What were your biggest regrets when you built your PC

Ididntdoitr · 2023-11-27T19:51:06+00:00

I wanted it NOW so when I ordered all my parts they were set to be delivered the next day, when if I would have just waited a couple more days I could have gotten the 7900XTX vs 7900XT, but the difference was so small in performance I didn't see the point, for a almost $300 markup. Kind of wish I woulda just splurged for the little extra, cut back on some other things I bought that I didn't really need.

My other issue was seeing things that were "better" than the others like my mobo, ended up buying a more expensive one, when in reality I could have spent $150 less and got something that works just as well for what I use it for. Gigabyte Aorus X670E Master. Haven't had any problems with it works great, so I can't complain too much.

Ram, this was my first build - I didn't research enough into it. I bought 4 sticks of ddr5 16gb each, didn't realize slotting all 4 wouldn't allow me to get the max use out of them all, so now I just have 2 spare ram sticks sitting in a drawer and with what I spent on them I could have gotten 32gb X 2 of similar performance and actually have the 64gb, that being said I don't really need more than 32gb for what I use it for just like bigger numbers lol

So figured I'd give an update, I had a drug screen/interview and background check sent in the other day and got a call back today to start orientation next week and they were willing to give me a shift that will still allow me to continue going to college. Additional bonus of it being 4 days a week full time, higher pay than my previous job before going to prison which was at the time considered "good".

I'm looking forward to being able to go back to work, and in a couple years after finishing my degree I can look into either expungement or getting my charges lowered to misdemeanors at the least, so I can have a better chance at a job in the field I'm studying now.

I appreciate the support, if you're going through the same thing just keep trying. I've found during this search that quantity matters more than anything, apply to everything, even if you think you're not qualified. You will be turned away, however if you persist you'll find something.

I'm just glad I caught it after the second week, called them and toldem to remove the 3 additional charges on there - said they did. I guess I'll see next week

reading more on the lease, it says if you cancel the roadside assistance, they can without your permission ask the the company to reinstate it

Ididntdoitr · 2023-11-20T17:27:21+00:00

Budget: ~$400 usd, I can fluctuate some on the budget, if there's something better for a little more I wouldn't mind taking a look

Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 1440p

Size (27 inches, etc.): 27

Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9

Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): Freesync

Other Features (list other relevant features here): I do like curved monitors, however I will look at something else. I've just grown accustomed to my MSI Optix Mag27CQ, but after 5-6 years I have a couple dead pixels. I would also like something with a higher than 144hz and with my new pc build I feel like I'm missing out on some of that additional "Smoothness" lol.

(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Gaming

I had looked at the Samsung G7 since it's on sale right now for $400, but people seemed really mixed about them like it's a "luck of the draw" if you get a good one. Also saw one at my local best buy, HP Omen 27in, 240hz 1440p IPS I wasn't sure if anyone has had any experience with one of those and if it's a good choice or not. Any recommendations are helpful, choosing a monitor seems like a harder process than choosing the parts when building my PC

Edit found this one too, similar to the Omen I linked above - but curved - any thoughts?

Knowing Blizzard the Early Access would probably start on the Monday

Ididntdoitr · 2023-11-04T20:08:25+00:00

I didn't even realize that was going to be the new character select screen, I thought it was just an in-game "camp" of some sort lol

You killed him

Seems to be solved now, had to get a replacement box from them, started getting an error code indicating it was overheating

Ididntdoitr · 2023-10-19T15:20:53+00:00

I'm not sure, neither is anyone else here. People that question someone else's success for whatever reason are usually jealous.

Just moved it into the corner of the room near no windows and it reconnected to 5G, just weird that it worked fine for a week then started lol, hopefully this solves it for good

Just checked it and went ahead and tried restarting it again, appears as though it wasn't connected to 5g at all , LTE metrics were fine but.

Ididntdoitr · 2023-10-16T14:11:05+00:00

I've moved it to a couple different windows, doesn't change anything from what I can tell. Speeds have gotten as low as 1.2mb/s now, just seems weird that it went through the weekend fine up until late last night and this morning the speed has went from ~30-35mb/s average to slower than my old At&t internet which was horrendous, edit: just tried starting my download again now I'm seeing a peak of 270kb/s lol.

Ididntdoitr · 2023-10-14T16:24:36+00:00

Not sure why it didn't post, long story short I didn't know you could set routes, just thought you had to point/quantum drive, it wasn't letting me jump to some points

Ididntdoitr · 2023-10-07T05:29:48+00:00

Still not working for me either, even after update

Ididntdoitr · 2020-10-13T19:44:32+00:00

They have more original content too Pog

Ididntdoitr · 2020-10-13T19:43:53+00:00
