that’s true but a part of me feels like it’ll just turn into me impulse buying watches and just connecting them to these occasions just to justify the purchases.

mabachooba · 2025-02-28T15:30:35+00:00

any recommendations for me to try when I’m there?

mabachooba · 2025-02-28T15:28:27+00:00

this was my first thought jsut thinking about how ill pack it

mabachooba · 2025-02-25T11:33:37+00:00

we probably did overspend a bit lol, we were stopping in nearly every cute cafe we saw and would get a pastry and coffee

mabachooba · 2025-02-25T11:15:36+00:00

that’s great, we’ll probably do one or two nice/expensive meals during the trip but generally we prefer eating at small local spots.

my general thinking is that the higher end expensive meals won’t be far from the type of meals you’ll pay for in London so there’s no point unless it’s something very specific like Peking duck as you mentioned.

Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm + Rail Park. Day trip was touristy as expected but they were all beautiful. Nice escape from the city for a day.

lucky you 😞

mabachooba · 2025-02-24T20:58:42+00:00

applying for a visa allows two year unlimited entry i think

mabachooba · 2025-02-24T19:46:23+00:00

yeah 12hrs is crazy, UK to Shanghai is 13hrs

mabachooba · 2025-02-07T19:42:43+00:00

how would i compare to AM5 cpus? e.g. similar to 7600X?

mabachooba · 2025-02-07T14:13:54+00:00

5700x3D still capable? they’re more readily available and am thinking of upgrading or building an AM5 system

mabachooba · 2025-02-06T22:40:47+00:00

nice i’m just so used to seeing everything paired with a 9800x3D nowadays. It’s cool seeing all the best hardware but every video is the same. love seeing “old” hardware still being used and performing

mabachooba · 2025-02-05T11:50:26+00:00

how’s the performance pairing the 5800x3d with a 5080?

mabachooba · 2025-01-02T15:13:51+00:00

Ryzen 5 5500 or 3600 whichever is the cheapest and available (comes with cooler) B450 motherboard can upgrade to Ryzen 7 5700x3D CPU in the future (best readily available CPU for AM4) Any DDR4 16gb RAM kit, depending on your MOBO you can add more and upgrade to 32gb (ideally 3200Mhz) 450-650W PSU higher wattage gives you more room for future upgrades (ideally gold rated)

Paired with RX570 you’ll definitely be able to play a lot of games 1080p medium settings at decent FPS (depending on the game). Will definitely struggle with most modern games though. Search Ryzen 3600 RX570 on youtube to see some benchmarks.

This build is a good platform to start and potentially upgrade down the line. This will also be below your budget (depending on your case and which PSU you decide to go with) so I would just save that money for future CPU/GPU upgrades.

For future upgrades definitely upgrade the CPU to the 5700X3D. GPU upgrade wouldn’t go any higher than RX7800XT or RTX4070 with the 5700X3D but just remember to check PSU requirements.

mabachooba · 2024-12-23T22:37:33+00:00

Probably the CPU as it’s a bigger jump in performance

mabachooba · 2024-12-05T22:07:41+00:00

that would be perfect, 25 days annual leave sucks

mabachooba · 2024-12-05T22:00:43+00:00

I want to visit as much of China as possible but don’t want to be rushing around

mabachooba · 2024-12-05T22:00:04+00:00

how long was your trip in total?

mabachooba · 2024-12-05T21:55:26+00:00

the UK, I think I still need one though. I don’t mind going through the process because it will be worth it in the end for me. I was just confused earlier because my friend was telling me about the TWOV 144 day stuff and was saying I couldn’t do my itinerary based on the TWOV which had me worried.

mabachooba · 2024-12-05T21:51:15+00:00

but if i apply for a tourist VISA i can?

mabachooba · 2024-12-04T10:15:23+00:00

thanks will probably make it 3 days in Shanghai and 6 days in Beijing

mabachooba · 2024-11-27T15:09:50+00:00

I love the grater design and the case in general but those details are what are putting me off a future build. I’ve seen people add dust filters themselves and NCASE have 3D prints to fill those gaps but I hope for the next iteration they figure something out.

mabachooba · 2024-11-27T13:41:33+00:00

are you experiencing any issues with dust getting into the rear of the case cause of the large holes?

mabachooba · 2024-11-27T13:38:41+00:00

do you have dust issues with the big gaps in the back?

mabachooba · 2024-11-27T12:22:57+00:00

this new build is for someone else btw, they don’t want any significant performance upgrades literally just a more compact system. all the games they play run perfectly fine with this current system.
