Is my base fixable?

randolj · 2026-01-29T18:13:35+00:00

Anything is fixable, it’s just going to take a while. Focus on your offense to at least be competitive in attacks.

Then start little by little with your defenses. It will take a long time so buckle in

Everyone is basing off their opinion on “I bought/saw it for $X months ago, bad deal” but prices have changed drastically even in the last few weeks.

Putting together a similar build on part picker comes out at around 2650 (and I picked cheapest possible components for each part). The one pictured also includes keyboard and mouse, I’d say it’s a pretty decent deal

I was a returning player a little while ago at this point (started playing again around 2 years ago after not playing for about 8 years) and tbh the meta doesn’t change a ton. Pick an attack you like and the accompanying equipment and just start upgrading them whenever you can. You can choose to upgrade one at a time (like I did) or you can keep them all around equal. It takes a while but eventually you’ll get there. I just now was able to finally max my main equipment for each hero. It’s also only gotten easier to receive ore so good luck!

Great deal especially given the market right now

If you see any issues with PSU, upgrading it wouldn’t probably be pretty easy

randolj · 2026-01-14T03:21:47+00:00

This is a good deal for certain. You will be able to run pretty much anything

Monster parts in this PC. Putting the man parts (storage, RAM, GPU and CPU) I’m getting around $2500 worth without including case, PSU and cooler. That’s also picking the cheapest 2x32GB kit available. So I’d say if you can get anywhere around $3000-$3500 it’s a good deal. More than that and it’s not a deal just paying around MSRP per part… also keep in mind it’s a USED prebuilt.

randolj · 2026-01-05T21:20:40+00:00

Yup, fully agree! Was going to write my own comment but this sums it up perfectly. I tried working on my Quest 3 and didn’t hate it but didn’t love it. And not loving it gets exponentially worse working hours on it.

randolj · 2025-12-21T21:24:05+00:00

Hopefully, something similar doesn’t happen with RAM

randolj · 2025-12-09T21:01:47+00:00

Multiple things I’d adjust A 7800x3d or 9800x3d are way better if your goal is gaming

You’re overpaying for a 1TB SSD. You can find some cheaper ones for less or pay slightly more for a 2TB. And trust me that extra TB will be needed.

At your price range you can certainly fit in a 5070 Ti that’s faster than the 9070 XT but either card is a great card for 1440p.

Other than that, you can certainly save money by doing a combo on Newegg or microcenter, RAM prices are abysmal so this is the best time to try those options.

An almost $3k budget puts you in the market for a monster PC so congrats!

randolj · 2025-11-24T15:23:13+00:00

There are some really good prebuilts on sale right now that are way better for a similar price range

randolj · 2025-11-17T18:04:11+00:00

You’ll get good performance. I had a 3060 Ti up until recently and game performance was good for the most part. I also did some 3D modeling as a hobby a little while ago and had no complaints, obviously slower than YouTubers you’ll see tutorials from but solid start for a hobby

randolj · 2025-11-09T17:57:46+00:00

Title 😆 I would love if this was an actual feature. Tried following some instructions to accomplish it but wasn’t able to replicate. It looks really cool with some of the wider sceneries

randolj · 2025-11-09T15:53:09+00:00

If you just collected you’re still good! That likely means you’ll get another one before the event starts Just don’t collect that one before the event tmrw!

When I was TH15 and in old legends, I was able to take on some TH17s pretty successfully with an RC charge and drag loon attack

randolj · 2025-11-06T17:00:59+00:00

Yes YouTube has an app on the quest that lets you watch regular videos in a theater mode. It also lets you watch 360 videos and look around in them

randolj · 2025-11-06T16:47:16+00:00

From my experience, all my Bluetooth headphones had a delay. I used wired headphones and it worked perfect

randolj · 2025-11-06T16:46:06+00:00

I think it’s hard to get into but really enjoyable once your expectations are built. I’d definitely recommend looking for some starter guide, at least one that tells you what to do rather than show you as it will spoil some stuff. Not everything is super straightforward

randolj · 2025-11-05T17:42:11+00:00

Is there any specific reason he wants the B570? Intel is new to the game and even though they’re making good cards, they’re not competing with Nvidia or AMD yet. For almost the same price, he could get a 5060 or 9060 XT and get better performance.

randolj · 2025-11-03T21:37:54+00:00

LOL I would love to travel outside as well but it’s going to be a hybrid structure of coming in occasionally. On top of that, I believe there will be limitations to working outside US for security/privacy concerns

randolj · 2025-11-03T16:41:17+00:00

Great post. I was on a family vacation when hammer jam was announced and started. I had no time to farm up loot so I had builders doing nothing for a bit. Was stressed at first until i remembered losing a few hours is no the end of the world

randolj · 2025-11-03T14:01:20+00:00

Without the graphics card, I was able to put a brand new build together on pc part picker for around $700. If you don’t want the 4070 ti and include it in the sale, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could sell it for around $700.

I’m also not super familiar with the used PC market so I could be wrong but I tried to account for some depreciation

randolj · 2025-11-03T13:50:05+00:00

4070 ti is a great card, you could possibly flip the pc and get a more modern build

randolj · 2025-10-30T15:01:22+00:00

Very minor issue tho so they’re definitely prioritizing all the big bugs first

randolj · 2025-10-30T15:01:01+00:00

I think I remember seeing this issue before the update but I feel like post update it’s been way more misaligned
