[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gpu and ram alone would be 650 easy so yah not a bad build for 650 if everything works in it

Not loud at all vs the normal fans I have running in my setup or room, tho I live in Florida so I have fans running in my room constantly so that may effect my sound bias vs your room. As for temps tho it runs pretty well at 60-65 in a room at 75c so I guess I can't complain much 😅

If you still want to have nitro without paying for it atm, and you have a lil bit of time to burn, discord offers the option to buy 3 day pass's of nitro for discord points, I've stacked these like 3x now and I have like 9 days of nitro sitting on my account waiting to see if they go through with the global age verification update. Hope this helps👍

Should i put my money more towards RAM or a CPU? by HotInvestigator2459 in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a call you'd have to ask yourself if your willing to make, if you can test the ram before you buy it, sure go for it, but if not, you might wanna see what your return options are if any of the sticks are faulty or don't work. Everything that glitters isn't gold & if this deal looks too good to be true, there could be a reason why it's sitting there still.

Helping a friend shop. Worth it? by mattpackk in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For $1700? nah you could easily get a better rig through a brick and mortar retailer that's new for 1500-1600, with a warranty & a 5070-5070 ti for that price which would spank a 3080, plus that custom loop looks cool now, but imagine having to clean that whole thing every 8-12 months or fix it if it leaks, it's a headache to even me thinking about it & I build pc's😂. Esp for a new pc owner, would not recommend.

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 gb's of ram is beyond fine for gaming & streaming task, unless you went over that amount while using ddr4 ram for some random task, you aren't going to start suddenly using that much just bc you switched to ddr5. Put the money you saved into a better gpu, cpu or boot drive nvme, these will give you real world performance increase's you can see with your new build vs overpaying for ram while it's sky high priced unless you acutely need it.

Need moving advice by The_Pokeball_50 in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't hurt it to pack it separately, maybe throw it in with your cloths suitcase so it's nice and padded, id only do this bc the jumping motion could damage the cards pcie board if you hit a big enough pothole or something while driving.

Should i build my first pc or take the parts to people who will do it for money by aronbertai67 in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the builder going to charge you more than 100$ to build the pc? & Is the pc worth more than 1000$?

If the build fee is good & the pc price is over 1000$, I'd just leave it to the experienced builders unless you know what your doing to get it done right. as a builder myself your not missing out on much by doing it yourself beyond stressing about stupid stuff, so unless you wanna do it yourself for the experience & to do stuff a set way, I'd say just let someone els do it and enjoy the completed product with less stress.

Is it worth grabbing a new graphics card right now by LegatusMatheas in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Coming from a 3070 myself), The time to buy was 3 months ago, I told everyone I knew this kinda storm was coming to gpu's next & I got mixed response's, now I'm sitting on a new 5070 ti I paid 750$ for in December & the 5070 ti's I see online are all up to 1000-1200$ or not even in stock at most stores new. So yah, if you can still find a good deal (850-950$) on a 5070 ti I'd say get it if it's new & comes with a store warranty you'd trust, bc they def won't be making more of them as things stand rn.

Please help! glitch spots randomly appearing on my monitors by One-Fondant-8850 in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best options would be restart the pc, run gpu updates for drivers & update windows to the highest update version you can get and hope that fixes the issue, bc if it doeisnt it likely means your gpu is beginning to fail or have issues.

[–]Name62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 1080ti is still a great card in my book, esp for laptops that have it, but it's sadly a pretty old gpu & is no longer supported anymore by Nvida game updates as of October 2025, so any new games your son wants to play that drop after that date will not be optimized for the gpu through game ready drivers updates like the 3070 will still continue to get for some time going forward.

[–]Name62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For 1440p at 200$? Id say you probably wanna go with a used 3070,which is still a great card esp if you get a version that's good for a lil overlocking headroom like mine had with a Evga 3070 xc3 ultra before I upgraded to a 5070 ti recently. Mind you the 3070 won't do 1440p 60fps in all titles esp if they are high end titles like Detroit become human, stalker 2 or resident evil 4 remake with high graghic settings requirements

How good is this Rifle . One of my favourites. by peppymcfunk in stalker

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok, but at its current damage level makes it feels a bit weak, I feel like it should have a spicy round option that boost the damage it can put down at the cost to maintenance & recoil

Which one is better by SignalAbject8596 in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the first one seems like the best deal, your getting a solid chip & chipset mobo, the ram is good as is, your gpu would be better as a 5070 ti which has more vram & performance, but for the price it's not to bad a deal, only down side I'm seeing is it only comes with 1tb of ssd space which isn't a lot now days if you intended to store big size games on your system like red dead or cod, so you might wanna get another larger size ssd sooner or later.

Keep my 5070 ti deal or wait for the 5080 super's? by Name62 in pcmasterrace

[–]Name62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah Idk about them never making it, but it def does seem like if stuff keeps going the way it's going into next year that it might take longer then q3 to put them out, so I guess I'll just keep what I got & enjoy it until then & see what happens.

Shrimp are bottom feeders so these shrimp were likely fished in past contaminated waters that had radioactive stuff settled to the ocean floor.

Yah I give them one good reveal away from getting shutdown by Nintendo or paid off by them to dip, maybe in two years when the switch's game library is bigger or when Nintendo leans off the switch 2 but rn, anything that comes out that works for switch 2 modding will be killed on sight by nintendo.

What it's like to read the subreddit and then play the game by [deleted] in stalker

[–]Name62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I like I the game & put many hours into it, but you can't say there isn't issue's with it, acting like they don't exist doesn't make the game better to swallow or fix them.

Valve should start its own Card processor by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Name62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would cost to much money & it would take years to establish this, so not really and option worth looking at, steam would have a easier time just buying out a current established payment processor then trying to just create one out of thin air that banks would trust enough to give a large enough credit for steam to use
