    DragonsRift reacted to 8tg in trying to get into the computer repair industry not sure where to start (unsure where to post this)   
    Go get an A+ certification, most schools will have a program for one. Stick that on your resume and apply at basically any PC repair store to start building up a more detailed resume.

    like with any job that benefits or requires a specific certification, class a commercial driving, pipeline construction, whatever, it’s that first year and the investment into the education that’s really important

    Then your resume says you know what you’re doing and recruiters start looking for you, a lot more doors open beyond just computer repair stores, into larger scale service depots or enterprise systems maintenance.

    MS-DOS
    DragonsRift got a reaction from MS-DOS in GPU is dead.. should I buy a 1660 super and wait for a year or two for a mega monster GPU update? (CPU is 3950x)   
    Personally I would run a used gtx 1070 or 1080 they go for about the same price as the 1660 super/1660ti though I know a lot of people don’t trust used hardware. But honestly the 1660 super is a little weak for that cpu. I do believe waiting is a good idea though with gpus being priced how they are right now. Only time will tell though who knows how much the rtx 3000 series might cost.

    An i5 8600k is a good option too, having good single threaded performance running about $250, and a motherboard for it will cost about $130
