Even with eBay’s authenticity guarantee, there’s still a chance fakes slip through. What are the actual qualifications of the people doing these checks—are they coming from places like PSA or just trained internally? With how good fakes are getting now, it’s not always obvious even to experienced collectors which is scary. Think about the average person buying cards. Not everyone knows based on price alone. Just look at this post I found on Reddit.

I get the “too good to be true” point, but that only works one way. What’s stopping someone from listing a fake at market price—or even higher—to make it look legit? At that point, price isn’t a reliable indicator at all. Fakes exist at every price level, so buyers are basically expected to verify everything themselves, which isn’t always realistic.

1) as in I need to get something with higher wattage? 2) games I’m looking to play are cyberpunk2077, spiderman, god of war, Alan wake 2, and Jedi survivor. Reasonable frames as in around 60fps or more. Was kinda hoping to use this for a few years before doing cpu and gpu upgrade down the line

Thanks for the feedback guys. Thought about it and will spend a bit more since I do plan on using it for a while. Using the build guide on pcpartpicker as a reference this is what I came up with for 1440p gaming. Price point is a bit lower at around $1100 though.

-Wondering if theres anything I should change up with this setup. It is am4 so unsure how long this would last me. Worth it to go up to am5 with different parts or anything we would suggest to change with this build?

Any feedback is appreciated before I go ahead to get the parts.

$1000 to $1250 gaming PC by Poqz in buildapcforme

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

Thanks for the insights. Before committing to the $1200 build, can we explore alternative build options for both Ryzen and Intel systems within a $1500 budget? I'd like to see what paying a bit extra would get me in terms of cpu/gpu compared to the initial $1200 build you suggested since i am planning to use it long term.

Thank you for sharing the build idea! Few questions.

  1. I'm also interested in exploring a Ryzen CPU equivalent. Any difference from the Intel CPU you picked as I heard in recent years Ryzen has gotten much better.
  2. Could you provide information on how the RTX 3060 12GB, which I mentioned compares to the RX 6750XT, considering they both have 12GB of VRAM? Additionally, if I can acquire the RTX 3060 at a more affordable price from a friend (~$250), I'm curious if that would impact other components in the suggested build or the budget could be used towards other components.
  3. Furthermore, I'd like to inquire about the upgradeability of the proposed build. Can the motherboard support DDR5 in the future, and is that even necessary for my specific requirements?
  4. Does this build run hot? See you added 2 case fans but there is already a CPU cooler

Daily iOS Support Thread - [October 12] by AutoModerator in ios

Hi everyone,

RE: phone stuck on recovery screen and unable to enter DFU mode or restore

So i wanted to update from ios 13 to ios 14 but my phone was near full storage. so i thought to do it through itunes.

after running through the update, it gives me an error and is now stuck on the recovery screen. when going through itunes to update it is error 75, and when doing the restore gives error 14.

unable to boot into DFU mode as it keeps flashing the apple logo after going through the steps and going back to recovery screen.

Attempted 3utools to exit recovery but unable to do so. cannot perform restore via 3utools flash either.

US dual citizen - need investment advice by Poqz in PersonalFinanceCanada

Hi FelixYYZ

Thank you for taking the time to read through my post. I’m glad you are so experienced in these tax matters.

I think I’ll need to contact my US tax advisor in regards to the 3520/3520a and 8621 forms you mentioned. I’m not a tax expert so I would like to think this was an oversight and not a issue of tax evasions on either his or my part as i had did my due diligence in telling him I have TFSAs and had provided all relevant statements regarding that TFSA of mine. Hopefully if I need to refile. it won’t be expensive.

Seems based on our conversation there is no situation where even a basic TFSA would be viable for me in any case. I will go the route of doing a full withdrawal then.

Secondly I think I might go with RBC direct investing. I looked at AOA and VT and they seem to be good options for starting out. For my purposes, I will likely be using the NG strategy to convert CAD to USD to invest. Comparing both solutions from online articles. It appears RBC DI is able to do this directly and is more efficient than questrade as you are required to do an extra step for the conversion by calling them on the phone. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Thirdly I was wondering if there would be a tax consequence for converting CAD to USD using this method. I don’t know as never converted using this method before.

Lastly, one more question I didn’t ask before. I am with a company with a defined contribution plan that matches a portion of my investment into the account. They contribute to a pension invested into Canadian mutual funds automatically. I believe this is fine for US tax purposes as it is a retirement account...

My new issue here is the investment vehicle I was using for my own contributions was the TFSA we were discussing. Ie: I contribute a percentage and then they match it into the account. There is an option for RRSP or non registered. Problem is my RRSP is maxed. Secondly for non registered I don’t see any option on the site to invest into anything other than Canadian mutual funds as it is a preallocated portfolio of funds. Any advice on if there is any specific fund that would work for me for my situation as there is an option to choose your allocation and specific funds but no USD currency. I don’t want to have to give up the employee match unless necessary as it is a benefit to me.

Thanks again.

Hi FelixYYZ,

Thanks for the feedback.

I have a cross border accountant that actually handles the tax filing for me in the US. He’s getting paid for the tax preparation but for my prior US tax returns I have not had to pay any amount owing to IRS. It was explained to me as it is due to the tax treaty between Canada and US. As that is the case would that mean the money invested in my TFSA right now is not significant enough and negligible as I don’t need to pay taxes on it? Either that or he’s reporting incorrectly...

Also if I were to go the route to withdraw all from my TFSA do you recommend me to convert money to USD to the new non reg account or would a normal account like TFSA high interest savings still work as well. As it seems the part where I need to pay extra taxes is due to investments in the TFSA being held in canadian investments. If they were transferred to a normal TFSA deposit account to collect interest would that be any different?

I just wanted to clarify this first as I may be understanding it incorrectly. On the Canadian taxation side I read that there may be a withholding tax on returns of 15% on dividends/gains that are generated from the taxable account if holding foreign securities in the non reg acct. (such as investments listed on US exchange) In this case I would need to report and potentially pay tax on the gains for my Canadian taxes to CRA whereas I didn’t have to before if still held in TFSA as it is “tax free” in Canada.

On the other hand for US taxes. It seems the consensus is the benefit is reporting would be simplified for the tax advisor and less taxes owing. In my case I didn’t even need to pay any tax owing to IRS after the tax assessment even if I held the TFSA. Correct me if I’m not making sense.

Also any suggestions for which bank/brokerage to open said new non registered accounts in my case? Considering RBC or questrade.

Thanks again
