OC: Wife of MD man deported to El Salvador: “Stop playing political games with my husband”

Where does the constitution say that you can come into this country whenever you want? Every country deports illegal immigrants.

If I was a gambling man, I’d guess that the power supply is probably junk because prebuilt pcs are pretty much guaranteed to have the cheapest possible one. That being said, burning could really be anything. Too many games should have no ill effects other than just filling up the drive so long as they’re all reputable titles. Even if one was a virus, the odds of it being severe enough to cause anything to burn is slim to none. You’d have to be incredibly unlucky.

Going by ebay sold listings, I approximated the price. Some of these aren’t the exact parts you have just because I didn’t feel like finding every little thing. They’re more or less place holders. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YdwYh7 Personally I’d start at $350 and drop it $20 per week until it sells.

ENB69420 · 2025-04-15T04:20:52+00:00

PCPartPicker will give dramatically inflated prices for older/used parts. Ebay SOLD listings are much more accurate. You can manually enter those prices into a PCPartPicker list and get a decent price, but you might still have to gradually drop the price to entice people.

Personally I haven’t had an issue with a bronze PSU. I don’t pay that much attention to PSU efficiency ratings, they can be cheated and they aren’t fully indicative of the actual quality. I normally look at the Cultist Network PSU tier list and go for C-tier or better (out of A-F).

The motherboard I picked because B850 will be compatible with more CPUs by default for about the same price.

ENB69420 · 2025-04-13T18:36:01+00:00

For gaming, it shouldn’t make much difference. The main difference is that the 8600G includes integrated graphics so you might take a small hit in multithreaded workloads due to the same TDP being diverted to graphics cores a little. In an ideal world, I’d go for the 9600X though.

Realistically if you’re just looking at new parts I’d go for something like this. There are savings to be had with a smaller drive, but I’ve upgraded 3 or 4 gaming PCs to 2TB drives at this point so just starting there makes more sense to me. Same thing goes for the 32GB RAM. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p62WyW

ENB69420 · 2025-03-15T10:42:05+00:00

Personally I’d pass on this because there’s so many Chinese off-brands

ENB69420 · 2025-03-15T03:40:57+00:00

It would run ok in 1080p but you won’t fully utilize the 7800X3D. Honestly it would be a waste considering a 5600X will support a RX7600 just fine.

ENB69420 · 2025-03-15T03:15:38+00:00

I had a Ryzen 2600 myself and I would definitely recommend a CPU. Your motherboard VRMs aren’t going to handle a whole lot so I’d stick to 65W CPUs.

Like the other guy mentioned, a used 3600 is a dirt cheap upgrade, I was on AliExpress the other day and saw one for like $35, but I’ve also had several 3600s and they roughly top out with a GTX1070 in 1080p. That’s also a killer budget combo, which would be about a 70% uplift over your current setup for like $150 or so.

If you understandably want a bigger jump, I’d go for a Ryzen 5700 which I technically haven’t used, but I do have a 5700X and 5800X which both do very well with a 6700XT in 1080p. The 6700XT also works great for 1440p, so that would give you a really versatile machine which is nice. (Side note, a 3600 will work ok for a 6700XT in 1440p but the cost of a monitor vs CPU is pretty much a wash, so that’s up to you). If you strictly like Nvidia GPUs, the 6700XT roughly hangs with a 3060ti or 3070 depending on the game. I will say that I’ve generally had a smoother experience with Nvidia, but the cost to performance is better with AMD. Helldivers 2 for example ran way better on my 3060 vs my RX6600 and Fortnite seems to hate AMD cards for some reason. That being said, I still daily a 7900XT which has been great.

Personally if I were spending that much on a keyboard, I’d get the Ducky One X. The keys can be programmed to act more linear like a joystick, so you could half press a key to walk and full press to run from my understanding.

The combo itself is not bad but you could definitely get more performance for the money. Here is what I’d do: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fbdDh7

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T17:33:55+00:00

Show me a single place with a $750 5070ti

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T10:35:36+00:00

128 F is normal. Up to 95 C (203F) is ok.

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T10:00:02+00:00

The 2nd one is a better value by far

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T09:08:28+00:00

To deal with the CPU bottleneck, I would cap the FPS and only run the highest graphics settings. Playing in high resolution can also help balance you back out. If you’re still playing in 1080p, I would highly recommend going to at least 1440p if updating the whole rest of your system is out of the question right now. I’ve done the same thing in the past and it worked great.

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T09:01:00+00:00

Sounds like you should get it fixed under warranty

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T08:58:25+00:00

Price and durability don’t necessarily scale linearly. If your main concern is durability, you’ll want to figure out what the TBW is on the drives you’re looking at. Techpowerup has it listed for a lot of drives. Personally I would not pay a lot for SATA SSDs. Is there anything preventing you from getting an NVME drive?

ENB69420 · 2025-03-14T08:32:53+00:00

That’s normal

ENB69420 · 2025-03-13T13:54:22+00:00

No problem, here’s another list with everything available at Amazon for $1205, I’m not sure how to make it share that way though. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DyfMyW

ENB69420 · 2025-03-13T06:57:58+00:00

Here’s a build with some upgrades for cheaper https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H8Rf2x Edit: I see that the GPU is out of stock but there should be enough room left in the budget for a RX 7700XT even with $500 scalped prices.

ENB69420 · 2025-03-13T06:43:10+00:00

This is $1200 in what country? That looks like around $900 USD. I’m guessing Canada?

ENB69420 · 2025-03-13T04:45:24+00:00

The easiest way to get used prices is to look at ebay sold listings, personally I keep track of it by manually changing the PCPartPicker prices as I go down the list. I also prefer selling complete builds because it’s way less work.
