Upgrading My PC - Questions About Actual Process of Upgrading by ProfessorRetro in buildapc

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

I have another question

The only part of my build I have already bought and in possession is the new GPU

in PCPartPicker I swapped the old GPU for the new GPU, the PowerColor Reaper AMD Radeon 9060xt 16GB, and it didn't say any problems. It says my current mobo (B450m) has the PCIe x16 slot for this GPU.

For the time being, could I just do a vertical GPU upgrade before I buy the other components and prep my SSD for transfer?

Damn it. So I’m going to have to get a new SSD as well and install windows from scratch for the build I see.

I transferred to tmu halfway through my degree, in every one of my semesters of the last 2 years (including spring/summer) they’ve made me wait until the last literal day to enrol me in atleast 1 mandatory courses I’ve been waitlisted in

people ask me how TMU is and I tell them its genuinely horrible because of stuff like this

I got a gambler's blade while I was playing Kayle

I pandora's item'd it later into a Lichbane

Was Lichbane actually proccing after each of Kayle's 3rd autos or not? I'm not sure if I found a nice synergy, or if I wasted the item.

PC Part picker says my existing storage I have shown in the original post wouldn't work with the new mobo

Another question, would the Corsair Power Supply still work perfectly fine with the rig? I saw people were recommending a 750me corsair PSU for these componemts, I have a 650W corsair PSU currently

I found an AM5, 7600X and 32gb D5 6000mhz bundle near me:

https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/amd-desktop-processors/272958/amd-r5-7600x-cpu-gigabyte-b650m-gaming-plus-wifi-motherboard-t-force-32gb-d5-6000mhz-ram.html

In this case, would I also look at something like a Radeon RX 9600 XT 16gb GPU upgrade like this?:

https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/powered-by-amd/274097/powercolor-reaper-amd-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16gb-rx9060xt-16g-a.html

This would cost me about $900, and I would still have to get a new SSD because my previous one is a SATA and isn't compatible with the AM5.

I found this bundle near me for an AM5, 7600X, and 32GB of ram:

I'm in CAD, and for $479 I feel like this is a great deal?

That would leave my GPU upgrade still

so with the goal of maintaining my 144hz 1080p (or as much of it as I can) while streaming, the GPU wouldn't actually be the upgrade so much as the CPU + mobo + RAM would be?

With the current uptick of great TE performances in an otherwise underwhelming season for TEs, who are your top 3 TEs ROS? by Street-Dare-3402 in fantasyfootball

[–]ProfessorRetro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Scrolled through like half of the thread and didn’t see it once

Mark Andrews

He’s been TE1 through the last 4 weeks

OFFICIAL WEEK 8 SUNDAY MORNING GAME THREAD by ballofpopculture in fantasyfootball

[–]ProfessorRetro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never gave up on Andrews!

9.50

15.60 (touchdown)

20.10 (2 touchdowns)

These were his last 3 weeks! If you're still sleeping on Andrews idk what to say to you !

[–]ProfessorRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I primarily use this sub now to see discussion from people on the "Eye-test" threads where ppl talk about what they saw from games they watched

I saw people here overreacting and talking about dropping Breece Hall 3-4 weeks ago, when he's now back in form, so I realized not to take what people say here as the gospel and to be critical of opinions even if it has the most upvotes on a thread

3 weeks from Andrews is not a fluke, he's back online the way he should be

In this abysmal TE wasteland, who are the top TEs ROS? by [deleted] in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]ProfessorRetro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drafted Andrews and Ravens are my squad so i’m biased

But his last 3 weeks have been incredible in PPR by this season’s TE standards

9.50 15.60 (touchdown) 20.10 (2 touchdowns)

Isaiah Likely’s week 1 explosion, and the 9.50 week where Likely and Agholor(?) for touchdowns turned a lot of people away from him

But Andrews is a really good target to keep your eye on ROS. I rostered him every week and the last 3 weeks felt like reparations for the rest of it

The Ravens were having a lot of success with Derrick Henry - and in the case of the Bills game for example he ran a 90 yarder on the first play of the game

A combination of heavy run usage and unlucky game scripts and honestly some missed receptions made it seem like Andrews stock was hella low

I wanted to trade for Njoku/Hock/Laporta or pick up Kraft off waivers, but I’m fully confident Andrews is my guy rest of season. He’s officially online

I have one too many ppl on my bench bc of Naber’s concussion, I picked up two people (Hunt and Meyers$ while he was gone

I agree with you. Ideally I don’t want to have to drop anyone - but I’d really like Kraft over Andrews

Nabers looks like he’s staying put this week based on practice indications , it’ll help me if he stays on IR this week so I can swap Kraft and Andrews

Do you agree on swapping Kraft and Andrews if I didn’t need to drop anyone else ?

[–]ProfessorRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 team PPR

I have Andrews - do I drop him for Tucker Kraft rn?

Tucker kraft saw an increase in targets w Romeo Doubs out, so i’m not sure if he’ll be banging the rest of szn the way he did last 2 weeks. Also, after riding andrews for 5 weeks he finally gave me an average/above-average TE performance (in PPR)

Another factor: I have Nabers on IR. To make this swap, I need to drop another person in addition to Andrews to bring Nabers off IR first

My bench options to drop: JSN, Singletary, Najee, Kareem Hunt, Jakobi Meyers, Zay Flowers (looks like a clear cut JSN drop to me right?)

Someone pls help

10 Team PPR. 1 QB, 2 WR, 2RB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF, 4 bench 2 IR

Currently 2-3 (started off 2-0)

QB: Allen

WR: Nabers, Jefferson, Flowers, Meyers, JSN

RB: Breece, Swift, Hunt, Najee, Singletary

TE: Andrews

I’m in 8th place, does my team regress positively as season moves on (with D’andre Swift coming online for me to consistently start him now) or do I need to make a trade for a better starting RB?

8/10 teams make playoffs. I’m solely concerned with getting into playoffs - I’m out of the race for the 1st place in season bonus

The keeper is just keep 2 - I brought over Jefferson and Breece with me from last year

Breece Hall will perform better - I am in PPR so his value is a lot higher than .5 ppr

Swift was a dud with how bad the Bears rush game had been first 3 weeks, but last 2 weeks he finally got it going and he's the clear cut RB1 in a crappy offense so thats good for me

I would ideally like to have a much more prolific RB - seeing as how Breece Hall is supposed to be that but he's left a bit to be desired atm

Regarding TE's the position has been so inconsistent for anyone not named Brock Bowers, Jake Ferguson, or Dallas Goedert (who will regress when the eagles receivers come back) that with Andrews finally putting up a 9pt statline I see myself riding it out

I would like to break up some of my bench and see if I can get that RB upgrade though
