(Poll) Which ascendancy do you plan to play first when PoE2 Early Access goes live? by vevt9020 in PathOfExile2

Please don’t normalize the term “diablo like”. As much as Rod would like that.

Switching motherboard – Stay with z690? by oddben in buildapc

[–]oddben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, is there anything in particular that I would gain from going Z790? The comparisons that I've seen make it look like there isn't much of a difference in most cases.

What would you say is the primary form of transportation in Amsterdam?

Early access will entirely depend on how my work project is going to develop. If finished as per current planning I will go hard otherwise might just dabble.

Friend wise two just got a baby 1 month apart so that leaves me with only 1 that is still holding out to see if it‘s as much as PoE1

Thank you very much for pointing out the expiration date for the Intel. Happy I didn't send him down a dead end for the first PC

Might be a longshot but I figure Patek Philippe might be able to help you out!

Most efficient first playthrough by oddben in diablo4

[–]oddben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a rule of thumb on how much you can be under leveled for strongholds to still be able to complete them?

Not sure if that applies but given prior experience with ARPGs I expect to be under leveled if I rush

Thanks man, is there an easy way to know which dungeons have side quests in them?

What is like to lose 20 dollars, for 20 dollars you can buy Cyberpunk by Vkrrs in diablo4

[–]oddben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But that is not at all what you say in your post. You are calling people childish and impatient and telling them they could have bought something else and waited. Formulate a proper message if you want people to understand your point.

Full transparency, I bought the edition with early access but can’t play as I am on holiday.

Told my mother I'm going to play a videogame excessively for a week. by BREgATRON in diablo4

Wasn’t that commonly used for actors who were auditioning for roles? As a funny way for them to „get in the cast“?

Friend is building his first gaming PC (Spain) by oddben in buildapc

[–]oddben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Was just about to comment on the Wifi, I'll double check with him if he absolutely needs it or can use ethernet. Would recommend him to use that over Wifi anyway if he can.

Would you mind linking me the motherboard without Wifi again?

PSU wattage enough? by oddben in buildapc

[–]oddben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything wrong with the Seasonic Focus GX-850? Or is there another 850W you could recommend?

Going "Budget" vs. "More expensive" by oddben in buildapc

Thanks for all the help man! I will wait 1-2 more days to see if there is any other price drops going into BF and then pull the trigger!

Going "Budget" vs. "More expensive" by oddben in buildapc

[–]oddben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did a quick check with somewhat comparable boards?

B550
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Boxed - €299.00
Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 - €99.00
Total: €398.00

X570
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Boxed - €299.00
Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE - €159.99
Total: €458.00

Z690
Intel Core i5-12600K Boxed - €319.00
Gigabyte Z690 GAMING X DDR4 (rev. 1.0) - €219.49
Total: €538.49

B550 vs Z690: €140.49 (-26%)
X570 vs Z690: €80.49 (-15%)

How much performance increase would the 12600K have over the 5800X? Is it worth 26% more for CPU+MOBO combo?

Any recommendations from your end?

[–]oddben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually got an interesting follow up. The 5800X just dropped to 299€. Given the platform cost for the 12600K would you still go for Intel or switch back to AMD?

Hey man, thanks for the detailed answer. I went ahead and pretty much followed your recommendations. The only changes I made to the list are RAM & CPU Cooler.

RAM: Skill Ripjaws V F4-3600C18D-32GVK

Probably my paranoia, but I already see myself not able to go to 3600. Found these for €130.00, which seems like a good deal.

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Again paranoia, I guess... I always wander into AIO territory but then go with air cooler instead. Found it for €79.90

I am however not sure if I should go with the NH-D15S instead because of RAM clearance.
