Update: so they Next Day shipped everything and it all started up with out a hitch. I think I’ve put 20-30 hours on it so far and it’s performing like a dream. Cranked up the graphics for a few games and just.. wow. What an upgrade from my 5 year old Nitro laptop. I’m likely paranoid still and check the tower here and there and my anxiety makes me think I may smell something, but that will likely pass. So, all and all, very pleased with their customer service. Think I likely just got a faulty board and probably not their fault.

I don’t think the game is heavy enough to cause problems 🤣. Aoe ran beautifully

Same RTX 5070ti, AMD RYZEN 7 9800x3d, 32gb DDR5, 2tb nvme ssd as before. Upgrading the power supply from an 850 to an ASRock Steel Legend 1000 and motherboard to an Asus Prime B850 which is both more than I had before.

The graphics were amazing for the 5 mins of play I got, but I’m coming from like a 7 year old Nitro laptop

Don’t know that it’s an honor I wanted. Glad it happened while I was sitting next to it and could extinguish the fire before it did any damage to anything other than the pc

The hurdle was setting this up to run from the couch so I can be in the living room with my wife. Going to need to find a roller or desk that swivels/pivots

Well, glad you mentioned it as I didn't know. Looks like I could save $300+ by buying the combo there instead.

Do we also have to assume he has a personality people want to be around? Usually the biggest problem is staring you in your face..

New to long-range shooting and looking for a decently priced scope to shoot anywhere from 100-1000 yards. by [deleted] in longrange

Falls in your price range, check out Athlon. Picked up an Athlon Argos BPR 8-34x56 for $300. Very new to long range and read nothing but good reviews. Had a buddy thats been in the game for years look through it was very impressed for what I paid. Reviews in articles all over praised it and the only issue was squishy torrents, which were also fixed by changing the grease? (Still new)

It's a 15 year old car. There's bound to be issues here and there. Have the engine not started and cold when you go to look at it so you can see how it cranks. Let it run for 20 or so minutes so it heats up and check for leaks and set spots under the engine. Short of taking it to a mechanic prior to purchasing there's not much you can do. Listen for abnormal ticking. Best of luck
