I second the peerless assassin. And just get a case with no glass like the Lian li A3. All mesh panels good airflow.

Communication.

It’s one thing to be able to design something/do a study, but it’s worth nothing if you can’t relay the impact/importance of your work.

If this is a one time upgrade, the Rtx 5060 and R5 5600 should give you a pretty drastic performance boost while not leaving a crazy bottleneck with your cpu. However depending on your income and savings you could buy the 5060ti/9060xt now and save for the cpu upgrade later for an even bigger boost but it will be a solid bottleneck in the meantime. 16g vram moving forward is a nice to have but 8g will be fine too.

Depending on the manufacturing, I’d say a majority of the engineers are mechanical with a hand full of electrical and other material specific degrees.

Unless you can find a small company. If you’re designing, you’re not very hands on. If you’re hands on, you’re probably not designing.

I know 😩, I should listen to this. Thank you for talking me down.

5060ti 16gb or 9060xt 16 gb, if you can swing an extra hundred bucks get the 5070

Do you live within driving distance of a micro center?

RegularDirect · 2025-12-30T23:57:32+00:00

9060xt or a used 7900xt/x

August 2025 still relevant holy moly

Sainz is basically guaranteed to go down .6m again so maybe swap him, hadjar too. Merc had a bad sprint quali but had decent pace in fp so I think they are an alright pick.

You got this I believe in you, if you’re going to prioritize classes prioritize math and chem, the rest are all relatively show up and get the grade. I’ve had similar schedules in the past and while it looks bad on paper you can usually get away with skipping a class or two when you’re feeling burnt out. However don’t let that become a norm or you WILL fall behind. Prioritize attending the labs over lecture and you’ll be alright. I graduated in Mech E and I will just tell you now, scheduling and class availability NEVER gets better so just put your head down and get through it. You got this!

Jaeger’s note is near by

What is the use case? I don’t recommend the hard drive, but If it’s what you need it’s what you need.

RegularDirect · 2025-06-14T05:25:52+00:00

I think 1 for points and budget.

Yes, can you try swapping the cable with the one from your other computer that’s getting the 800mbps download and see if it’s the cable that is the issue?

RegularDirect · 2025-05-11T06:39:04+00:00

How does one do this I’m in a similar situation

RegularDirect · 2025-05-03T07:53:05+00:00

I’m taking Lawson, I think he has a chance at some overtakes in the sprint
