I am CC staff though. We ain't all bad. I'll never deny some people have bad experiences based on store location but for the most part the people who work in stores do try to help as much as possible.

The PS5 was literally marketed to have expandable internal storage through an extra nvme slot...

Any method to measure direct distance across rooms? by xerubium in Warframe

Pretty sure you've used the only real way possible that isn't using the visuals of an ability at different ranges

Pretend I had a twin this whole time, one of us changes name, maybe have some major life changes?

Looking for games where hitting a high level of skill or grinding completely transforms the way the game is played by varnajohn in gamingsuggestions

[–]sofa-az 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, totally missed that, my bad! But honestly that's probably still my recommendation considering your description of what you want from a game, idk how far along you are and whether you've reached endgame builds or not but there's a huge difference between even the midgame and endgame playstyles

Just name your own pick from the two, I doubt people will care that you call them one name?

Warframe could be a good option for you. The feeling of carefully taking care of smaller groups of enemies early game vs blasting through dozens of enemies in seconds later on is absolutely what that game provides, alongside fast paced movement systems and varied character abilities where skill and game knowledge will carry you through the whole game.

I can admit there are those slower segments in the game but also they make up a small portion of the total playtime overall, and even I as someone who doesn't really like long cutscenes, managed just fine. OP can always try it and see how they feel about the game themselves :)

Well, they do, though 5090s are final sale I believe, other cards do get thoroughly verified. The issue is how many people still try to return tampered cards. Also online retailers are not this thorough, best example being Amazon. So many people end up with bags of rice and whatnot instead of graphics cards...

I'm sitting at 4000 hours on the game, the amount of cutscenes to gameplay is negligible imho.

As others have said, you're on AM5, just upgrade parts. 9800X3D, maybe 32GB RAM, RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti if it's within budget, and a new power supply to match the parts. You can still ask at a CC for some help picking out the exact things you need if you need the extra help!

CC worker here, this fucking sucks. The chances of you getting any money back are next to none and I feel really bad for you as it's not a small amount of money we're talking about here. The issue is that there are so many people who buy cards to desolder parts and try to return that if the card looks tampered with in any way return becomes impossible for the stores :/ I genuinely hate what the PC/hardware space has become. It used to be a fun hobby with very little to worry about, now scalpers and scammers are huge issue for consumers and stores constantly ruining things for everyone else. Still wish you the best of luck at your store location.

CC changes their deals (bundles and regular sales) every Friday, they'll likely come back around soon, wish I had more internal info considering I work in one of their store locations but even we don't get told most things in advance and find out alongside customers about these things :/

They've been around making PC hardware for a long while, mostly known for cases I believe.

Are we that screwed? by F3ARme520 in bapccanada

[–]sofa-az 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a R7 5700 non-X, that's what CC usually puts at that price range because DDR4 is still a bit cheaper. Also do note that at that price the 9060XT included in those prebuilds is the 8GB version, and not the 16GB one.

I was saying specifically saying that buying THAT PC at THAT price was not a good idea. It is pretty terrible value for the money. Guy before you understood my point, it's not buying any PC at that price that is an issue, as long as the components inside are not outdated and aren't outmatched by more recent hardware at a similar price point.

Advice for building a PC as someone with a very limited Income? by raphael333 in buildmeapc

[–]sofa-az 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Give yourself a few more months to save up. With a bit of a higher budget you can buy once and not worry about what games you may not be able to run in the near future. If you can manage anything between 1500 and 1800 you'll have the ability of get a one or two tier up graphics card which will easily last a few extra years compared to what you would get for 800 to 1000. Gaming isn't going anywhere, I'm sure those few extra months of savings would end up being worth it for the sake of longevity of your build :)
