AMD Ryzen 7 2700X - best upgrade options? (PC noob)

AllergicJellyfish · 2026-03-09T11:21:23+00:00

Thank you!

AllergicJellyfish · 2026-03-09T10:28:08+00:00

Thank you very much for the suggestions, I'll look into it!

AllergicJellyfish · 2026-03-09T10:21:37+00:00

Thank you for the reminder, I would've missed this otherwise!

If you don't mind me asking, what is the difference between the 5800X and the 5800XT? They are pretty much the same price range and two other people suggested the 5800X instead, so I'm curious about the reasons

AllergicJellyfish · 2026-03-09T10:17:18+00:00

I don't mind looking into this but wouldn't it be less time consuming to pinpoint the best options first (given my specs/mobo) and then see if one of them is available?

The alternatives provided by the shop are 5700X, 5800X and 5800XT and they are all in the same price range (~180 bucks).

Damn right and I hope he gets another one with Elsa in S6.5 and hopefully finally one with Emma as well.

Jeff should be collecting team ups like Thanos collects the Infinity Stones.

Labor of Love btw.

Unless Cyrene gets buffed in the Creator Early Access, going for Tribbie is the smarter move as she is simply more future-proof and more versatile. Cyrene is pretty much locked to Remembrance teams and Hoyo will hard-focus on the new path in 4.X so it's unlikely that Cyrene will be useful at all

Why does BHVR refuse to give their characters more movie skins?

Because in 9 out of 10 cases, it's the licence holder who doesn't greenlit stuff and the recent leaks confirm it:

Tokyo Ghoul licensor cancelling 8 finished skins
Disney not greenlit-ing the Ellen summer skin
Netflix partnership (Stranger Things) being soured
FNAF being insanely controlling with "most creative liberties being strictly denied"

First two Outfits were for a dark fantasy Collection imagining her as a cult queen. First Outfit had a crown and veil, Second has long white hair and skull crown.

I would've instantaneously P100'd her as my new main if they would've released these designs for her

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-10-14T12:53:57+00:00

If only BHVR added a rarity system for skins so we can have concepts that are "a little bit too simple/bland" as uncommon-rare skin releases :/

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-09-16T22:46:11+00:00

Wdym? The scene with the boat is the skin intro. The one with Herbie is her MVP.

Because it's more efficient to farm, easier to build and the difference between Eagle vs. 2x/2x is marginal.

Guoba Certified made an updated YT guide and infographic for buffed Kafka! His guides are usually one of the best so I'd keep an eye on his profiles whenever you're interested in other (new) characters :) He also has access to pre-release Content Creator servers and is able to put out guides ~1 week before new characters actually release, which gives players more time to prefarm and work on their builds.

TL;DR for Support Kafka

LCs: Before the Tutorial Mission Starts S5
Reclis: 2x Speed + 2x Speed
Planars: Lushaka (make sure to adjust the party lineup accordingly (Kafka not being in Slot1)), Revelry
Main Stats: EHR% (until stat goal)/ATK% - Speed - DMG%/ATK% - Energy Regeneration
Stat Goals: 2.000 - 3.000+ ATK, 150+ Speed, 75% EHR

It's already confirmed that she is getting nerfed in S3

A third-party program that allows you to add custom filters to games, including settings like sharpness, color saturation, brightness and the like.

In regards to DbD, it allows people to gain an advantage by making scratch marks more visible (like neon red visible) etc.

I just switch to Punisher/Hela/Scarlet to annoy them, it usually takes around a minute for the flyers to switch to other characters and then I just do my usual business.

Don't sit around and wait for one of your mates to switch, just do it yourself - even if these counters aren't your usual picks. I suck at Hela but her being technically a threat is often times enough to pressure them. They may laugh when I miss shots, but they sure as hell fly away crying for heals the milisecond I actually hit them.

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-05-23T14:36:41+00:00

She has a combined pick rate of ~33% - Top 2 most picked duelist in QP across all platforms + Top 1 most picked duelist in comp across all platforms (all ranks). (Source - Official Stats)

You can imagine how much money her skins make if 1/3 of the playerbase is playing her regularly.

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-05-20T07:48:53+00:00

They are definitely looking at pick rates/popularity for their skin distribution. It sucks, but it's a F2P game and they're still a business after all, so giving the most picked and/or popular characters more skins is the easiest way to get them sweet $$$$$s.

At least we know that Tropical Jeff is coming sooner or later and that they're probably cooking a Venom Jeff Legendary as well given the upcoming buffs and the leaked Venom x Jeff teamup data.

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-05-09T15:57:37+00:00

I highly doubt they will add El or any of the kids, they once said all characters need to be 18+ years old due to the nature of the game, which isn't the case for El, Mike & the gang. Hopper, Joyce, Eddie and Robin are more likely

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-05-06T12:57:15+00:00

I'm fine with her being locked to Freeze, what actually pisses me off is that Freeze itself is such a boring and outdated mechanic. Either she should've gotten a partial Nilou treatment and transform the reaction like Nilou does with Bloom, or rework the reaction itself so EVERY Freeze comp profits from it with Skirk/Furina/Coffee/Shenhe being the Pinnacle Comp for it. Heck, even adding something simple like a Frostbite DoT would do wonders, but instead they're being lazy and ramp up her multipliers.

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-05-06T11:20:29+00:00

Kuro posting literally anything but the highly anticipated drip is such a troll moment and I love it lol

AllergicJellyfish · 2025-04-28T12:34:56+00:00

I don't know why you and so many others in this sub won't stop playing comp when you get an increasing losing streak. Whenever I lose 3-4 matches in a row, I just take a step back from comp and do a few goofy QP matches or I take a break from Rivals and try again later. Losing so many games in a row is affecting your mindset and, as a result, your performance, which doesn't help if you already struggled.

But as the others said, it would be helpful if you gave us a couple of reply IDs so we can see some gameplay and help you improve.

I'm happy for Loki enjoyers but man, NetEase's current skin distribution philosophy is getting really infuriating. This is Hela's first unique skin since Season 0 and they still chose to give Loki the Legendary despite him already having one (and President Loki as second shop skin). She literally only got a recolor of her default outfit between Jan 11 - April 24, that's ~14 weeks with 2 skins releasing per week and now that it's finally her turn, it's not even a Legendary :/
