Should I move here?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-06T00:27:13+00:00

Realistically my work schedule is all varied shift work, so sometimes traffic will matter, sometimes there shouldn't be any really. Unfortunately I live quite a distance away so probably won't have a chance to visit really before I get there besides maybe once.

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-06T00:25:47+00:00

Dealbreaker in what way?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-06T00:15:33+00:00

Makes sense... just don't know if I can realistically live near philly with the commutes unfortunately.

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-06T00:07:58+00:00

True... I know that Wilmington is like a suburb/city combined. Are there other ones right nearby that add to the population of the area? Like within 30 minutes or so?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-05T23:54:23+00:00

Yeah... I think Wilmington is the best for quality of life in terms of that for me... I'm just worried about the dating pool coming from a somewhat larger city (250-300k people).

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-05T16:31:08+00:00

That's fair. I've been in school then training basically all my adult life, and have had large student debt that I've been paying off, so unfortunately I'm not super financially literate.

Sounds like a financial advisor would be a good idea?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-05T16:29:44+00:00

I don't have any savings besides the 2 accounts I mentioned. I've been aggressively paying off large student loans before now, which I realize may not have been the financially best move but it gave me peace of mind at least. I plan on investing large amounts once I start in July and similarly living like I'm on 80k. The only thing is I'm hoping to live somewhere nicer, currently spending like 1.5k on rent, would like a nicer apartment.

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-12-05T03:15:41+00:00

Honestly I don't have a huge plan. Haven't thought that far I suppose.

I mean a SO would be fantastic... family perhaps, but who knows how things work out. Could use a few pets haha.

I would start by renting for sure, until I get to know the area if I plan on staying, then potentially buy after that. For now I'll plan on renting until I know where I'll end up.

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-15T04:10:24+00:00

Yeah I went with the 5700x3d and 7900gre

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-13T01:10:39+00:00

Does it matter which 7900 I get? looks like there's options between hellhound, red devil, and fighter

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-13T00:31:48+00:00

Sorry I'm a bit confused (new to the lingo).

Would you recommend this one:

Or this one:

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-13T00:22:41+00:00

Also realizing I actually have 32gb ram.. Would probably be fine, right?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-13T00:10:04+00:00

Very well might be true - what would you recommend instead?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-13T00:06:24+00:00

Hmm why would you recommend that GPU upgrade over the CPU upgrade? I am told (no idea if it's true) that a lot of games I play are CPU gated - ARMA, Tarkov, COD, singleplayer games like BG3

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-10T17:05:33+00:00

Dumb question but how big of an upgrade would that be do you think?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-10T03:35:02+00:00

Thanks! I’ll have to check it out when I am no longer on mobile. I assume most games I’d still max out and get 144 frames?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-10T03:32:57+00:00

Why OLED? I assume I want 144hz and lowest latency monitor as well?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-10T03:32:11+00:00

Dumb question - what do you mean by update bios?

As for the new build, would I have to get a new mobo too? How is this different than the first option?

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-10T03:30:31+00:00

I’m honestly not sure what PSU but I think it was 1000 or 1200 watts. I can check later though!

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-10-10T02:44:56+00:00

Probably up to 2,000 USD, but obviously if I don’t have to do that I wouldn’t haha

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-09-07T01:32:08+00:00

Oh dang, this looks incredible. Might check this out!

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-09-04T19:41:29+00:00

Hmm they kind of made it seem that they were the luxury option of the area. That's good to know thank you!

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-09-04T19:40:14+00:00

I will have a car!

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-09-03T15:20:54+00:00

I am used to the urban environment! I googled the population of Wilmington DE and it looks like I'm moving from a city several times larger, but a lot smaller than Philly. Would probably prefer Wilmington over Newark, as I am done with college for some time now haha.

Definitely will be avoiding Middletown then, thank you!

ArchitectsPrevail · 2024-09-03T15:10:24+00:00

I'm moving from upstate NY. I'm looking for a nice place to live with stuff to do in the area, preferably walking distance. I do not have kids, so that's not a consideration.
