    The NZXT is fine, strictly speaking. So if they want to do that, I would go for the NZXT.

    I mean, with the Newegg you will generally get a better PSU already. And you save $50, which is roughly the difference in cost between 10400F and 11400F.

    Where are you going to get a GPU from right now?
     
    Newegg prebuilts are pretty good if you have someone who is relatively good at troubleshooting tech, perhaps such as yourself. 
    Most of the time they work fine, just for the occasional moment when they don't.

    The only changes I'd make here is a new CPU cooler.

    Any concrete suggestions then? I have not really bought any new hardware in the past year or two due the market. This build is not for me but a new person getting into building/owning their own rig. I can give them a decent 650w bronze psu for superflower I have laying around I figured.

    I recognize that you can build your own pc with better components the issue is trying to find a 3060 ti  or better somewhere at a decent price right now and I have no idea where to look without paying way more than its worth. 
    Edit: Also the sabrent is a QLC drive better off paying 10 usd more for a tlc like the p5 imo.

    There is no cooler, short of maybe LN2, that will let you get anywhere near 5GHz on a Ryzen chip. Even the luckiest people top out around 4.2 to 4.4 GHz on their chips.

    that increased space should improve thermals, but going from 1070ti to 1080 is a dumb investment.

    Nintendo has done it. They have made paying to backup your save data a thing.

    combine1237 reacted to Mira Yurizaki in Can you rent an off site drive and how much?   
    Sure, you could rent a VPS or something if you need direct writes. But it'd be cheaper to have the camera write to a local storage and regularly upload it to a cloud backup service like Backblaze.
     
    I think you could also use a cloud drive app to do a quasi real-time write if you have the camera save videos in the cloud drive sync folder and have the cloud drive app always update.
