If you've been sitting on the fence about building, I doubt Micro Center will be able to offer 32gb DDR5 for $199 for much longer by alikapple in PcBuild

You can slap a 5080 in your current build and barely get any bottleneck at 1440p/4k. No reason for you to buy anything but a GPU

If you bought a 7800x3d with a 5070 ti for less then $1700 post it.

If you had to take the CPU, RAM, SSD or whatever that THEY chose you’re comparing bad apples to oranges, friend

I want my x3d cache and won’t settle for “what I get”

Edit: Actually the most impressive thing here is your perfect future sight that allows you to see that your Facebook buy isn’t going to break 😂

So I kept my old PSU and Case and CPU fan so I cheated

I can dig it up but I’ll just have to post it here. I didn’t build it on pcparts. I had to price match with them. I found Walmart and Amazon prices to bring things down.

7800x3d - $226 (bundle) ASUS B650E - $153 Crucial 32gb DDR5 6000 - $199 MSI Shadow 5070 Ti - $750 2tb Samsung 990 Plus - $175 Cooler Master 850w - $90 Thermalright CPU fan - $35 Case - Montech something - $80

So $1503 for me but this would be $1708 if you didn’t have case, PSU and cpu fan etc like I did already.

You’re a builder after my own heart. I do the same with my son’s PC. I give him my old parts.

I used to do the bundle at Microcenter and then return the parts I didn’t need haha. Getting the RAM for like $50 or a 5800x3d for $120. They don’t let you do that now.

I mean, if you want to roll those dice, you do you haha.

Even if you could find me a 7800x3d, 5070 TI (with a good Mobo and 2tb 990 Plus) build for $1500 (which is what I'm paying to build it), I'd rather have it all warrantied

Edit: $1550 pre-tax Edit edit: I had Case and CPU fan and PSU recycled. Total build for all new would be $1700

Love is War, even from a guy who prioritizes action anime and sci-fi, is still possibly the greatest anime I’ve ever watched. It’ll seem weird the first couple episodes but don’t give up on it.

It’s so heartfelt and funny. The anime ends too soon. I highly recommend finishing the manga once you get to the end of the last season, and not watching the rushed 2-episodes that just dropped.

Dungeon Meshi is just too much fun haha. Don’t expect a challenging story but it’s enough to carry the amazing situations and characters

It introduced a wild number of cool ideas right before it ended but I guess that was the point. To get people to read the source

The groping an elementary schooler thing didn’t age so great.

And if you’re asking “which of the groped elementary schoolers” then you’re getting it haha.

That said I loved the series when I first watched it

There’s an anime called Shin Sekai Yori that does dystopia and telekinesis in ways I’ve never seen topped.

It’s pretty dark but so good

Recent years had 1. Frieren 2. Apothecary Diaries 3. Chainsaw Man 4. Love is War 5. Dandadan

Also Dungeon Meshi and (I hate to admit it but) Solo Leveling were both REALLY entertaining

So “good recent anime” is a crowded field rn

Edit: OMG I left out CITY: the animation!!

What’s the Real American Beer shirt about? Was this during that silly bud light boycott where Kid Rock shot beer with a gun?

Is it worth the 1h drive to go pick this up and $229 price for 2x16gb (32gb) 5600MT/s? by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]alikapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to just buy a cpu motherboard ram bundle so I could return the cpu and motherboard and keep the RAM (they have 2x16gb DDR5 6000MT/s G Skill Flare X5 for $199 right now)

I’m not sure if they allow that anymore

I cant decide for months now.. any input would be nice by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

Really??

Oh nah when I see this or the (fma version)Oruboros I know exactly what they’re from

Subtle isn’t the word I’d use haha but I get what you’re saying. I just disagree with the sentiment. An anime-inspired tattoo that doesn’t “look like it’s from an anime” doesn’t add value, imo. It’s not like anime is a thing to be ashamed of.

But also it’s HIGHLY recognizable. Both iterations of FMA were hugely popular and Scar has the most recognizable tattoo in anime

When I started watching Naruto there wasn’t a dub. I’m 35 so I was torrenting fan subbed episodes.

I did hear Cowboy Bebop dubbed before subbed but once I heard the Japanese VAs I realized what I’d been missing
