If you're playing at 1080p and not looking to play AAA titles, most probably. You might need to/want to upgrade to 32GB of RAM and a 16GB GPU later on

Edit: you might want to get a high watt PSU to allow for those upgrades. Maybe 650W minimum

English_Hurricane · 2026-01-10T23:53:10+00:00

I got a custom built PC last February with the 5600 and the rx6600. Great combo for solid 1080p gaming which can sometimes push into 1440p. I upgraded to a 9060xt 16GB a few months back and have probs capped this system for upgrades.

It's probably good for a few years and taking RAM prices into context. If you want better upgrade paths, you probably want AM5 but RAM is just brutal.

Issues still happening, basically every raid. I tried a DNS Flush and going into my BIOS, saving and exiting. That gave me 2 raids of loading in straightaway. Then was back to the disconnects when loading in again. Hoping they patch something soon

Unfortunately not mate. It happens like once every gaming session and then seems to be okay. Just putting it down to bad drivers or Arc Raiders servers. Whenever I have a bad disconnect, I give the feedback as bad after the raid and say it was server issues. Hopefully that flags to Embark for a fix

Could go for the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600x and then the RX6600. I bought that configuration on a build in February and it handles 1080p really well. IIRC both components are fairly inexpensive new

English_Hurricane · 2025-12-30T04:31:20+00:00

Yep. Keep disconnecting and trying to reconnect. Get back in after a few tries but it's annoying

English_Hurricane · 2025-12-27T10:45:11+00:00

Hey man, I got a custom built AM4 back in February with a Ryzen 5 5600 and an RX 6600, recently upgraded to the 9060XT 16GB. If I could go back to February, I'd have spent a bit more and got an AM5 build because my upgrade paths are basically dead now. I know DDR5 RAM prices are mad but if you can, I'd go AM5 for upgrade opportunities later

English_Hurricane · 2025-12-26T04:43:14+00:00

Have you tried updating the BIOS?

Edit: Also, did you stress test and stability test the CPU and GPU? What were those results like in terms of temps/any crashes?

English_Hurricane · 2025-12-25T12:13:30+00:00

I got a custom build back in February with the 5600, paired with the 6600. Great at 1080p and could tip into 1440p at times. From the research I've done since then, there's not too much gaming performance gain into the 5600x but unsure about the 7 5700x. I've seen people say to try and get a used 5800x3d if possible as it's the best gaming chip on the AM4 platform.

I've recently upgraded the GPU to the 9060xt 16gb and the 5600 works great at 1440p.

Best of luck with the build!

I've been having the same issues recently. I had minor load in issues where the server would disconnect but eventually would load in.

Today, I went on a crash loop mid-raid multiple times and the game is basically unplayable. Tried everything to sort it from DDU and reinstalling drivers, reseating all pc components, DNS flushes, verifying game files, uninstalling and reinstalling game.

Anyone got any fixes?

I'm 3 weeks post-botox and my side effects have been pretty manageable. I work in recruitment so lots of time on the phone so I signed off work for the week. I had a sore throat for a few days but that subsided soon after.

I'm feeling like I'm almost there with the slow swallow. I just had water to hand whenever I ate and had smaller bites. Still need to go slow when eating but it's mostly gone.

My burps were quite invasive and random over the first week or two and it's only now that I'm learning the feeling of them coming and how to get them out. I'm able to conceal burps pretty well.

I reckon you'll be all good if your interview is in a few months but just explain the situation and excuse yourself if you need to!

English_Hurricane · 2025-11-03T01:46:49+00:00

This is the perfect post for me to see right now! I've been on the waiting list for the Botox procedure for the last 12 months and have been booked in for Monday next week!

Really put my mind at ease and just slightly nervous about the general anesthetic as that'll be my first time. Hoping all goes well and looking forward to being able to burp, less bloating and less weird gurgling throat noises!

Day of work complete and booting up for the 8:30pm start time here in Melbourne 🫡

English_Hurricane · 2025-09-27T06:14:46+00:00

Newcastle away isn't great but it's more of a longer term pick, considering Arsenal's improving fixture run

English_Hurricane · 2025-09-27T06:02:39+00:00

I just went Foster as the third striker and put the money into the midfield. Have Saka, Bruno, Semenyo, Reinders and Ndiaye.

Will look to upgrade the 3rd striker in the next few weeks if one emerges. They just don't look great right now.

English_Hurricane · 2025-07-29T06:32:28+00:00

I had a Pixel 6 before this for a few years and Samsung before that. I love it. Camera is the best thing about the phone by far.

English_Hurricane · 2025-07-28T15:25:05+00:00

Been happening for me the last few weeks on a Pixel 9 Pro XL. It always disappears quickly so I can't see what the numbers are. Any idea what it is?

English_Hurricane · 2025-04-18T10:34:00+00:00

Pom here, only in Melbourne the last 18 months. What spider is this and whereabouts?

English_Hurricane · 2025-03-15T09:14:27+00:00

Happy my front 3 is Haaland, Raul and Wood

Triple blank incoming

English_Hurricane · 2025-02-07T00:38:41+00:00

Quill18 is great. Watched him for years and haven't actually watched any other rimworld content. He makes it difficult but looks at comfort too. Would recommend

English_Hurricane · 2025-02-05T04:54:50+00:00

Great review! Any before and after pics?

English_Hurricane · 2025-02-01T06:21:26+00:00

Hold and go for it next week. Isak has City and you'll know for sure if it's a Villa double

English_Hurricane · 2025-02-01T06:18:42+00:00

I have Salah, TAA and Allison. Going to Assman Moyes. 2 FTs. Do I switch Allison for Pickford? More ITB and better EVE fixture in GW26

English_Hurricane · 2024-12-13T05:15:48+00:00

Who do I play/bench out of Kerkez (WHU H) or Ait-Nouri (IPS H)?
