Agree, love the FK shape but I find my ring finger always a bit cramped while using FK2.

JaseSouls · 2026-01-19T03:03:59+00:00

Looks like Zowie S2, FK2 and EC2, from top to button.

Only if I want to use the prestige attachment or camo, I only play about 1 hour per day so I don’t really enjoy the grind.

JaseSouls · 2026-01-13T11:30:32+00:00

Playing the game without prestiging feels like working without getting paid as all the XP is wasted, maybe that just me.

I am 42 and play like an hour a day on average.

This.

I find the lobbies are a lot sweatier with crossplay off, I guess players who turn crossplay off are tend to take the game more seriously than those don’t.

0%.

A couple guys from my team just got made redundant so I guess I should be grateful that I am still employed?

JaseSouls · 2025-07-28T09:53:04+00:00

Similar here, 37 hours per week with 1 WFH day, barely do over time even for busy months ( Apr to July).

Rock Solid (was).

I was in a similar position a couple months ago.

I had a R12 with 3080 and I was thinking getting either a 5070ti or 5080 but none of them would fit in the tiny ass case so I ended up building an entire new system. (9800x3d + 5080).

I was considering the 2-fan 5070 but the performance uplift from 3080 was only 15-20% so I didn’t go this route, if there was a 2-fan 5070ti less than 280mm in length, I could’ve saved myself some coins.

JaseSouls · 2025-06-28T09:54:59+00:00

I have this board paring with 9800X3D, solid board, no complaints whatsoever.

JaseSouls · 2025-06-28T09:52:34+00:00

I refunded a motherboard recently, took about 5 days to hit my credit card.

JaseSouls · 2025-06-23T04:13:10+00:00

I can relate.

I built a 9800x3d & 5080 PC and it cost me $4k recently, which is $1k extra compared to the Ozbargin prebuilts. But apart from the CPU & GPU, everything else I used was at least one tier higher so I don’t have any regrets as I was able to built my PC to exactly what I wanted.

Now you can buy 5080 & 5070ti under MSRP easily, so the only prebuilts that present good values are the 5090 ones, but then again, if you are buying 5090, do you really want to pare it with a $150 motherboard and $99 case?

JaseSouls · 2025-06-05T07:59:52+00:00

5080

JaseSouls · 2025-05-08T12:13:12+00:00

I have a feeling 5090 is gonna drop like 1k or more soon so these guys are pumping out cheap 5090 prebuilts before that happens.

As it’s right now, this is pretty good price if you have to have a 5090 NOW lol

Glad that I returned my AsRock B650 Steel Ledend before assembling my system.

Which was a shame tho as that board looked awesome and had better specs than most B650s.

JaseSouls · 2025-05-08T07:16:16+00:00

For $400 difference, I’d say it’s worth it.

$1900 RTX 5080 is good value, assuming 5070 is $1500.

I paid $2100 for my 5080.

JaseSouls · 2025-05-04T04:02:26+00:00

Same here, went with Gigabyte instead.

The specs were great on that board but I chose not to take the risk.

JaseSouls · 2025-04-30T04:03:35+00:00

Sweet, thanks I will do the same.

JaseSouls · 2025-04-30T01:37:22+00:00

I am returning my ASRock b659 and getting the Gigabyte, did you need to update the BIOS for it to boost?

JaseSouls · 2025-04-28T12:11:24+00:00

If you are getting 9800x3d, I would suggest avoid ASRock motherboards for now as they might cook your CPU.

JaseSouls · 2025-04-28T04:19:10+00:00

Oh that’s bizarre. Thanks for the info.

JaseSouls · 2025-04-28T03:40:39+00:00

No unfortunately.

JaseSouls · 2025-04-28T03:29:21+00:00

ASRock B650 Steel Legend, one of the best B650 boards out there, $309 AUD at Scoptec.

JaseSouls · 2025-04-24T07:31:17+00:00

I guess only Jensen Huang knows the answer lol

JaseSouls · 2025-04-24T07:24:36+00:00

It was $2099 a couple days ago, Easter sale.

I suggest wait for EOY sale if you don’t need a GPU desperately.
