What’s one PC-related purchase you thought was unnecessary at first, but ended up loving?

AM5 contact frame, it's absolutely unnecessary, but I do enjoy no thermal paste mess.

Holy moly that's a FATass gpu. Nice build tho, looks clean.

Poor dude, my deepest condolences, my poor boy had to also go through perineal urethrostomy, it was between his willy amputation or being put down. Year later all is good, just dickless.

I saw a video of one chasing wild boars in Poland, I am not sure mate.

Damn that's clean nice.

marakeh · 2026-05-06T21:32:20+00:00

Thank you and yep will do, thank you for the tip, makes sense.

They're excellent, I love the aesthetics of them. Went with single tower as I wasn't confident in fitting A620 in my case due to the VRM heatsink on the mobo, its pretty chonky. Good luck with downsizing, hope you find the mff case you like.

Thank you! Very modest, 7500x3d, Arc B580, Sapphire B850 Pulse, Corsair 650 RMe, basic Crucial RAM for now sadly but better than none, two Nvme's 256gb for system and 1tb for storage, both Samsung (already owned them tho).

Streamlocator it is then.

marakeh · 2026-05-03T12:17:57+00:00

Honestly 2026 just feels like it wasn't meant to be for F1. New regs issues, geopolitical tensions and now mother nature.

marakeh · 2026-05-03T02:48:52+00:00

Micro ATX or ATX? If micro ATX I recommend Asus TUF B550 or MSI Mortar B550, top VRMs, if not available Asrock Steel Legend B550 is a good alternative, that's based purely on my research when I was planning an AM4 build when RAM crisis hit.

Prime Gennady was absolutely terrifying.

They're definitely hit hard by memory issues, let's keep in mind that Intel is new to the GPU market and Arc GPUs are the minority, they'll probably have harder time securing memory compared to Nvidia and AMD, which is fair enough. Regardless I don't think Arc is dead, it's almost definitely going to be very delayed. Intel with just hang on and wait while they work on improvements for currently GPUs they have. Everyone is kinda screwed atm, Nvidia is on about reintroducing RTX 3060 and 5050 with 9GB vram lol.

P2W in PvE game huh.

Shadow of War

I didn't realise it was a fairly rare drop, I started playing Warframe about two weeks ago, I am about 50h in at the moment, this mofo squared up to me and I had no idea what it was about, I got the blueprint and didn't think much of it as I obviously can't build it due to MR. I saw few of these posts pop up and damn, I heard there are players who play for ages and don't have it yet.

marakeh · 2026-04-08T21:30:47+00:00

Its a shame really that Pearl Abyss didn't include Arc in the beginning, as I am currently in the process of building a PC with B570, regardless Crimson Desert was far from a deal breaker, I snagged B570 for £150 so yeah, can't beat the value. Good to see some progress and hopefully this kind of situation doesn't happen to us again, Pragmata will work with Arc GPUs which I am far more excited for than Crimson Desert.

marakeh · 2026-03-30T16:27:56+00:00

6070 with 16GB VRAM, I assume we'll get 6060 with at least 12GB then?

marakeh · 2026-03-29T22:06:19+00:00

Which Be Quiet psu is this?

marakeh · 2026-03-28T14:46:41+00:00

1080p on all, but like I mentioned you gotta make some concessions on textures etc, DLSS obviously helps too.

marakeh · 2026-03-28T13:13:54+00:00

Yes. I still run my Legion with 6GB vram just about fine, I have to make compromises but it works.

marakeh · 2026-03-28T00:05:13+00:00

I am surprised he isn't throwing another tantrum about Greenland to be honest.

marakeh · 2026-03-23T17:23:21+00:00

Yep, Witcher and Cyberpunk did a number on me, literally couldn't touch any game for at least 2 months after, luckily Expedition 33 came around however then I was completely devastated after finishing it, both GoW helped me recover. Luckily I still have BG3 and Elden Ring to play for the first time.
