUS if I ever get lucky enough to get one.
Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback :)
Good Hardware BAD FPS
Hello guys, so those are the specs I have : RTX 3090 STRIX , CPU: intel 11900kf , 32GB Ram.
I'm playing deadlock and I used to play league of legends also.
on deadlock I'm using the lowest settings I could use, even used a cfg to make it look like a potato just for a test, but still with the worst settings I'm getting 100-150FPS on the game which looks weird to me with the specs I have.
I have 240hz monitor but I can't get the most of it because my pc doesn't give me more than 100-150fps on mid-late game, I'm not sure about the early game haven't noticed.
is there a way to fix it?

I’m not upgrading anytime soon…
CPU:

Best prebuilt gaming PC for my boyfriend!
Hi! I’m looking to surprise my boyfriend (24M) with a new gaming PC. His current one is getting outdated, but instead of upgrading, he wants to spend his money and buy me a new car—so I really want to do this for him.
My budget is around $2600 USD, and we’re located in the US! I’m looking for a prebuilt (I want it ready to go as a surprise). He plays games like Rainbow Six Siege, Rust, Valorant, Call of Duty, and some VR with full body tracking. He also streams and likes to multitask (gaming, music, etc.), so I want something really powerful that can handle all of that smoothly.
He also loves a clean white aesthetic, so that would be nice! He also loves that little screen that’s actually inside of a PC, I don’t know what it is, but I’ll include a picture. I definitely want him to have one of those.
Please make it an absolute beast of a PC. I want it to be extremely powerful and making him very happy.
Thank you so much!






Unfinished Build Left to Me
So my brother went off to college recently and he left behind some stuff including an unfinished pc build. I asked him about it and he told me if I could finish the build, I could keep the pc. The only problem is, I hav no clue what I’m doing. And I already have a pc that I use to play simple games so I don’t need one of his high performance builds. I was gonna sell it to buy console games. But of course I’d need someone to help me finish is building it bc again, I have rocks for brains when it comes to pc building.
I don’t have the specs(I’m so sorry), but I’ll be including pictures so maybe someone can help me identify the specs or just in general tell me what I need to do to finish the build! Thanks a tonnnnn
Themed Build
Mostly just wanted to show off tbh. This is my Natsuki themed PC. very happy with it. Perhaps you will enjoy looking at it too.

First solo build.
Been wanting to do it for a year but bit the bullet today with the Easter Sales... Wallet hurts. Little bit of buyers remorse but she'll be a weapon and last me for years. At least that's the plan.

Saved Victim
Just picked this pc up from my buddy who had it sitting around as a joke to make the worst looking running pc and I cleaned her all up and she's ready to dominate again like she did in 2015

My heart couldn't hurt more, I think I was just scammed.
A week or more ago, I was trying to buy an RTX 3070 on r/hardwareswap. I thought I met a trustable seller. Showed me images, everything, I even checked the universal scammer list so I thought it was legit. but it seems this dude was a scammer because when I bought it, he basically stopped responding (he sent a few messages but he's gone now. I can't even see old messages) and now I see that his account is gone. The transaction happened like 2 days ago so maybe there's chance to get my money back but it kinda hurts. I've been waiting to long to finally upgrade (I'm on GTX 1650).
