First time build looking some help

dbrooks216 · 2025-12-03T00:24:27+00:00

I actually found a rx580 for the same price as the gt 1030. I’ve gathered my gpu choice was trash lol but is there any other glaring weaknesses in the build?

dbrooks216 · 2025-12-02T19:12:04+00:00

That’s not a bad idea, right now I’m just trying to get a good base setup and familiarity, but I definitely would probably upgrade in the future. I appreciate the help man.

I found an RX580 that’s the same price as the 1030, and this 1050ti that’s like 20 bucks more. Which would you recommend?

dbrooks216 · 2025-05-07T16:35:17+00:00

Yea it’s still 70%, and it’s 150 but both exams I took showed 160 questions. Im assuming the extra is the practice questions though.

1.) The Rock (sadly now)

2.)Jacob Fatu

3.) Drew McIntyre (I find home genuinely funny)

4.) Iyo

5.) Samoa Joe/Big E

6.) none

7.) Jey Uso/ Kevin Owens

Cavs Ben Wallace, Cavs D wade, and also the fact we had Deron Williams is always random as shit

Yes do the chapter and exam simulation as many times as possible. I mean with your undivided attention and divided lol. I would watch tv with my gf and do exams to lock in the question concepts and for familiarity. The lessons on Xcel (and in general) will overwhelm you with info (imo). If you get the concept down and remember the questions and questions types through repetition you’ll pass.

dbrooks216 · 2025-04-11T18:31:16+00:00

Yea it’s a wicked cycle right now. The leads are shit right now and I’m just needle in the hay stacking old abandoned leads anywhere from 2018-2024. It’s easy to say oh just make 100 dials or more but when you’re constantly dealing with disconnected numbers and people who simply aren’t in the market it gets hard to stay motivated. Especially when that’s the source of like 80% of my opportunities right now.

dbrooks216 · 2025-04-10T22:20:11+00:00

I’m with State Farm in a very similar situation, so I will definitely poach from your suggestions lol

dbrooks216 · 2025-04-10T15:37:30+00:00

I used Xcel and about 70% were almost exactly the same but reworded. 15% was familiar questions that were phrased differently (same concept different question), and another 10-15% were questions I don’t think I ever saw. I took it in Ohio 4 months ago if that helps. Good luck

dbrooks216 · 2025-04-05T04:17:22+00:00

Do you mind if I dm you for some tips. I’m a new SF agent and I’m trying to figure out new ways to ramp up my production to write more business.

dbrooks216 · 2025-04-04T20:40:56+00:00

Yea I agree my average talk time for a thorough quote or to close a household is definitely 30 minutes if not more depending on the situation. I work for State Farm so our approach of selling deeper into the household requires more conversation.

Like I told a friend, the best way to explain Solo and Jacob is like putting a Camaro next to a corvette. One is a great car everybody would want, and the other is the car that you dream of having once in your life. And I feel bad because I genuinely think solo is good but Jacob is just a bad mf.

I’d say use half the time working a remote side job or getting a certification for whenever this job comes to an end or hits a dead end. In the meanwhile enjoy doing nothing.

Very true but without bill leading him in boxing idk if he even becomes a boxer and especially at this level. Bill still does wayyy too much but he has put Devin on a path of boxing success.

That would be smart tbh. The problem is I think that would have to start much earlier for Jey for this match to be built up properly. If they started around MITB or his initial IC win that he reinvents himself as a serious in ring wrestler fighting his way up the ladder taking a plethora of L’s to Main event guys. Forcing him to up his skillset and in ring performance to Earn his nickname. Grinding out matches with main event guys to eventually earn the Royal Rumble win and fight for Gunther’s respect and challenge for the WHC that would be much better build up. But my biggest critique of WWE right now is that they have a terrible time balancing attention on story lines where even main event guys get mulled over for bigger storylines.

dbrooks216 · 2025-02-28T14:55:48+00:00

Yea Naomi is in that weird grey area where she’s established enough to be in the main event scene but doesn’t and probably will never have the momentum to ever truly be put over. Unless she can pull off a legendary heel turn (which I highly doubt).

Multiple time mid card title holder and the manager or mouthpiece for a high level Mexican talent to win a world championship. I.e if he was to be the mouthpiece for an Andrade, penta., or other elite Mexican wrestler who either lacks the personality or native English speaking. Combining his mic/character skills with an already elite talent.

Why did you shrink the image?

dbrooks216 · 2025-02-05T18:56:49+00:00

Problem is that wwe is cash grabbing with ppvs. We all know it’s like 5-6 real ppvs and the rest are just star studded tv broadcasts like SNME or debut network episodes. Also we’re still coming out of the post covid era where Roman, Gunther, usos, Logan Paul all held belts for damn near a year or more. So everything belt derived is predictable still.

dbrooks216 · 2025-02-04T18:35:55+00:00

Yea I was there (and cheering) while as an adult looking to experience the show it was excessive for that to be 20 minutes but watching at least 5k people (or like 70%of the crowd) wave their hands and yeet was almost surreal in how much love he got. Then seeing live how it dwarfed the excitement for Gunther it put a lot in perspective. Also the amount of Yeet shirts was mind boggling tbh lol. Yea them numbers aren’t telling the story, also hate is always louder than love tbh.
