I just built an AM5!

My biggest concern is your storage. Thats a PCIE 3 x 4 rather than a PCIe 4 x 4. I went with the 1 TB Solidigm P44 for $50. There's also the Samsung 990 Pro which has gone on sale a few times recently. The Samsung NVMEs all slap, it the two drives I mentioned are meant to be the fastest available.

You have a micro-ATX board with a Mid tower ATX case, by the way. You could get a smaller case, if you wanted to. $120 is an amazing price for a B650 board, I paid $180 and thought that was the best I could do because I only looked at Newegg.

On your RAM I made sure the RAM I bought was certified for AMD EXPO. The newest overclocking solution. Without overclock, RAM will often run at 5200 or 5600 depending on the motherboard. But 6000 is meant to be the sweet spot for this series of CPUs. I disagree that 32GB is necessary. You can always double it up from 16GB later on. Edit: CSky2? You mag actually want the 32GB, that would be a quick check with a benchmark or a user post about RAM consumption by the game to confirm if 32GB would have payoff or not.

Why the 6700 XT instead of the RX 7600? I decided the 7600 was a better value because I want to game at 1080p for the next few years. I went with the 7800X3D and after taxes my build was $1400. Ouch that was a hard pill to swallow. I started below $1000 and got greedy. But we're splitting hairs, if you prefer one of these cards then power to you.

I imagine your CPU and your GPU both recommend a 650W power supply, and I imagine you know something I dont and 600W will handle it fine. But if they recommend 750W, I would just double check.

Edit: by the way Newegg has the Fantastech sale starting now-ish but really opening up on October 9th. And I think Intel is announcing new products next month? I'm unsure. Obviously I decided to do it now, and if I have buyer's remorse so be it.

Obligatory screw second thought he's a tankie not a socialist

I can't believe how acceptable college interruption / dropping out is. These fuckers are just profiting off of people's failure to jump through every single hoop perfectly to be a Model Citizen. You wanna escape having your body be your only source of capital, and have the treasure of knowledge keep you from a life of back pain? Fuck you, pay me. And him. And them. With interest, thanks.

Seriously what does any of this lingo even mean?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fwupd

Sounds like FW Updater here is adding support for NAVI 3x which is the 5nm / RDNA 3 chips, AKA Ryzen RX 7000 series (for example RX 7600). Does this mean you can now update the firmware for the chip? Does it mean FWUpd will automatically handle firmware updates for you?

Bonus challenge if you wanna talk to me about what some of the linux firmware lingo means.

Still a bus! Yeah I can see why that might be better as a school bus.

I hate school busses so much. The town should have a bus system. The whole line up of busses at schools puts pollutants all over kids going home. Every single day.

The post frames this avoidance as both a result of the fear windows errors cause, and as... Rather than avoiding, streamlining. Simplifying. Being uninterested and lacking curiosity is "easier" for this thought experiment windows user. Because the computer is mystical magic that is beyond them. The OS has manipulated this quality into us.

I wanna add that having a phone, or a laptop, a second reliable device, has made troubleshooting so much less scary. Something breaks entirely? I have another portal to the search engines.

Seriously this. I read it but damn.

I didn't do this, the writers are making their own choice.

I wonder if these scientists played classic WoW. Yea, humans have an incredible ability to follow individually harmful social norms and prioritize the group for the sake of a greater goal. I wonder if narcissists can even last in such a righteous environment.

I wonder if prioritizing depending cooperation and bonds as a goal will force others to play nicely, too.
