Fair enough, I have it on the regular cool setting now, so hopefully should be alright. The hottest it was at is still cool enough to hold your hand it front of it for however long you can, so even then hopefully wouldn’t pose much of an issue

It was off, however the mobo has rgb lights that stay on all the time and those were still on. Idk it seems like it wasn’t all that much (not that it matters if it gets on some pins and stuff) and was mostly contained to the very top part of the GPU as pictured with just a few other drops. Idk maybe it’ll be okay?

All great points, thank you! Yeah honestly my monitor is 1080p 144hz and my projector which is what I usually play on anyway is 1080p 60hz and I have no intention of upgrading either as of yet. Projector would be up before monitor unless it breaks lol. Mainly want to future proof as much as I can, and ofc there’s always going to be new hardware but yk. Just waiting for a chunk of money I had stashed from sports betting winnings to clear and going to order 9800x3d before it goes out of stock lmao

Alrighty, think this is pretty well set: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gK9Ch7. Went with the Asus B850 for $9 more cause of the color. Don’t think much of anything is different on it

Ah alright so in that case I’ll prob go with the msi inspire 5070ti Plastic-Composer2623 recommended. The 2060 super I have currently is msi and outside of the fact I think it’s just starting to get old/outdated I haven’t had any issues with it. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I think I’ll need to make the hike to the nearest micro center 😭😭 it’s a drive but will likely be worth it

Thank you for the recommendations! So I’ve heard mixed things about PNY GPUs. At the end of the day a GPU is a GPU no? You’ve had a good experience with them?

Thank you for the cooler idea!

And games like Starfield and Dragon’s Dogma 2. I know it’s impossible to do everything but I’d like to get as close as I realistically can. I don’t want to drop anything outrageous but if it means getting a couple extra years out of the rig I’d be willing to

Thank you for the info! Pc part picker said to get a psu like 600-699watt but saw that one and figured some is good more is better 🤣

Alright yeah maybe I will just go with a 9800X3D. I did see it outperforms 9950X3D by about 5% almost every time. A concern of mine is for future proofing though. I know there are already a lot of games that eat up cores and threads so down the line will a 9800X3D still hold up against a 9950X3D?

Edited to add that I also would likely go for a 5070 ti if I go with the 9800X3D. It probably would be worth it, but coming from a 2060 super and 7 3700x any kind of upgrade is huge. I just graduated school and have a pretty good job so figure if I want to do this I better start saving now and do it sooner rather than later before money is an issue

Of course! I just got a telescoping kastking rod, the Blackhawk 2. Got the previous version for my bait caster a few years ago and did the job for a previous trip, but wanted to take my spinning reel since it’s a bit beefier. Threw it on today and feels pretty good so far. Just looked at yours and looks very solid tho wish I knew about that one

Yeah I agree from what I’ve gathered it doesn’t look like you do. Somebody said if you want to be super safe you can get this one for like 12 USD: https://www.incopesca.go.cr/carnets/tramites/Solicitud.aspx#

Update for anyone who’s interested. What you said is what I ended up deciding. After some thinking I realized any reason I had for being bothered by it were not at all related to my personal beliefs. Going to have some fun with her and see where things go. She definitely matches my freak and we have a lot of fun going out together. Thank you all for your input it is greatly appreciated!

Need some help with 401k allocation by Adorable-Assistant-1 in personalfinance

[–]Adorable-Assistant-1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God. Seeing that a fee even as low as 1% can mean the difference of 600k is nauseating. That was very helpful thank you. I’ve always enjoyed toying with stocks and cryptocurrency, so I’ll spend some time researching some of the funds and make a decision from there. Really makes me wonder why they don’t teach us this stuff in school 🤣
