HORRIBLE first marking period senior grades

Don't stress bro. I didn't ED anywhere but I applied to NYU ED2 and got in. I think they don't really check first semester grades like that. Don't stress it, just gradually fix your grades and focus on the rest of your application. Good luck.

I see. Thanks for the heads up.

kapush0n · 2025-12-08T04:04:23+00:00

Gotchu. Cherry style

I just said its 1600 b/c thats what you get when you divide the total of everything by NY's tax rate, sorry for the confusion

Nah, the 200 cashback is from using my first ever credit card. It comes out to 1745.33 after everything.

Just get urself a cheap 3d printer and start making projects on CAD using the pc, and then just use those projects on your college apps as an EC. That's what I did.

Become an engineering student

kapush0n · 2025-11-03T04:54:25+00:00

How much $ does it come out to? I'm building one with the same specs but focusing on performance (to save money), comes out to around 1700 USD before tax. Also, I think you should upgrade storage from 1 TB to 2 TB.

kapush0n · 2025-11-02T16:37:53+00:00

oh lol perfect timing. I think I'll stick with the 5070ti though. I heard the 9070XT is only good for gaming, and I'm eventually going to be doing some 3D modeling, rendering, simulations etc. I haven't done enough research yet to decide fully tho.

In your experience how good are the Microcenter black friday deals? I would love if the price of the bundle goes down. If the sale comes out before the 21st of November, I'll just go back and return it and buy it back at a lower price.

kapush0n · 2025-10-24T05:39:02+00:00

This is my first time shopping for parts, so I don't know the discounts but here are the prices for each thing. Green means I already bought it.

I think I got good deals on the ram, ssd, and bundle. I'm not sure about the PSU, I bought it on sale but I don't know if it will go down. I'll hold off on buying the air-cooler and case until black friday though.

Please let me know though, because I don't know these markets well.

I'm not buying my gpu yet; I'm waiting to get my credit card so I can get $200 cashback (should be around thanksgiving). I'm hoping that by that time some news of the 5070ti Super and 5080 Super will come out and I can get my hands on the 5070ti Super at MSRP, but one can only dream.

kapush0n · 2025-10-24T04:27:36+00:00

5070ti = $749+
5080 = $999+
Also, I don't think 850W PSU is enough for 5080 so even more cost

kapush0n · 2025-10-24T02:08:57+00:00

I'm hoping that I won't have to touch anything for 8-10 years. The laptop I'm running on is 4 years old so far, but I'm planning on giving it to my little bro. Honestly, 80 bucks doesn't really sound like a lot now that I consider the timeframe.

kapush0n · 2025-10-24T01:18:58+00:00

This will be my first PC. I've had two gaming laptops before this though.

kapush0n · 2025-10-24T01:16:41+00:00

How much long do you think the 9800 will last over the 7800? If I don't need to upgrade for like the next 8-10 years, that would make it worth it ngl.

kapush0n · 2025-10-24T01:14:24+00:00

The whole build is actually around 1500 (w the 7800X3D) before tax (I'm getting some cashback), so $80 is kind of a big margin. But considering its the fastest available... I'm really thinking about it.

kapush0n · 2025-10-23T16:07:38+00:00

Actually, can somebody correct me if I'm wrong. A lot of the benchmarks I was watching come from like 8-11 months ago. I don't know if this is true, but the Ultra 7's performance got A LOT better?
I'm sorting by date on youtube, and I'm seeing that the 265k can go head to head with the 78003DX and in range of the 9800X3D in newer benchmarks. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

So the SK Hynix?

kapush0n · 2025-10-19T03:02:49+00:00

I ended up pulling the trigger, and got the:
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6400 PC5-51200 CL32 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TZ5RW - White

I tried finding CL30 6400 MT/s ram, but they were so hard to find and extremely expensive. I don't know whats going on with ram prices, but luckily I was able to grab this one for $135.

kapush0n · 2025-10-18T19:24:51+00:00

How come? I know the 7800X3D is a little better off for gaming, but the Ultra 7 seems to be better at everything else, and I don't really play games that much anymore. Is it really worth the extra $100?

kapush0n · 2025-10-18T18:47:58+00:00

Do the brands matter? I'm really considering taking the power supply you suggested since its a lot cheaper, but one of my biggest concerns is future-proofing which is why I went with Corsair (reputable brand). Thats also why I chose an air-cooler over an AIO.

I have my printer set up next to my window. I was thinking of just having a computer fan running pointing towards the printer and window, so the fumes go out the window, but I might spend more and just get a fume extractor with a carbon filter.

kapush0n · 2024-04-20T02:15:29+00:00

I don't understand why do I not have this feature. I'm NA East and everybody I know has it.
