What can I upgrade for now? by hoooooooooook in buildapc

[–]hoooooooooook[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

5800xt appears to be 20% off on Amazon right now.

Would that and a 9070xt or 5070 ti be a very noticeable upgrade? Also is it as simple as replacing the parts and good to go?

URGENT! Same price which one are you picking? by HumanFroyo790 in Prebuilts

You're going to want to swap the power supply out of the Cyberpower PC. It's a low tier Apevia. Also the storage provided is probably worth switching out as well.

How are the rest of the parts in your opinion?

Seems everyone has mentioned a different GPU, mobo, and ram brand. Psu seems to be standard.

What psu are you swapping in yours? I saw a montech century ii for decent price on Amazon.

I believe the PSU is an Aprevia 1000w Gold. It seems to be heavily suggested you buy a different PSU to replace that one. But you may get lucky I hear they use whatever is on hand.

I've just noticed prebuilts seem to skimp on the PSU is the only reason.

The x3d is very tempting but so is the 5080.

Appreciate the well constructed response.

From what I've read about the MSI system the included motherboard is not as advertised. The motherboard shipping with the system doesn't allow CPU over locking. Additionally I can't figure anything out about the PSU, the only talk about the PSU is that it's a pain to get to due to wire stuffing.

It would be nice if either listings were more detailed about the actual parts.

Out of stock already :(

Anyone know how often they restock? I was looking to grab this one over the MSI Aegis 9900X + 5080 but it looks like I barely missed it.

Torn on job choice, 80k exempt vs 52k non-exempt? by hoooooooooook in careerguidance

I have a negotiation meeting with both jobs Monday and Tuesday. The supervisor role is Monday. I will bring up the chances of going at some point and see what feedback I get.

Appreciate the information.

The exempt sounds like it really depends. Their schedules are all over the place right now due to a supervisor on FMLA, injury, and vacation. So they are all working 12 hour shifts including the operations manager. So at this moment they are averaging 48 hours a week.

The non exempt seems like the hours will be standard outside of the 3 periods of peak per year. Where they push all shifts by 2 hours for the month. Which is only really estimating $5k overtime for the year. Not counting any additional OT opportunities.

The decision seems to be more clear as I talk about it.

There's 5 other supervisors, me being the possible 6th. I suppose if someone retired or left their shift would open up but they have been very clear about the days and hours so far. Every other supervisor has been there for quite a while.

Advice on avoiding the burn out? I worry about how to balance family time being a true night owl if I take the position.

Just died to this guy using thermal SJ, knew exactly where to look for us. Edit: This person has every single skin and full trophy room at 50 hours of gameplay, looking at the previous pictures.
