They’re really nice cases. Just helped my bf with his new case, he got a Meshify C Mini, also really nice.

The images with the lighting don't do it justice, the lighting actually gives it a very subtle orange glow that really goes with the wood on the front, makes it look super clean! But anyways, specs: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Deepcool AK500 Zero DARK Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX G.Skill X5 32GB 5600MHz RAM Inland Professional NVMe PCIe 3.0 256GB SSD 2x Inland Professional 1TB SATA SSDs Gigabyte Windforce OC 3X RTX 2070 Super Fractal Design North Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 750W PSU Gigabyte M27Q monitor HP Omen 25 monitor Arzopa portable monitor Redragon K631 Pro (customized) Logitech G502 Hero

Finally got the Fractal Design North, and let me tell you, this case is freaking awesome! Best case I've ever owned or built in, it's 100% worth the money. My next upgrades will eventually be a new boot drive and PSU, but as of right now, they're still trucking along perfectly. I'll just grab those on sale.
(Also as you can tell from my backgrounds, I really like the Xeno series, and as you can tell from the shelves, I might like Godzilla)

It’s a game Tetsuya Takahashi wants to return to at some point in his life, but it seems square is content with just leaving it dead.

I beat Xenogears on my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, my bf backed up my save data and moved it over to my PS1 memory card.
Tested out the copy of Xenogears I got today, since that game is expensive AF and I wanted to make sure it worked, and my save data shows up! That's so dope. -
I have acquired the PSU for my mom's computer. Corsair CX750M. It was on sale at Best Buy.
Also found a CIB, basically pristine, copy of Xenogears on PS1 at my LGS, had to grab it.
-
The first parts of my mom’s new PC got here. Almost tempted to just use the stock cooler for now until I do eventually upgrade her to a K sku CPU (talking a couple years down the line). It’s a 12400F, like the only intel CPU that isn’t a nuclear reactor afaik. But also, been a hot minute since I built with an ATX board, forgot how big they are. My last few builds have all been Micro ATX or ITX

I'm fine with this for "drawing" and "animating" AIs.
-
I'll get the 50, cause I'll be using it for other things too, just wanted to make sure, appreciate the help!
-
Yeah, I'll just grab the XMT50 then, lol, thank you. I was just curious cause my BB used to sell Arctic MX4 in store but now only have this Corsair stuff.
-
Yes, I know how to repaste, I just need some more thermal paste and I need it fast lmao.
-
TM30 is $7.99, XTM50 is $14.99, and XTM70 $19.99. My local BB doesn't sell any other brands of thermal paste in store.
-
I need some new thermal paste by this weekend. I live in the middle of nowhere so Amazon doesn't have same day or one day shipping out here, and while it offers "two day shipping," it takes them a couple of days to ship my stuff anyways. My local Best Buy sells Corsair thermal pastes though. TM30, XTM50, and XTM70. All different prices. I've heard XTM70 is pretty good actually, but how about TM30 or XTM50? I'll be needing it for CPU and repasting a GPU, I won't be overclocking. Are all of them pretty decent or should I just pay the extra for the XTM70?
-
Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, Overwatch, Fallout. I've quit several, for different reasons of just, losing interest, or if the company that owns said franchise is just scummy af.

Yeah, we had perfectly serviceable computers before this with 8th gen i7s, 16GB of ram, and low end RTX quadros. We did not need an upgrade for what we do, but they went about it anyways lmao
-
We got new computers at work and they’re complete overkill.
Core i9 13900
32GB ram
RTX A2000 12GB

Actually for most people, it does. I like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but outside of say, Spider-Man 2 and GoW Ragnarok, and Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5, what reason is there really to buy either of them? Meanwhile there’s like 100 reasons to buy a Switch when counting exclusives. Now granted with Xbox you can just play their games on PC, but the average consumer doesn’t care about that. Exclusives give people incentives to buy a console cause its games are experiences you can’t find anywhere else.

She plays games, lol

I am in the process of getting my mom a PC upgrade, and I took advantage of Newegg's 15% bundle.
I went with a Z690 board mainly for future proofing. I know that LGA1700 is getting it's final gen with Raptor Lake Refresh, but with this board seemingly to be one of the more decent-ish boards, if in the future, I could put in an i7 14700K or something to get more life out of it.
Here is the parts list for any who want to see.

Only reason I didn't go with AM5 for her also was because of prices on DDR5. Only reason I went AM5 and upgraded when I did was because my 2700 was showing it's age, and I was at microcenter and could take advantage of a bundle.

Your unpopular (non-political, non-offensive) opinions!
kaiju_wars replied to pythonmegapixel's topic in Off Topic
I think AI is stupid. Not all AI, but AI that people use to "make videos for them" and "draw art for them." It's all soulless and I don't think it should be encouraged. I think AI can have a really good impact in other ways and situations. I just don't think using it as your main content creation tool is the way to go. -
I have been, been using it to play Fortnite and Helldivers 2 on it with no issues.

My bf got an ultrawide monitor, so he gave me his old Gigabyte 1440p monitor. My first 1440p monitor too. It's pretty dope, and it has freesync premium so it works with my 2070 Super. It's funny too, he got one after I told him later down the line once I finish getting the new SSD and case for my PC, I was wanting an ultrawide.
I'll keep this monitor for the time being, but I do eventually want an ultrawide. It's also nice to have something besides 1080p for my PC, and the 2070 Super holds up with 1440p surprisingly well.
-
3440x1440p is awesome highly recommend it. 1440p is great too, if I were you I would just skip 1440pUW. Enjoy it

What components are safe to cheap out on?
kaiju_wars replied to YoungBlade's topic in General Discussion
I used to always try to do budget builds as, "skimp on everything you can to get the best GPU you can." But nowadays I look at budget builds a little differently. I tend to put a little bit more money into the PSU and motherboard. PSU is obvious. Mobo because even if you plan on only getting say, a Core i5 12400F, or a Ryzen 5 8500G right now, getting a better board now should (in theory) last you a couple generations that it can handle a much better CPU down the line. Like I'm slowly acquiring the parts for my mom's new PC. I got her the 12400F (first new Intel build for me in years), and I paired it with an ASRock Z690 board. She can't OC the i5... but the board does have support for the Core i9 14900KS... not that she needs a nuclear reactor for a PC, but my point is there. (It's the same reason I went with my Gigabyte board, it's not a high end board, but it's a respectable midrange board). -
Redragon K631 PRO keyboard and Tangerine 62G switches. The keyboard is hotswappable with 3 and 5 pin switches, I've already applied them to the keyboard. Love how these switches feel!

Is it just me that hates modern computers?
kaiju_wars replied to ToneStar's topic in General Discussion
My friend had a PC I helped him build with parts found for stupid cheap. His GPU had no backplate, but a red PCB, the MOBO was a blue PCB, RAM was green PCB, but it still performed well for the price he paid. It was fun to look at, like he got an amazing bang for buck. Wasn't uniform at all, but it still was neat and interesting to look at with how it turned out.
