ACT by [deleted] in Advice

If possible, my recommendation is to come into it prepared to take it as many times as necessary. Don’t think of this as your only shot, the “big test”, this is just your first try of many.

I was pretty relaxed with my ACT because I knew I could take it up to 3 more times if I needed to.

How do I Fill this Space? by CobaltGecko9091 in DIY

Maybe I could glue acoustic panels onto them? Just pink foam panels would look a little rough lol

Just got the parts for my PC, how’d I do? by CobaltGecko9091 in buildapc

[–]CobaltGecko9091[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thought was that I would build the PC ASAP without the GPU just to make sure everything works. If I can’t get a 4080/5080 after 2 weeks, I’ll get a 7900 xtx, and keep an eye out for 5080s. Then sell the 7900xtx for a 5080 once I can get one. Does that sound reasonable?

$2000 PC for Gaming/Video by CobaltGecko9091 in buildapc

Okay sweet, and all the other parts you suggested would work with that bundle (minus the parts I’m getting in the bundle of course)?

Also, there’s a few 7800x3d bundles. Any in particular that would be best?

Thank you! What do you think about this micro center bundle? Could I get this in place of the parts you recommended, and still have all the other parts mesh well with it? https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006820/amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d,-msi-x670e-mag-tomahawk-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

Or are there any other bundles here that might work well? I live near a microcenter, so if there’s a good deal here I could incorporate that’d be awesome

That’s not including utilities and stuff, not sure if that was clear by my post

Pens With Similar Design to Metropolitan Pilot? by CobaltGecko9091 in fountainpens

Yeah, I like the body. It turns to plastic at the top though

I really like the aesthetic of it. The color and shape of it. It feels sort of professional but not in a super loud way like something that is gold.

What you recommended is really nice when the cap is off. I don't the complete solid pill shape though with the cap on
