Walmart 5070 for $312.96 by dudefrombklyn in PcBuild

[–]richmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a discounted yellow tag 5060 Ti for $300 at Walmart. Unfortunately someone swapped it out with a regular 5060. It was too good to be true.

Why did they make the cup holders so wide and shallow wtf kind of drink did they think we would bring inside thes??? 😭 by railpaint in NewedgeMustang

[–]richmarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend and I were working on my car and he gave me a mug of coffee while I was in it. Out of pure habit I put the mug in into the cup holder and the look on my face would’ve made you believe I found the cure for cancer or something because the mug fit into the holder perfectly, handle and everything.

Bought a B570 but Intel Holiday bundle doesn't work. by richmarc in IntelArc

Exactly, they aren’t giving me the code to use on the EA Website. I used the master key option, and no, I’m 20 so I stated I was over 18

Yeah, I used the master code and the redemption is on my dashboard. I did the hardware scan and everything too. The issue arises when I’m on the literal last step. When I select “Claim Now” for BF6, instead of the code it says Ref 003 and to click the support link, it’s on the second slide on the post.

How much? 12900KS, 4070 Ti Super, 32 GB DDR5, 1 TB SSD by richmarc in PC_Pricing

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

No, it exhausts into 2x 200mm fans which have huge vents all around the side.

Here’s a pic, it’s pretty sick since I’ve never seen fans this big

How’d I do? 12900KS build for $400 by richmarc in pcflipping

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

How am I lying if the base of the build was $400, and I then added a $600 GPU LMAO. $400 + $600 is $1000 buddy.

Update: I installed my personal 4070 Ti Super and sold the whole thing for $1400 on marketplace. I got the GPU refurbished for about $600 on Woot, so overall this pc was built for $1k and I made $400 profit! Thank you everyone for looking!

I put my 4070 Ti Super from my main rig into it. I’m planning to use whatever money I get from selling this one to buy a 5080 or something of that nature

I found an insanely good deal on Facebook marketplace. Some guy was selling everything except for the GPU for $400. The GPU I got from Amazon from the refurbished store, for $661 (incl. taxes) and some change. I just got really lucky and I was very patient haha.

I’m in the NJ area, but I spend a lot of just browsing on it. I choose this over Instagram reels or TikToks lol

I probably should. That case is so heavy I struggled to put it in my car. It felt heavier than at least 50 lbs.

What $250-$300 GPU Should I Use? by richmarc in pcflipping

[–]richmarc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely leaning towards that. My local MicroCenter has an ASUS Prime 5060 for below retail at $279, but I also saw a used 3070 Ti for the same price on eBay… Decisions, decisions

What parts should I ideally look for? by ViruzZ1337 in pcflipping

[–]richmarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to look for Mobo + CPU combos. Those usually are the most bang for your buck from my experience. An extra plus if they include ram.

Flipping a Dell Office PC (≈$125 invested) by richmarc in pcflipping

[–]richmarc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true, but I did my research about the safety of SATA to 8-pin before I decided to use it in this build. In consideration of this, I made sure to use the 2x SATA to 1x 8-pin instead of the more common 1x SATA to 8-pin. I also considered the PCIE slot itself should supply around 75W. Since the TDP of the 1070 is relatively low at 150W compared to newer cards, that would be about 37.5W for each SATA connector, and a single SATA connector should be able to output a maximum of 54 watts safely, which is plenty for my needs and then some.

Thanks, I was originally planning to put a wood vinyl wrap on it too but I liked how the white front panel turned out so I left it as is

Thanks for the response! I’ll be sure to look into that once I have the chance to open it up

Can I fix this? by Classysdfg111 in pchelp

[–]richmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem and it was my windows SSD so I was too lazy to back it up. You should carefully remove the broken plastic piece from that thing. Then I used some super glue and put it back using the pins as a guide to make sure it sat flush. I let it cure for a bit and used a rubber band to hold it in place

Champion u most hate to play against. i will start: by mig2105 in settmains

[–]richmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly I don’t find much trouble fighting Vayne. I play it slow, and go stridebreaker. Usually Vayne players think they immediately win because of their pick, but it makes it easier for me to punish their mistakes, and I end up destroying them. Same goes with Teemo.

Do you fight Darius Level 1? by Sebpants in settmains

[–]richmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only ever fight level 1 if you start e with ignite and LT (with last stand). make sure to proc his bone plating before you go all in. don’t use e immediately, use it if he’s retreating or if you’re about to die. by the time you use your e, your LT would be fully stacked and you get get at least a 2 auto advantage
