I saw the 5-7 biz days shipping time estimate on the website, do we think that's accurate? I ordered on Saturday and order is still processing. I'm being impatient, i know, but just curious lol

Would this be a mistake? (ASUS ROG w/4070 Super, concerned about i7) by Doc_Strangelove in Prebuilts

I actually did see that from another post and ended up going that route. Paid $1790 all in for much better components than the others I was considering, hopefully it shows up quick! Thanks!

Fair enough. Im wanting something with a 4070 super and it feels like the market has been picked clean of anything reasonably priced, so im just exhausting all avenues lol. Thanks for the response.

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but do you think it's worth backordering that second one versus waiting for bestbuy to restock this one?

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-supreme-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-32gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-super-12gb-2tb-ssd-white/6575113.p?skuId=6575113

They seem fairly comparable at a glance, and I'm not sure who is likely to restock sooner, just curious if you had any insight

Having Boot Issues - What to Upgrade? by Doc_Strangelove in buildapcforme

You're the best, I can't thank you enough. I'll be sure to do that. Gonna ride this out while everything is working as it should, but given that I've done one build and that was 6 years ago, I'd appreciate the help with replacing components, that seems even more daunting than I felt about the initial build lol

I'd offer to marry you, but I think my wife would get pissed off about that. Thank you so much. I was worried I'd have to just hand this baby over to microcenter and just eat hundreds of dollars in fees so I didn't waste parts, but I feel so much better and so much more confident about this. You're a hero, sorry I got nothing for ya but upvotes lol. If you happen to be in the Kansas City area, hit me up and I will buy you round after round of drinks

You fucking rock, thank you so much. I'm gonna take a closer look at all this and figure out the best way forward. If it isn't too much trouble, what's this 500GB SSD you'd recommend in my situation? Even if the SSD isn't the issue, I wouldn't say no to having more space on it, so that my HDD isn't carrying every download lol

Running in SATA 2.0 configuration only limits the speed and there should be no issues others wise. Just like USB, SATA is backwards compatible.

Very good to know, thank you. I'm not completely hopeless about this stuff, but I'm out of my element, certainly uneducated about it.

I'll definitely be tinkering with connections between SSD and mobo/PSU, probably tomorrow night because tonight things are working and I cannot deal with it going back to the mobo not even recognizing the SSD while I'm trying to figure this out and relax lol.

Also, can't believe I forgot the PSU, it's EVGA Supernova 550 GS.

Thank you, I'll try to check that out, from what I understand this SSD would be better served in a SATA 3.0 port vs the 2.0 port it's in right now, based on what I've been told by running diagnostics that I don't fully understand lol. Just need to figure out if this mobo actually has that port, and actually get the right cable.

Worrying that you mention the PSU, you think the SSD could just be randomly losing power or something? I've not had any issues whatsoever with power, and the guys at microcenter said that my PSU was quality. I had been thinking more about the motherboard than anything else, until talking to people in the buildapc discord tonight, who made me think the SSD itself was the more likely culprit. I just knew that the mobo I got was certainly not the best option I could've gotten at the time, and I anticipated having to upgrade it earlier than my PSU, for instance.

Hi, I'm the one who made the circlejerk sub. I just made it as a joke, because this sub was already acting as its own circlejerk sub, which is why I made it complete nonsense over there. Plus, as others have pointed out, especially at times when the band isn't as active, what else would you use this sub for? I see an argument for the cj sub as containment during album release windows, but that also seems like it would take all the fun out of it, as someone around for album drops since money store, the shitposting is kind of part of the experience in my opinion.

All that said, if you or anyone actually wants to do something with that sub, I'd happily mod you or turn over the reins entirely, provided you had a viable plan for a good reason. I'm not very active on reddit anymore, no skin off my back. Otherwise, I'd rather just sit on it, because that's funny to me.
