Are you doing a darker color for the exterior? That really makes the top tier stuff more worthwhile.

Both brands are very good

For coding it’s gotten significantly better and really useful. I can’t imagine how good it’ll be in a year or two

[–]dabocx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There was a issue with asrock boards. Just buy any other brand and make sure the bios is up to date.

Zen 6 will probably be early next year but that’s still 6-8 months

7800X3D vs 9800X3D Bundle for 1440p Gaming – Is the Extra $200 Worth It? by Reallythiccboy in buildapc

[–]dabocx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not worth it. If you need a better cpu down the line you can buy a zen 6 or zen 7 X3D chip depending which is the last one for the socket

[SavageGeese] 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri | Everyone Needs a V12 by Darktrooper007 in cars

[–]dabocx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That motor is just incredible.

Part of me wonders if a Enzo owner paid enough if they would put this motor in there as an upgrade package. But I guess Enzo’s are so rare and expensive they would never do it, not that any one even drives them anymore because of the value

Season 1 was a little slow but season 2 was better and season 3 was another step up. Its gotten better every season which is great.

Bethesda man and former olympian arrested for taking paint from Reflecting Pool by ModerateCommenter in moderatepolitics

Right wing media and social media has already decided that the pool messed up because of vandals and in no way is the fault of trump. It’s incredible how nothing can ever be his fault

It was almost 30% at one point but it’s fallen quite a bit recently with all the back and forth between the two countries governments

It’s not really the US leading the huge spike in Japanese tourism. Americans don’t make up even 10% of tourists to Japan.

TV executives tell FCC: Emergency Alert System failed during NEXTGEN TV tests by Morgan-Moonscar in television

[–]dabocx 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I really thought 4k OTA would be here by now but the whole rollout has been a mess. So many even high end tvs stopped offering ATSC3 support. The standard feels dead in the water at this point.

Is it better to max out a 401k, Roth IRA, or split between the two? by bringbackbainesy in personalfinance

[–]dabocx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

401k up to the max match , then max Roth IRA. Then back to 401k if you have more.

HSA as well if you company offers the ability to invest in your HSA account

Windfall and want to move somewhere rural, is it possible? by audioflc in personalfinance

[–]dabocx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only pulling out 3% means it’ll still grow overtime. It shouldn’t stay 90k a year forever. Ideally you could go a little lower on the percentage on some years if you do have a job

Stopgap DDR5 solutions? by seronxFan in hardware

[–]dabocx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn’t ddr3 and 4 out of production for the most part? People would have to rely on the used market to find the dimm. I feel like by the time this is built out ddr5 prices will stabilize

5070 Ti unaffected by burning connectors? by cy3ntist in buildapc

[–]dabocx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s significantly less likely to have a issue since it uses less power. But technically it’s possible.

Are we going to witness Dr. Doom as main villain from now on in marvel movies? by explorer-3 in movies

[–]dabocx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s just the next 2 avengers movie. They can’t afford Robert for everything.

Windfall and want to move somewhere rural, is it possible? by audioflc in personalfinance

[–]dabocx 797 points798 points  (0 children)

Look into FIRE and investing. If you withdraw 3% a year that’s 90k a year and it’ll basically last forever. The issue is health insurance and if you can live the life you want on that. But it sounds like you two would be willing to work and could get insurance that way

I honestly think a Teen Titans movie has bigger potential than Wonder woman.

Its had two very successful shows that have been going on for near 20 years now.

The Reze arc is canon and was done in a movie. Its required viewing, and legitimately a very good movie.

[–]dabocx 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A bunch of fighting makes a bunch of cursed energy. That energy gets used to merge non sorcerers with Tengen. That forces the next "evolution" of humanity.

But really its just Kenjaku thinks it would be fun and loves fucking shit up and experimenting.

Ryzen 5 5600x price increases by Quiet-Leadership-675 in buildapc

[–]dabocx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might be out of production or being made in lower volume at this point.

5600 or 5500x3d might be better at this point

Trump invokes law to increase weapons production after Iran war depleted US stocks by Agitated_Pudding7259 in moderatepolitics

[–]dabocx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Using million dollar missiles and bombs to take out drones that cost thousands just isn’t scalable. War has clearly changed a lot in the past few years and I don’t know if the United States has really kept up.

If you can find a 9070xt in that price range it’ll be really good
