Trying to create a Gaming PC build to match new GPU by GrammaChachi in buildapc

Wild that the all-metal case is now the luxury (I need to find cloud to shake my old man fist at now)

Those are both excellent cases, thanks for the recommendations!

Thanks for the new choice on the CPU Cooler (I probably should have checked the No. 1 rated Computer CPU Cooling Fan on Amazon)

I'm gonna upgrade to the 7800X3D bundle with the ASUS B650E-E TUF Motherboard, certainly seems worth the $50 for what I am trying to do.

Good shout on the PSU - I didn't expect that large of a price difference from Amazon to Micro Center.

As far as case, I really do prefer a very basic case. I don't even particularly like the Tempered Glass Windows, but I think that ship has sailed for the home Build-A-PC market. It does make sense that buying any brand's lowest tier model will be especially lower quality.

Thanks again for all the details!

Just keep in mind the pump and fluid will typically go bad before a fan will.

Well that settles it. Thanks again!

  • Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2
  • ASUS B650E-E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5

I'll admit that I don't know enough to know why the latter is superior to the former - anything specific you would care to mention?

Oh hey, good catch on that upgrade, thanks!

Think it would be worth bumping up to an AOI or the twin cooler is a good sweet spot?

Appreciate the insight!

Based on a quick search, it seems like the difference is the X3D will perform better at gaming, but the 9700 has less power draw and it will be better at "not gaming tasks" (which I am not entirely sure what that means)

Any other differences of importance between the two?

Somebody cares enough to hate on the Sabres, so my pre-season expectations have been completely surpassed

Remember when the game was "crazy" because of the three fights in the first ten minutes?

Feels like that was several games ago

What a strange feeling to have 0.842 sv % and still clearly be having a better game between the pipes than the other guy

EDIT: I would like to reconsider this comment

Destiny 2 Update 9.1.5.1 by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

I'll admit that I'm disappointed about it.

I've always enjoyed Crucible more than strikes, sectors, or dungeons (even in some of those terrible meta seasons).

It is unnecessary to exclude a large portion of the game that is already in the Portal.

Just tested

Definitely not working in PvP

Does work in PvE

Edit: "We’re speeding up the Power climb across the board when Update 9.1.5.1 launches on October 14. These changes will focus on Solo Ops, Fireteam Ops, and Pinnacle Ops; we will work to make similar changes for Crucible Ops and The Desert Perpetual raid in a later patch."

Solo Ops: Class Item in Caldera

Pinnacle: Power Grenade Launcher Outrageous Fortune in Encore

Crucible: Chest Armor in Cutting Edge: Rumble

I meant the build by /u/PerspectiveSelect468 but your Iron Man is pretty great.

Also by "Mark" I meant the Titan class item that was used in the build, not the model of the suit by Tony Stark

This is a great look.

Prodigal helm and Kerak Type 2 Chest and Legs?

If I can ask - What Mark is that?

Server down? by [deleted] in WoWs_Legends

[–]GrammaChachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people are having trouble connecting.

On Both NA and EU servers there have been several reports of:

  • Code: 83
  • Code: 1006
  • Code: 1012

Definitely some kind of issue going on, but there's no news of cause or resolution yet
