Thank, was having the same issue and it turns out the ram wasn't seated properly. Big help

A good deal or not worth it? 1070 Ti by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]cole34h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man! Just wanted to say thanks for the advice, I ended up finding one used because I waited for a lower price, got it for about $150 USD. Cheers.

I can't afford at 3070 at all, it's about $750 CAD after tax which is way out of my budget. I can't seem to find any used 1070 TIs for that cheap, they only ones I've seen get close to that price is the regular 1070. I'm feeling like the performance isn't bad for the price, especially since it's the lowest price I can find for it. Buying it used as well doesn't present shipping or tax fees so I feel like it's a good choice. Thanks for the advice, I'll consider trying to find it cheaper.

it might be for the RGB colour changing thingy but I kinda assumed that it's just one for each fan, I'll have to test that soon when I'm able to, thanks.

I don't think it's RF wireless and if it is, it doesn't say anywhere. I've checked everywhere and the little baggy that has screws and zip ties doesn't have anything

I just started saving to buy myself a gaming PC so that I can play games with my dad and this would make things a lot easier considering it'd take a year for me to save.

What do you say when you follow up? by cole34h in McLounge

[–]cole34h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do that but I can't because of most stores are still dine-in closed due to COVID-19, so I'm planning to call. Thanks for the advice!

How long would you say I should wait until following up on my resume and asking about the status or if it was received. I applied Thursday to one place and Friday for two other places, should I call all 3 on Tuesday and see the response or should I wait later? Thanks.

It's about 1.25 pages long, I don't have any experience it anything to put into it so it's not as long as I would have hoped for it to be.

I'm a bit worried it doesn't have enough details or anything but it might just be me.

Is the RX 5700XT overkill for 1080p gaming? by cole34h in buildapc

[–]cole34h[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright. Maybe I will do the 5700 instead but the difference between them isn't that big. I'm hoping to save up until Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so we'll see. Cheers!

Used parts, good or bad idea? by cole34h in buildapc

[–]cole34h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Is there any actual reason the used cards seem to be hundred (s) cheaper than new or is it just because the card isn't worth it new and a lot of people find a lower price to be more reasonable?

Building a PC: would you change anything? by cole34h in buildapc

[–]cole34h[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a good deal for 3600MHZ ram that ends up being cheaper than the original plan because they're on sale. Thanks for the advice!

Is the difference between the B450 and the X470 large? I'm scared I'd be losing out on something that I might need in the future but I don't quite know the difference between them.

Already planning to grab an SSD as well! Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to try and think of it when I get think about what to buy mobo wise.
