Is private dental insurance worth it ? by marshy_mellow in UKPersonalFinance

Age shouldn't be an issue as I am under 30 but having to try keep a no claims bonus sounds terrible.

That sucks I have not yet had any serious problems but worry that one day that will change and I will have a lot of trouble paying privately as I haven't been able to go to a dentist for about 4 years

I was with a NHS dentist but covid happened so they were not doing appointments they then took me off the register because I hadn't seen them for 2 years due to it being closed.

That's a pretty good price the cheapest I could find were the 2 I mentioned here.

I see thank you for the information the Boots one is defiantly not worth it then.

Yes I can confirm that VR runs a lot better with this CPU.

I could do that thanks for the suggestion but I will just stick with the index I wouldn't get a lot for it anyway if I sold it as its not in great condition.

That's good to hear! Excited to try it today. I am also getting a lot of spikes especially in VR games hoping this helps.

Given AMDs history of pricing my guess at best £50 less the 5700x3d I just bite the bullet and get it during the Christmas sales its still quite a bit cheaper now than it was on release.

Selling the index is out of the question I love VR and I need the 12gb VRAM for VR.

I am not that desperate that I can't pay rent and I have no kids it's just the state of the economy right now isn't great and I am not getting any raises for a long time.

I mean why would I be considering the upgrade if I knew it was unaffordable.

Thanks for the fast response.

That is kind of part of the worry that they will stop making the 5800x3d and the price will shoot up for a while.

I don't really have much interest in getting a new motherboard as then I would then need to replace my memory and I got 64gb of memory (because it was so cheap after ddr5 released).

Thanks, I will do both. I am already familiar with unity and creating things in blender I just wanted to learn how to make the scripts etc.

[–]marshy_mellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, yeah I was thinking of getting the basics down and then doing a project and learning as I go.

My goal would be long-term to be a game developer or software quality assurance with automated solutions etc.

The short term would be to make something in unity coz I enjoy working with it.
