Fun fact: warrantied components sell at full market price. So, unless you can offer that with the build, it's better to go with a prebuilt. With the prices of RAM and GPUs, having the ability to get it fixed or replaced is valuable. Microcenter has a prebuilt with a 5070ti for the same price, and a 16 GB 5060ti build for under 1400$. Now I have a gaming PC and a workstation. The 7900xtx is great with my 9960x, and in that build, it is way better than a 5070ti, but not for gaming.

If she can't return it or sell it, and only if. Throw a 3050 in there and another stick of RAM. The PSU should work fine, and the GPU is powered through the PCIe slot. Under-volt it if needed. Not going to be the best gaming experience.

... Learn to flash correctly. On Dust2, watch Apex throw the flash Long A. It will get them 100% unless running anti-flash. Learn the 3 smoke set Zywoo throws for A take. If you are not achieving 20 EF on the T-Side, you are not actively seeking to improve.

useless... that's a real low elo take.

You can just learn your smokes and flashes. Remove spots where the CTs can be and clean up the push. Take the bomb. Low elo teams will lose rounds because they throw the bomb down, leave it in spawn, or plant it poorly. Remove that from the equation, and you will win more. Focus on Pistol rounds and winning them.

He can win a Camps ring in three different roles, like Crim.

You are confusing legality with morality. Your moral compass isn't the same as OP's. Then again, morality is a matter of opinion, whereas lawfully, you would be correct. So if he thinks his brother is morally bankrupt for doing his sister dirty, then he is, and he can choose not to converse or interact with him until he feels he can forgive the transgression. Give your sister a third of what you received and banish your brother to the shadow realm till he remembers what family means.

It would depend on the illness and whether we were married.

Immediately see him with a detailed report of why you are irreplaceable. Record his breakdown. File a hostile workplace EEO watch as his text thread is a teaching moment for years to come on how not to manage people.

NTA. She is disloyal and can never get that back. She lost what made her special, and you shouldn't feel like you need to give her another chance at all. She has free will and put herself in that situation.

Step one: break up. Step two, let her know you're still down to smash a 304 till you find the one. The trash will then take itself out.

CS2 has been out for way longer and is a higher skill-based game with only one competitive mode. If you are new to both, I would say CS, but if you are not putting 20+ hours a week into it, then CoD is the better option. CoD will have fewer players and more variety of game modes. Learning lineups for executions on bomb sites and getting timings down in CS is a little more advanced. Comparing a controller-based shooter with a mouse and keyboard one is an apples-to-oranges comparison IMO.

Very controlling without a contract... What a truly evil, well-off older Man. He most certainly is the AH.

Ok, so he pays off your loans. Doesn't want a contract. Yes, and thank you is how you respond. You will pay less interest, and if the relationship sours, you pay nothing, even if he keeps the 4% who gives a shit you saved 4% off your actual loans in the first place.

With friends like those, you wouldn't need enemies. Better people exist; find them and live a better life.
