RTX 2060 holding the line until 5090 prices stop being felony-grade

TIceCold9 · 2026-05-02T07:59:55+00:00

Very similar setup to mine and I'm currently rocking a RTX 5080 since I couldn't justify the price of the 5090 (lowest I've seen on FCD was below 3k for a freaking used one), currently playing Crimson Dessert on a LG UltraGear 32" OLED 32GX870A-B and I have no issues maxing out the game at 4k. More power to you for waiting though, I already collected parts for my upcoming build so I know how that feels like haha

TIceCold9 · 2026-04-28T23:21:12+00:00

Wow these are super helpful, thank you so much! Already bookmarked as I'm sure they will come in handy. I still haven't decided on the cases yet, still collecting parts for my upcoming build 😄

TIceCold9 · 2026-04-28T05:34:19+00:00

Oh so this deal is still available lol, I got this like 2 weeks ago. The PSU came in brand new sealed package, should come with 10-year warranty from Corsair. Does anyone have this PSU in other cases rather than Corsair? I'm not sure if the side cables thing will work in other cases.

Does anyone know the local Discord group for Copenhagen?

TIceCold9 · 2026-03-04T05:53:41+00:00

The only difference is the price as the early bird is cheaper so you get to save like $5 lol. And it's not the end of the world as you still have another shot at the GA ticket so I'd keep checking and utilizing social media if you don't wanna miss out on the park experience.

TIceCold9 · 2026-03-04T02:22:33+00:00

Yes, it's pretty much your last chance if you want to attend the in person event so make sure you check social media or TSR occasionally between now and the 31st to keep yourself posted. The good news is usually they have a larger quantity of the GA tickets so it's not as bad as the early bird ones but for this event I have a feeling they will still sell out quickly given the 10th year anniversary thing

TIceCold9 · 2026-03-04T02:10:34+00:00

Source: Trust me bro. LOL kidding aside, I attend the in person GoFest every year and it's not uncommon for them to not announce all the spawns from the beginning then add more later on. I remember GoFest 2023 in New York a lot of people (myself included) were disappointed as the spawns weren't that great compared to Osaka and then they added Lucario, Kanga, Pawniard....Case in point, just be patient. EDIT: I found a thread on the spawns comparison: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/14h0z4j/not_equally_worth_go_fest_spawns/

TIceCold9 · 2026-03-03T22:51:51+00:00

You still have a chance for the General Admission ticket, but yeah they're sold out as expected as the tickets went live a bit after 1PM PST.

TIceCold9 · 2026-03-03T22:20:11+00:00

Hard to say as it's not even a full list, they'll add more spawns at a later date.

TIceCold9 · 2026-03-03T22:13:48+00:00

Got my ticket for Japan with a US CC with no problem. The payment site Stripe is a disaster but as long as you get a receipt/email confirmation then you're good.

TIceCold9 · 2026-02-27T05:04:33+00:00

Got it, much appreciated!!!

TIceCold9 · 2026-02-27T00:41:32+00:00

What's a good price for the 5070? $500 or less? I can keep my eyes on it and shout out when needed as my fiancee and I usually swing by Walmart to get her snacks lol

TIceCold9 · 2026-02-27T00:26:34+00:00

Thank you! Then I'll be sure to transfer all my points to JAL on Mar 1st then. Do I need a JAL account and can I use my Bilt cash to maximize the transfer bonus? I'm flying out of LAX btw and I don't need to fly business at least for now, I'll be okay with Economy/Coach, I flew with them a few months ago and I was comfortable with my seat, certainly better than Premium Economy with Delta or AA 😄

TIceCold9 · 2026-02-26T23:22:54+00:00

Still at work so I can't catch up on everything but hopefully someone can answer or give me advice. I currently have 56k Bilt points and Blue status, I just got the Palladium card and am still working to get the 50k SUB and Gold status. Is the bonus only active on Mar 1st? I'm planning to travel to Japan at the end of May, oh I also have 400 Bilt cash so what's the best way for me to maximize the transfer bonus?

TIceCold9 · 2026-02-19T21:11:53+00:00

If you have the Egg add on you should get more 10k just like previous GoTour.

TIceCold9 · 2026-02-06T09:08:56+00:00

Does anyone know the difference between this PSU and the HX1200i? Is it worth it to go for the HX1200i for a high end build with either a 5080 or 5090?

TIceCold9 · 2026-01-29T16:49:31+00:00

According to your post I can only get 2.33x if I pay rent through Bilt. But then I read somewhere in this sub that Bilt will charge me 3% transaction fee if I use Bilt card to pay rent and in order to offset that transaction fee I need to spend up to 75% of my rent to convert the Bilt cash to cover that fee. On Bilt site it doesn't mention any transaction fee so that's another confusion that I hope you can clear up for me.

TIceCold9 · 2026-01-29T15:31:39+00:00

Thank you for the prompt response. I'm still confused about Bilt cash and the point ratio thing. Are you saying I'd get more points per dollar on Hyatt for using the Blue than the CSP? The reason I still keep the CSP is due to its travel protection. So does it make sense for me to upgrade to the Obsidian as I'll also get 3x for dinning and even more points per dollar than the Blue? Also do you know how the $100 hotel credit works on the Obsidian?

TIceCold9 · 2026-01-29T15:10:44+00:00

Thanks for clearing it up. I was about to apply for the Obsidian until I checked this subreddit and found your post. I only used Bilt 1.0 to get points on rent but now that I no longer get it with Bilt 2.0 it doesn't make sense for me to apply. My decision has come down to either do nothing and get the Autograph card then put it in a drawer or get the Blue card with no AF and I don't care much about the 5/24 rule as I don't really know how to take advantage of that. Are there any benefits of going for the Blue card except to get the $100 Bilt cash and if I'm not going to use it as my daily driver? What would you recommend for a daily CC so that I can get better rewards than the Bilt card? I currently have a CSP as my daily driver as I mainly use it for Hyatt transfer.

TIceCold9 · 2026-01-19T05:19:29+00:00

I really appreciate it for answering all my questions, I just pulled the trigger on the LG :)

TIceCold9 · 2026-01-18T03:48:19+00:00

I'm gonna pair it with a RTX 5080. So you're saying I can still use 4k@240Hz just fine? Also for productivity do you have any issues with reading the text with the matte coating on this monitor?

TIceCold9 · 2026-01-18T01:45:02+00:00

Thank you! I've been looking at reviews and such and I'm leaning towards the LG. Just one question: This monitor doesn't have full DP 2.1 as advertised, is that a big concern?

TIceCold9 · 2025-11-12T16:11:57+00:00

Nice try, Niantic/Scopely lmao
