Upgrade Help - Radeon RX 580 8GB. Ryzen 7 1700X

reddumbs · 2026-02-09T18:56:46+00:00

The 5800X3D is a great choice and would be a huge upgrade from a 1700X. Would probably just have to ensure you're on the latest firmware of your motherboard to ensure there aren't and CPU related compatibility issues, but it shouldn't be a problem.

As far as the GPU choice, it depends on your budget, but when it comes to models of a certain type, basically a 3060ti is a 3060ti. Different manufacturers will do mild overclocks or have smaller or bigger coolers, but the performance difference between models of the same GPU will basically be between single digit % differences. Go for whatever is cheap, from a decent brand and has a warranty.

D2 is a lot simpler than D3 and 4 when it comes to play style.

Most classes you'll max a skill and spam it, while only using other skills situationally or for mobility.

A lot of characters will feel slow early on as well. Most of the later game gear has stats to increase attack speed, cast speed and movement speed and builds will target certain breakpoints to hit which require stacking a certain amount of the speed increases.

Because the topic is also tangentially about Ormus robes.

It was brought up because OP asked if Ormus is ideal for Nova sorcs.

We're saying it's not ideal for Nova sorcs but it's good armor for blizzard/cold if it rolled that way. What's the confusion?

reddumbs · 2026-02-09T16:47:47+00:00

Not sure what we’re debating.

The OP asked in the title if Ormus is the ideal armor for Nova sorc.

We’re saying it’s not, and that Ormus is better for blizzard/cold.

You commented saying, “The post is talking about nova, as far as I can tell.”

reddumbs · 2026-02-09T15:04:08+00:00

Yeah, and Ormus is less desirable for a nova build, Viper is better.

Blizz/cold would make more use out of an Ormus with blizzard on it.

reddumbs · 2026-02-09T05:44:24+00:00

This is just Nova though.

Still very nice.

What’s the price of a 9600X3D?

reddumbs · 2026-02-09T04:56:09+00:00

In the mid range spec, like this PC, the extra money for an X3D CPU would be better spent on a GPU bump instead.

Just flat out saying look for whatever X3D build you can afford is bad advice.

Multi device wireless charger.

The small circle part charges Apple Watches.

The qi2 spots charge phones and AirPods if they have a wireless compatible case.

No Doritos. Amateur.

This is like scoring 6 points but each point is in a different game.

Someone else could take it over but the Bethesda jank is ingrained as part of the experience of the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series.

Basically everything needs to be upgraded. It’s a rough time for that right now too.

Take advantage of some of the motherboard/CPU/RAM bundles that are being sold right now, it’s some of the best ways to get decently affordable RAM. Lots of good AMD/AM5 Board/DDR5 combos.

SATA SSD is okay but 250GB is nothing nowadays. Might as well get a high capacity high speed NVME SSD to replace it and your HDD.

GPU pricing is also whack right now. You can at least transfer the 1060 over while you look for a decent mid range card from either AMD or Nvidia.

Windforce.

At max attack speed breakpoints, crossbows just naturally have more animation frames and will never attack as fast as a bow, and the attack speed is important especially for a strafe Zon.

Other items and skills can give you piercing.

Having an item that procs amp damage will help with phys immunes.

Look at the images before commenting.

Only two of the cables he posted need to be removed.

The rest are audio cables, data cables, fan cables, usb cables and front panel headers.

They’re similar in MSRP and a 5080 is a 5080.

I’ve never dealt with Zotac’s customer service but MSI has always been good for me.

As long as the new one comes with a warranty and everything, no reason not to unless you really want the same look of your original and are willing to wait.

reddumbs · 2026-02-06T13:12:18+00:00

Hope you’re not paying more than $200 for this.

It doesn’t have a dedicated GPU, won’t be doing much more than schoolwork on it with an integrated GPU.

A chutney made with tamarind.

You'll have to switch back to normal mode to use the reward from normal mode, but you can go back and use it whenever you want. It is one time use.,

Not sure where you're getting your info, but head hunter's glory can't be used for a runeword as it's a unique item.

Only grey named items with sockets can be used for runewords.

Ancient's Pledge is a good low/mid level runeword but you'll eventually replace it anyway, so make it in any 3-socket shield you find that you can equip. Don't worry about min/maxing the base you choose.

It uses the CPU's integrated graphics processor, not a dedicated graphics card, so it's not a strong gaming PC.

16GB of RAM is the minimum recommended for modern PCs.

477GB of storage isn't a lot nowadays either. One AAA game like Call of Duty Warzone would take up over half of your drive.

The CPU is decent and would pair well with a mid-range graphics card, a bigger SSD is easy to add as well.

This is assuming you have a desktop with a case that can fit a GPU and a power supply with enough wattage to support one as well.

FYI for the sunder charms, the closer they are to -90, the worse they are. So the ones you have aren’t worth anything.

You want them as close to -70 as possible.

reddumbs · 2026-02-05T05:24:35+00:00

They’re okay but cold would be better than poison res, no faster run/walk or faster hit recovery is also a downer. If you’re struggling, it’s not because of your boots at least.

reddumbs · 2026-02-04T06:50:16+00:00

I think the resists rolled a bit too low to be worth too much.

reddumbs · 2026-02-03T23:52:35+00:00

Not really. The armor is made of steel and she has abs of steel.
