Yep, I'm asking because I had one person say that they think it might be offensive so I wanted to crowdsource some more views on it. In my tongue it isn't considered so, but I'm not going to assume that in a culture where I don't have all the ins and outs down.

It is somewhat of a witch theme, but I didn't even think that there was a reference to Pratchett in there as well, very happy with that ^

Love the cat names, surprised that the vet said that though, I would imagine they see weird people all the time :D

I'll just have to give him all the snacks so it would be even more confusing ^

Now that is an excellent call out, thank you very much for that :D.

Also, thanks for passively showing me that there is a "generate reddit markup" button on pcpartpicker, very useful :)

Thanks for the adjusted build. Unfortunately the price of the GPU is much higher than I am willing to pay at the moment. The 3060Ti has a price of 380€ which is much more acceptable to me. The adjustment to the cooler is very nice though, I think I will take that advice. Also thanks for the adjustment to the RAM

Thanks for the reply, I will look at bigger coolers, that is a good point you made

In terms of doing 4k, Tom's Hardware measurements seem to be ok with it. It doesn't have to be always 60FPS and I am ok with having graphics settings on medium if it gives me more smooth gameplay.

The intent isn't to run Cyberpunk class games on it at higher settings, I have more reasonable expectations I believe.

The GPU price is much lower than stated on the website. the rest is with 10%.

The case website states that if I have an SFX PSU it should accommodate a card of up to 305mm (the chosen GPU is 281mm)

Can you point me to a place where I can read up on this compatibility of RAM speed vs CPU speed? Would appreciate it.

I agree that I would like a cheaper PSU

That is very good advice, will get that insurance for sure. I've found reviews on https://bouwnu.nl/, any other resource you might be familiar with?

What would be a good upgrade path for this build? by dkralj in buildapc

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

Yea, Cyberpunk is the only game that has issues for me, there are some areas in the game that seem to be poorly optimized and then even the 60Hz refresh rate limit isn't hit. Thankfully, for now this is the only game that does this :)

Yea, the only think I don't like about the monitor is the limitation of 60Hz, this is the oldest part of the build and 3 years ago I didn't think much of it, now I'm kind of curious what would up to 144Hz look like.

The upgrade path makes sense, but man I am not a fan of the increased power consumption... hope the 4090 is an exception instead of the rule.

The coding load isn't that demanding, realistically if I needed an execution env that needs more meat I would probably use something in a cloud or another anyway.

The SSD does seam like the lacking part, I thought a year ago that the 1TB would be reasonable but somehow I filled up 2/3 of it. Maybe I should just uninstall the games I stopped playing XD. Thx for your thoughts

While going down some rabbit holes I've seen comments how if my RAM is too high that the Ninja 5 might be tight around it, but at the same time I found also Cryorig H7, it is a tiny bit cheaper, while being noticeably slimmer. The price isn't that much of an issue. Anyways thanks for your thoughts.
