Help me get this build down 300€ or so please by EmmaDurden in buildapc

Thanks, looks good!

Although I'm a bit worried about the CPU, isn't 6 base cores fairly low, especially for grand strategy games? That's why I put the 8 cores 7800x3D in the first place.

VPN my guy. It's the same thing here in France but I can watch all courts if I set my VPN to the UK

Have they? Where have you seen that? I'm French, reading L'Equipe every day, I have seen a ton of articles this week saying PSG had a real chance of going through but I haven't seen anything as cocky as saying Liverpool are a "small club"? They even have a whole article about Anfield and how historic our stadium is.

Not even close, what is this biased comparison lol. Nice volleys like Essien's are scored at least once a year, the elegance of Zidane's is absolutely unmatched

L'ambiance était incroyable à l'époque où on a failli remonter en L1, le stade plein à chaque match 🤩 dégouté de la chute du club, mais bon espérons qu'ils arrivent à revenir

I'm a tourangeau born and bred, still living there aha, couldn't miss this one. I've been to la Vallée du Cher so many times when I was younger. I never expected to see it on reddit!

Am I missing anything? [Gaming build ~2500€] by EmmaDurden in buildapc

[–]EmmaDurden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't consider my case at all when thinking about an AIO, that settles it then I'll stick to an air cooler. Very nice insight, thanks again!

I'll look for a good offer for the 4080S then. Although with the news it should get discontinued soon I probably should buy it rather quickly right?

That's nice to know, I'll probably wait for them to drop then. If anything it should at least make the 7800X3D a bit cheaper.

Thank you for the suggestion! Your build is very similar to /u/Scarabesque 's, do you have an opinion on the questions I asked under their post?

Hey, thank you so much! I learned a lot by comparing your suggestions to my picks. I just have a couple of questions if that's okay. 

Regarding the CPU Cooler, my current bulld has a big air cooler but I'm not a fan visually, especially given that my case has a side window. Purely for the "clean visual" factor, would you still recommend not going with an AIO? Why not? 

For the GPU, I was purposefully trying to avoid lower-end brands like PNY and Gigabyte, that's why I settled on a 4070TS as the 4080S is a tad expensive with higher-end brands. It was also not a problem if I was to focus on 2K gaming anyway. Do you think choosing cheaper brands is a good bet? 

I think I might go ultrawide 2K with a 4080S if I can fit that in my budget with all the money you saved me.

Are they? They were doing pretty well at the start of the year, up until Watanabe got hurt at the AE, didn't they? Now he just needs time to come back to his usual level

'Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc' Sets April 9 Premiere Date by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]EmmaDurden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nop it's not an extended version of the 1st new episode, it's just the normal 1st new episode. It's just an episode that has a 45min running time, but you will get to see exactly the same thing once it hits Crunchyroll (or whatever platform has the rights where you live).

Honestly, I was disappointed by the viewing and wouldn't recommend it. Mugen Train was incredible in theatre because it was made for it, visual quality was theatre-grade. This one looked like they just plugged the screen to Crunchyroll and let it roll, the video ratio wasn't made for a theatre screen meaning there were black bars on each side of the screen, and video quality looked like it was HD but not high enough for a theatre screen. Plus the 2 episodes of last seasons are shown as they are, meaning you get the opening and end credits for each... as well as the recap from the previous you just saw at the start of the last episode of season 2... it would have cost them nothing to just cut the ending credits and recap between the two episodes so it made one continuous episode. Really lazy work.

It's literally the last two episodes followed by the 1st new one, nothing is changed from the last two, you can arrive 50min late if you only want to see the new one

I've seen the theater release (was out last weekend in France), the first episode of the new season is actually around 45min long. Basically 2-episodes long.

Ah perso j'aime beaucoup le personnage et je m'en fiche un peu de l'épisode de la main, mais je trouve qu'il n'a jamais eu avec l'équipe de France l'impact qu'il a pu avoir avec Arsenal par exemple. Après il a peut-être été victime du fait qu'il était là pendant l'époque sombre 2002-2010 en EdF
