Ha... not exactly. The 3070 Ti was a queue pop. This 3080 was a Step-Up which I fully intend on using in my own rig.

Nah... it's an FE card which I will probably put in a separate PC or give to a friend. We'll see what I end up doing with it, but I'm not interested in parting ways with it.

Seems like a status update.

 

The 960 is the only part of this with any real value, and that only because of the, er, unprecedented times we live in.

You bought a GTX960 with extra packaging.

 

$140 for a GTX 960 seems like a decent price these days. If you're planning on keeping the system and using as is then the rest is a bonus, especially if you didn't already have a system. If you're planning on selling the parts individually though the old FX 8120 CPU, DDR3 memory, EVGA PSU, and 1tb HDD aren't really worth that much these days. Most of the value is in the GPU due to the ongoing shortages.

Purchased these today and replaced my LPX modules with them. So far, they run great and trying to see if the old sticks were a problem I was facing in games. Crucial Ballistix 32GB CL16 32GB (2x16GB) kit.

Bought these as a Christmas present for my 13 year old niece.

She specifically asked for, and I quote "pink headphones, with a microphone, LEDs and cat ears on it". Apparently she saw a streamer with some and she wanted them. *VERY AUDIBLE SIGH*
So my choices were either this one with good reviews at $65 CAD, some cheapo one at $30 with either zero or with awful reviews or the Razer Kraken Kitty(the ones the streamer had I believe), for $150-$220... I wasn't about to pay that much just for a girlified version of the Kraken when the normal black version without all that junk is $75, so this is the one I ended up going with.

 

I tried them before packing them up, just to make sure they weren't DOA. Sound is ok, mic is clear, more or less comfortable (requires the volume to be at 100% to be audible, that's kinda bad). But lord that "vibration technology" a such a bad gimmick, all it does is add "vibration" in the form of extra bass. And it distort the sound. Just awful. At least it can be disabled.

iPhone 13 Pro Max 256gb in that blue colour. I don't exactly hate the colour, but it's not as nice as last years blue.

 

Spoiler

 

 

Got it as an upgrade on my phone plan, which was nice as this happened to my 11 Pro Max, hoping it's still covered under Apple Care. Which i'll find out tomorrow as my Apple Care for it expires in a week..

Apple replaced my broken 11 Pro Max under Apple Care, turned around & flipped it for neat $1000 today.

 

Also not pictures is the 2M USB-C MagSafe charger for the new iPhone.

Used a gift card on a new keyboard--finally! I chose the K55 based on my budget and LTT's video. I know it's not mechanical...

Oh God George looks like Kyle's cousin from South Park. I never understood the appeal of these.

No idea. My 7 currently runs on a "73% health" builtin battery (read: 2 hours) and idk what the SMB's battery is at.

The 6S w/ a new battery lasted a day, so maybe a day and a half or two?

[Squeebus]

Got tired of headsets and went for ear buds and standing mic. We will see I suppose

Thats some spontaneous combustion waiting to happen there.

 

Most recent purchase is a 5600x that is acting as my temporary CPU until my 5950x RMA goes through. Will be selling it to a friend that is building a PC in a few months.
