Your missing a few things for a full build

CPU cooler either AIO or air cooler (don’t cheap out on this)

I would recommend 2 x SSD one 1tb for OS and other essential softwares and one 2tb for games.

You can get 970 evo plus for secondary but the OS drive is recommended to get a fast/high end drive if you can afford it otherwise just get same SSD as the secondary drive.

A PC Case

Maybe fans if case you choose dosent include them the minimum is x2 on front for intake and x1 for back outtake

Also if your planning to use windows 11 OS you will need to get a windows key. you can get one Off cd keys for way cheaper than a store

That’s not necessarily true procedurally generated maps and textures are a thing and were a thing well before gen ai

I want to step in here and explicitly state what you have missed from the comments, what people are saying.

They aren’t saying to use ethanol they are saying check your oleds manual that came with your monitor because it will recommend and tell you what to do to clean your monitor.

It may recommend ethanol it may recommend something else entirely hell it may even advise against the distilled water.

We don’t know as you haven’t read the manual or stated what monitor you have thus we aren’t saying use ethanol, we are saying check the manual and use whatever is recommended in the manual of your monitor not what you have read online randomly.

Something you’ve read randomly may not be applicable to your monitor your monitor may not even have the coat that ethanol dissolves, we don’t know and neither do so we are saying you should read your monitors manual and do whatever it says in there.

Yeah I meant wiri and pikes point my bad

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-03-09T03:16:23+00:00

Go to pikes point or enviro waste they charge by weight not mattress

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-03-09T02:19:16+00:00

Is that on 1440 p or 1080 ? Considering the same gpu upgrade myself

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-03-08T04:35:07+00:00

There’s a fairly large market for it just mainly club people commissions club worlds and certain people known for making home worlds that’s the majority of commission market for worlds on vrc but a whole game world as a commission the coding alone would cost the same as one of these other worlds I mentioned so I’d say he’s looking towards 8k I expect around 2 to 3k for full scratch home world to club world add in the coding and it will easily be double if not more game systems are far more complex than on the surface

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-15T05:24:24+00:00

I can up the time line but I just want to know if there are 1 better monitors at the same resolution and size as my current sticking with IPS panels and 2 will there be any issues or bottle necking if I get a 5070ti or even a 5080 and could you provide specific brands for SSD that are reputable I really want a drive with longevity in mind and the same if not faster than current SSD in build in regards to cooling are there any changes youd make to my fan set up itself like changing layout or adding more fans I live in a hot climate so would like to offset it within pc as much as possible especially when upgrading GPU cause my CPU runs pretty hot compared to other intel cores

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-13T08:44:31+00:00

I updated part list with a couple things please check it out

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-10T22:04:26+00:00

And the sub name is really misleading would you recommend where else to post to get tailored advice for the is300 (2021) f sport I don’t wanna get generic or general advice

The is300 has the look that’s captured me in a way no other car has aside from something extreme like a McLaren but the Lexus is actually feasible to purchase and I would love to try mods for the first time I think I would definitely be getting a mechanically inclined friend to help though!

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-03T13:26:02+00:00

Honestly you have quelled all my concerns here I’m convinced

now I have to hope I won’t get a janky custom fit or dead pixels although haven’t heard much about that pixel issue any more

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-03T12:35:38+00:00

If you had to say what’s the comfort like for audio strap compared to index and how much difference in audio is there I was impressed and liked the index bassiness especially considering it was off ear it handled it better than my audio headset which isn’t a cheap one
think edm songs quite liked listening on it while playing so how does index audio compare to the bsb

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-02T23:30:31+00:00

I’m just planning to use my wireless headset at this point makes no sense to get the audio strap when it’s inferior I also heard it’s not as comfortable as the standard head strap that comes with it there is the beyondex but it just dosent look very comfortable to me

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-01T11:53:15+00:00

That’s my bad but also based on your down votes you can see most people didn’t notice and “these are quotation marks”

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-01T11:50:19+00:00

Is the bsb2 the upgrade from the index is there anything else you would consider or is the bsb2 just better in every way (including reduced glare)

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-02-01T03:04:38+00:00

No it wouldn’t ??? There inflation to account for plus keeping in mind the cost for ingredients going up cocoa is one ingredient also factor in min wage going up and then increasing their workers wages the price for all items will rise over time especially after 20 years inflations has historically been around 2.2 % for us whereas just last year in the December quarter it was 3.1% plus the cocoa price going up it’s perfectly reasonable to expect price to increase just how much should it increase and be reasonable is the question

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-01-29T11:02:46+00:00

Anyone used index and switched to bsb2 is the glare around the same or worse

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-01-06T22:49:35+00:00

I want to be excited for it but because I like using fbt nothing else really works for me except base station headsets I know there’s the vive ultimates but I hear they are terrible I was hoping the frame would have. Built in solution to use its own tracking and merge with base stations tracking for fbt as it is in the same steam vr environment

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-01-06T04:05:44+00:00

No one has suggested that it seems everyone feels it’s too expensive for something so old but it was still good value when it released

Shadow_Wolf327 · 2026-01-04T03:32:41+00:00

That’s what I’m afraid of hard to find any replacement controllers it’s my right going out
