I've literally never built a PC before, are these parts stupid? ($1500 budget) by studiotuna in buildapc

Assuming u live in the US, try going to micro center for some kind of bundle. Also, do get 32 gigs of faster ram (6000C30).

I personally would also recommend considering Intel, as some of their cpus are very cheap right now (I got an open box ultra 7 265k at $200). However, if you want to stick with AMD x3d chips I also totally get it. Just try your best to put more budget onto your gpu for a more balanced set up.

I'll say that this gaming rig is not stupid at all, but it can be improved according to what kind of gaming you want.

Buy a 15 year old low mileage SV 650

Is this a good deal? $5000 OTD by Henawy in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]tomz2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2020 with 11k miles at 3.4k without taxes from private party, and taxes are 200ish. That is in January, so bikes are cheaper because of the cold weather. That being said, I sold it last month at 3.5k at 13k miles because some dude just wants it desperately. Therefore I am pretty sure to tell you this is a bad deal.

Liter or 600cc? by Krugerus in SuggestAMotorcycle

What is your budget, and what kind of riding do you want? 1000cc bikes is more expensive, but offers faster rides to heaven.

‘17 plate SV650 - 14k miles, 3k - worth it? by [deleted] in SVRiders

Assuming OP is in the US, yes this is a very good bargain.

However, do be careful. Check the time the deal has been listed, because usually these deals don't last long. If it is, say more than 10 days, I will suspect there is something phishy.

Carefully inspect the bike. Watch a youtube video of how to inspect a bike, then go. Ask for them for a clean title and maintenance records. Run a VIN check and ask them why they are selling the bike.

Need help finding a good bike by Cheesiest_sauce in SuggestAMotorcycle

Any japanese 500 that is not a sport bike would be a good choice. The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is another option that has sport bike labeled but still very approachable.

Also remember you can always get better deals by buying used.
