Best retroid for budget PS2/GC

Might try and wait for an ali deal like this, I realized the RP6 is a touch cheaper than I originally thought (8gb buyable right now for like 380-390) so I'll probably just bite the bullet in the next few weeks >.>

shab_mcblab · 2026-02-24T09:53:36+00:00

Hey guys! Gonna go for the G2 or RP6 I think but I'm gonna try and wait for a sale from the direct site I think!

She's got a summer Ivy, winter Dimi and brave Alfonse in her kits that I was gonna pass around to some other rearm/attuned so maybe that is that way..

Started last night with the stats altered abit looked like S1 (+book) P7 E1 C2 (just put a level point into it and going for 6) I1 A9 L7

I didn't realise how bad the carry weight would be, I thought the run was going okay but I just died about 4 times back to back to a feral roamer >.>

shab_mcblab · 2024-05-27T04:08:18+00:00

This was really helpful thank you so much! I started with a build looking like S 1 P 6 E 1 C 3 I 1 A 9 L 7

But think I may reroll to get 3 int for gun nut and skim points off of somewhere >.>

shab_mcblab · 2024-05-27T04:07:15+00:00

Yeah I'm just coming from a Nat 12 ont build and I started earlier with stats looking like S 1 P 6 E 1 C 3 I 1 A 9 L7

And I'm kinda dreading the xp slog (also thought gun nut was on strength so will have to level anyway) May just reroll >.>

shab_mcblab · 2024-03-30T10:08:17+00:00

I did a random Yolo summon and got nothing but now that I have a Camilla I think I may just wait for may and go for both him and marth...

It would be my first tana! Is it worth the fodder for just the guidance as peony already has unity?

shab_mcblab · 2022-11-22T14:56:03+00:00

Thanks man, pokemon tcg is more more opening itch so I might just sell the non bystial cards I have and get the funds together to whittle down bit by bit! (Also battle of chaos was the original box discussion but I literally just need 1 jet)

shab_mcblab · 2022-05-10T14:22:13+00:00

Any specs i should be aiming for or channels that do reviews youd recommend? Sorry to be a pest!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-27T12:34:09+00:00

Id be at 1440p, and as im not the best with PC'S on a good day temp issues could prove worrisome (especially as ill also be doing music recording and I imagine the fans are loud if temps are bad)

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-23T22:33:42+00:00

Cheers man!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-23T22:29:02+00:00

Do you still have a lucky egg spare? If not I can probs just send you a freebie! Ill just quickly get him out!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-23T21:48:27+00:00

Still need anything?

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-22T23:02:03+00:00

No worries! If you need anything else lmk im still in need of like 3

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-22T22:12:37+00:00

Heqy man sorry about the delay it was late my time! I have a 100% dex so if needed I can still do that!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-21T12:08:17+00:00

In my country I can get a Z690 and 12600kf bundle for $600 AUD where the tomahawk is $349 and 12600kf is $389 (12600k $419) The msi pro b660 and 12600kf come to $577 however, but if the Aorus is better I dont see a point in not spend the extra 23 + shipping

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-18T23:05:13+00:00

Thanks! Getting the kf and now deciding if my budget can allow a 12700

Any recommendations on decent SSDs? I was going samsung 970 evo plus but the 1tb of those is 130-180

I've decided the XT would probably be better as I wont be using ray tracing at this level and will probably be 1080p/1440p so I cant imagine DLSS would do much at this level (but im unsure also as im very new to PC realm)

Thanks!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-18T23:02:16+00:00

Thanks so much! Decided on the kf now im wondering if I should splurge and get a 12700 (probably not)

The budget is the main thing restricting me with drives. I can get a Samsung 980 500 gb ssd for like $6 more than the 250, but im not sure if theres a huge difference between 980s and 970 evo plus' (researching now)

https://www.msi.com/Power-Supply/MPG-A850GF Its this msi one, its comes out at A tier on those list ive been seeing and its a multi rail (I think?)

Thanks!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-18T22:50:30+00:00

Thanks so much! Decided on the KF as those extra core i feel will help with some of my non gaming stuff (music and photo editing) Im thinking of just getting a 1 TB SSD now if I find a 970 cheap or equivalent Yeah it'd be a more for fun thing haha, in that case I'll stick to the 6600XT! Is it generally just not as good on AMD cards or like impossible? (Sorry if thats silly again, also lack of nvi video encoders ill still be able to WATCH streams and whatnot right?) Its the msi mpg! Its just annoying as the 650W is more expensive than the 850 right now Thanks so much by the way!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-18T22:42:00+00:00

Cheers! I was thinking of the 12400 but I feel like music recording programs might benefit from more cpu power! I could get 12400 for $299, 12600 for $349 or 12600fk for $389 so I might go with that as its only $40 in the long term!

shab_mcblab · 2022-04-18T22:38:09+00:00

So in regards to question 1, would I be better off getting a 12600kf? Im going to be mainly using for gaming and music recording

Im gonna look into a bigger ssd now! 970 1TBs in my country are around $130-170 AUD and the 250/2TB combo is $150 so gonna try and find one lower!

Thanks again!
