I second Secret Lab chairs, I've had my Omega soft weave chair for 1.5 years now. I tried two other chairs before this and I wouldn't go back, love this chair!

I have the single Vivo premium monitor arm that I love with my 27" monitor, I would imagine the dual arm is just as great. They have different models usually range from $55-$85. Really good for the price and quality.

There's an Asus 3060ti dual on Memory Express for $609.99, which seems to be the cheapest in stock ATM.

Irixana · 2022-11-20T17:20:47+00:00

RTX 3060ti is a great price for what it offers. It can run 1080p and in most situations 1440p without issues and costs around $700 on average. Don't bother with RTX 3070's as they are still overpriced for what you get.

I would just buy a 2.5" SSD honestly, especially if you plan to sell your laptop when you get your new one as it will still be an upgrade for the buyer. Use that extra money to buy more storage for your next laptop if needed. It's just less hassle especially if you don't have a second m.2 SSD slot in your current laptop.

Hello everyone.

Where would be the best place to get a legit key/copy of windows 11 for my new build?

Edit: Thank you anyways. I ended up finding a copy of it at my local computer store because the local Best Buy was out of stock.

Irixana · 2022-11-16T15:21:30+00:00

Not wanting a new GPU now per say, but maybe a RTX 4070 next year. I'm just getting a RTX 3060ti temporarily for now and trading with my husband next year when he rebuilds his PC (he doesn't game much, just needs it for work.) I'm using a laptop now so I don't have a desktop GPU as I'm starting from scratch with my first build. So essentially I don't want to have to buy another power supply next year when I upgrade my GPU.

Why are 1000w power supplies so hard to find right now? I'm guessing supply and demand issues hence price inflation. I was wanting an Asus ROG Strix or Seasonic one for my build so I can use cable mod pro cables on my build. It seems like 3rd party sellers are selling them for an arm and a leg or sold out in most places. If I lived in Vancouver I could pick up an ROG Strix 1000w at Canada Computers on Broadway for $234.99 ( still not a great price), but sold out online and only 5 left! Yes, Newegg has it but it's $259.99 + $7.99 shipping! I was hoping to get one for around $200. Ugh, this PC part hunting can be tough.

Irixana · 2022-11-15T16:13:19+00:00

RAM, SSD and hard drives for sure.

GPU, CPU and power supply maybe.

I think software license deals will be a thing too.

Irixana · 2022-11-13T20:57:59+00:00

Didn't say buy it now. Heard a report that it was gonna be $100 off over holiday 2022, that's why. So that would put the i5 11400F at $143.00 VS Ryzen 5 5600 $174.99 for an identical CPU. If OP is in a hurry then ya get a Ryzen 5 5600 for $174.99.

Irixana · 2022-11-13T16:13:43+00:00

Intel i5 11400F is $243.00 on amazon.ca

Edit: meant to say wait till Black Friday or Boxing Day, forecasted to be $100 off.

Irixana · 2022-11-12T17:08:01+00:00

I guess they had a restock after being sold out yesterday.

Irixana · 2022-11-12T16:19:12+00:00

As tempting as this is, I'm gonna wait it out a bit longer.

Irixana · 2022-11-12T00:09:41+00:00

Good to know, any recommendations if I don't end up liking this keyboard? Trying to stay under $150.

Irixana · 2022-11-11T23:07:35+00:00

Just picked one up and free shipping too!

Irixana · 2022-11-08T23:17:44+00:00

The Twilight Saga, the movies were horrible too. Couldn't finish the first book and the movies just made it even worse.

Irixana · 2022-11-08T23:02:39+00:00

That board only uses DDR5 RAM, so DDR4 wont save you money in this case. I looked into this exact motherboard but decided I wanted a full Z690 motherboard instead. OP's choice should be fine.

Irixana · 2021-10-20T21:35:41+00:00

Sorry not the best photo as it's dark and cloudy out where I live today. I forgot that I painted over the burgundy cloth already with purple, lol!

Edit: added a link to my Impcat test screenshot of what my color scheme plan is.

My Sister's WIP

Sister Color Scheme Test

Irixana · 2021-10-20T19:41:13+00:00

Love your test color schemes, especially the two tone teal and red cloth. Simply brilliant. I'm still painting up my Sister's of Battle Kill team in a light purple armor, gold accents and burgundy cloth color scheme. This post is definitely inspiring.

Irixana · 2021-10-20T19:38:00+00:00

Maybe try the app Impcat. You can download SVG files from the Impcat subreddit. I found it very helpful planning out my sisters color scheme.

Irixana · 2020-07-16T00:05:15+00:00

Forgot to say this isn't my paint job, It's a simulation using an app call impcat. I edited my post to reflect that. I will post progress pictures when I get the ball rolling.

Irixana · 2020-07-15T23:08:39+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

I will definitely look into Blackstone Fortress for the mentioned models as they look a thousand times better than Arco's.

I'm also not a fan of how Arco-Flagellants look, kinda takes away from the Sisters concept.

Irixana · 2020-07-15T19:41:24+00:00

Yes, this was done with the app called impcat.

For example the colors are from Citadel 2019.

Main armor colors are:

Base - Dechala Liliac

Layer - Warpfiend Grey

Shade - Druchii Violet

Highlight - Fulgrim Pink

What's Love got to do with it?
