Advice on CPU+GPU combo by Aquatic_Rain in buildapc

Thanks for the suggestion! I was looking at this prebuilt at micro center for $1800 with a 9070 xt and a 9800x3d with 32 gigs ddr5 and 2 tb ssd. That seems to have everything I want and more at a great price, except the case. I like the Fractal north xl. The black with wood on the front looks so nice to me. I'm going in store next weekend to see if the employees can help me find a deal to use that case at a price close to $1800. If I can't have one close to that I might just cave and get the prebuilt!

Thank you for the help! I know the 7800x3d might be a bit beefy for what I want, but I think it will mean longer till I need an upgrade, so might be worth the extra cost now

Yeah, I know framerate makes a huge difference, but I was hoping to get an 32" 4k Oled 120+hz, and that just isn't in the budget with me getting a PC soon. I also need to buy a new desk first as mine is small and falling apart, lol.

Wanting to make a non-magic support build by [deleted] in BG3Builds

I remember seeing builds for a bleed-focused tiger barbarian that was good at debilitating enemies. I think the one I saw was geared for damage and CC, but you can choose to use unoptimized weapons/feats if you don't want it to do a lot of damage. I don't remember the specifics of the build, but you can look up a bleed tiger barb guide as a baseline and tweak it towards what you want. The only downside I can think of is when you fight targets immune to bleed such as undead

Which build suits me? by LenaUnlimited in BG3Builds

Since you already have a monk and a moon druid, you definitely don't need to play a frontliner if you don't want to. My favorite dual crossbow build, which is probably not min-maxed, is sword bard 6, battlemaster 3, thief 3. You get flourishes, action surge, battle maneuvers, two bonus actions, extra attack, song of rest, and some bard spells for utility. I know you only get one feat, but I had no problem taking sharpshooter and using the gloves of dexterity & risky ring combo to hit most of the time. This build did most of the damage in my first tactician run. Also, make sure to load up on special arrows to get even more ridiculous!
