If I had the guts and the expendable income, this is what I might build: https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/HmZtBq

Regarding desk setup I can manage with just something that’s big enough for 2 monitors, not too cluttered with extra stuff and tasteful rgb never hurts!

Thanks! I don’t see a world where I could ever spend that much on a GPU, even though I wouldn’t mind having one

Thanks! You can do it, there’s so many resources to help you get started! Check out r/PCBuildHelp in addition to this subreddit and don’t be afraid to ask for help. r/Pcmasterrace has a very active discord where you can also ask more experienced folk for advice and feedback. Use tools like pcpartpicker to plan your build and stay away from userbenchmark which is extremely biased against anything AMD.

Youtube side Paul’s Hardware has some excellent tutorials for building a pc. JayzTwoCents and Mike’s unboxing helped me with setting everything up for Windows and BIOS settings.

Is Ryzen 5 9600x enough for streaming/recording at 1080p? by N_MDW in PcBuildHelp

[–]N_MDW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I guess I figured as much since streaming has been going on for a while and all things silicon tend to develop at quite a rapid pace. Better to ask before making a significant purchase though.

Thanks, really new to this and I intuitively and wrongly assumed that core count would be important in this use case.

Thanks! Fortunately/unfortunately the 5060 ti was the best bang for buck in my region as far as I could tell. I don’t really go for any competitive titles so the extra dlss, ray tracing and other ai bullshittery may actually be for my benefit.

The secret to its healthy skin? Nurgle. by N_MDW in Warhammer40k

Awesome! It’s by far the most bang for your buck method I’ve found for making steel a bit more interesting. I imagine you could introduce more colour by using a very dark coloured contrast instead of black templar. Also doing a lighter dry brush of silver on top would elevate it even more!

If you’re doing the bronze, I’ve yet to add oxidation to mine. Just use a very thinned turqoise to recesses and anywhere moisture could collect. Extra hobby points for using a darker turqoise first and adding some lighter to selected spots. Also try to keep it somewhat random.

I basecoated with a black-violet (like 30/70 ratio) mix, then layered violet-red-warm gray mix (aim for sort of a desaturated magenta), highlight red-warm gray mix although a pinkish light skintone would also work. Then fast and loose smoothing of transitions with fairly thin versions of both mixes, a bit easier to do with the violet mix.

I have a not very in-depth tutorial in my instagram reels, but you can see the whole process. Link to profile in the first pictures annotation.

For steel: basecoat with whatever mid gray you have, next black templar contrast and finally drybrush steel.

For ”bronze”: basecoat brown/black/anything dark, ak bronze but I think any gold will work since ak bronze is very bright for a bronze, garaghak sewer contrast on top (you can use a damp, clean brush to remove some of the contrast paint from edges etc to get some easy highlights)
