Well I pick up a 2017 Kia Forte5 EX tomorrow. 9000 Miles, 14.5k. Put $1000 down which brought interest to a fairly reasonable rate and despite being on a 5 year loan going to shoot to have it done in 4.
Oh and being the end of the month we talked them down from the original I think 15.5k they wanted

Car shopping is fun..
Parents are kind of listening to what I want and it's within range since they want to be involved in looking with me. With payment insurances etc I can afford upto a max of 14k but I've found some nice 12-13k which is better for me. Thing is while looking, I'll show one I pointed out but then points out that it's a 2015.. it has 26,000 miles >.>
Then goes.. "OH, here's a 2014 with 32,000 miles" What??? Hardly makes sense on some of the cars they're pointing out.. then he finds the electric equivalent of the one I like and points out all the features.. ok it's electric and the gas one has the exact same features which honestly just come as pros to me at this point. For example it's a 2015 Volkswagon Golf with 26k Miles for 13k. Test drive went wonderful, little to no exterior damage, brand new tires, interior is flawless etc etc. Hardly becoming a help when they keep pointing out things I either don't care about or are really pushing my budget. I really love the color of this one too (which also doesn't matter as I've looked at grandma green and beige cars also). Oh well, hope they at least go out and look at it so I don't have the hear about them not being involved. Even at a stupid interest rate and warranty added on it'll fall within budget but the silly interest rate was just kind of pushing the "worst case scenario"
Sorry rant over, still thinking of the Ryzen CPUs but things have to be cut to afford a car. Getting a raise soon and going to negotiate with my managers tomorrow or at minimum get something scheduled as they seem to already have me set for orientation for the new position so they need to know I absolutely am not going into this blind. Hoping for $13-$13.5/h and full time, department I go to isn't a big deal though I hope to stay in mine. Also the reason I can afford this is decent ability to manage money and my grandparents letting me live with them rent free, I just keep up with their lawn which damn near covers the price of rent anyways as I had my old landscaping boss give an idea on how much he would charge to mow this crazy ass lawn and it was like $280 every two weeks.

The mesh panel on the front of the P400a will be compatible with the P400(s) cases

Late August, all new airflow for my case. Airflow was never terrible but it'll allow me to keep my fans a bit lower etc

Am I the only one who doesn't like these "Ring" RGB fans? Much prefer the like HD120s from Corsair but they pushed their stupid little controller thing so they can't be controlled by software >.>
Also hoping that the front panel on the Phanteks P400a will be mountable to a P400s and sold separately. Might snag some ML120 RGBs fan if so. ML120s have done me great good with the restricted airflow.

GPU market is a shit show for high end lol
Even used is stupid and 1080Tis are still going for a hefty sum.

Alright time to figure this out.. installed the 4 sticks of RAM, one of them has inverted LEDs so instead of top half purple bottle half yellow, it's top half yellow bottom half purple and there doesn't seem to be a way to simply just adjust the colors of a single stick or I'd just flip it.

Really hope they actually make an mATX X570 board. Doesn't even have to be good.
Also got an NZXT H400 for $40. I'll get a different board for cheap but hoping for some X570's at least.

Hm shit thinking about it... only thing I maybe would want would be a better keyboard since I literally just got some open box decent logitech keyboard because I broke my old one and needed one to last few some months. Ducky Shine 7 is what I'd want and then I guess 2 27-32" 1440p IPS monitors to better my secondary monitors. Though.. I guess that means having to buy a wall mount and moving my desk to a different part of the room to make room for it. Other then that.. I mean a 3900x or 3950x would be nice, I guess I only need a mobo and what not. Maybe I'll wait a few months and snag a return mobo from Micro Center and bundle it .

Don't ask why but 64GB kit of RAM incoming and 1TB NVMe ssd
I've also told myself that I'd buy Ryzen when AMD comes in with the crushing blow, the 16c sku tempts me to no other but I don't quite think it's the crushing blow, more of a Intel's on the ground and still has some life in the back of their head blow.

Hm... long time no talko.
Tomorrow is last day of High School

Got a job at Lowe's, been getting 36-40 hours a week and this week I'm even getting 10 hours of OT
Already been asked to stay and going to push for full time. Probably going to go into an Agriculture Degree to keep tech as my hobby, electrical engineering was really fun but it took out of the actual hobby part. Landscaping kind of is like a hobby but is something I enjoy doing more for others unlike tech. Might do this and push to go to OSU for their Landscape Architecture program and see where that takes me. When in doubt if I keep up what I'm doing at Lowe's it's giving me plenty of experience on a bit of power equipment which can be used to get a better job in about a year or so. Uhhh tech related probably spending $500 soon on a new mic setup and just redid the liquid metal on my CPU and applied new paste to my 1080Ti and might look into whatever new CPUs come out.

My boat sunk not 3 seconds after the clip ends

These people review bombing two great games because of a deal >.>
Oh well, salty consumers will be salty as usual.

The amount of people getting their panties in a twist over the big boys doing exclusive deals. Oh well, you aren't stopping it.. money will speak louder than what you're doing and people are still buying the game. Don't want 3 different programs launched? I mean, ya ain't playing 3 games at once..

Ok I've simmered down on Atlas.. only 65 hours in the past two weeks monkaOMEGA
But I probably slowed down due to the asshole that came around our area on an RP server
Not to be rude.. but it's not that he's ass at RP, most people here are pretty ass as it's a lot of our first times but he just didn't even try or attempt to correct his mistakes. He was playing it like a normal PVP servers with some slight restrictions that basically assured him that if he avoided it, he couldn't get raided >.>

My buddy has a GTX 750 and FX-6100. I got him to get a 1050Ti at one point and we installed it over skype lol..
I'm going to guide him through getting a replacement mobo, cpu and ram

Why have I sank 66 hours into Atlas already... and why don't I see an end to me playing it... We're on official servers having fun and I plan on going into an RP server...

Ight.. anyone think they can squeeze in a R5 2600, 8GBs of RAM and a motherboard into no more than $260, at MOST $270 for a friend? He's not got a whole lot but has been putting a bit of money away for awhile. Try to keep in mind shipping/like on Amazon where taxes apply. It can go slightly over but not to much
