I use a book as a mousepad
Use rubbing alcohol.
what a turkish salary does to a man
I've spent all of my money on turkish flags to cover my room
Huh. I've never thought of making them out of glass.
What do you make yours out of?
Be careful. There are reports of the cards overheating and exploding.
I'm aware, from what I've seen this happens to be an issue with mostly the FE, and it is rare. I will still try to buy it despite these warnings, because I trust in the warranty process and myself to fully insert the cable.
Usually, it is cheaper to build your own PC, so unless you get an extremely lucky deal, I don't recommend it.
If you simply want to avoid the hassle of building a computer yourself, it's not a horrible idea. Nowadays the price gouging isn't so bad. You'd probably pay a couple hundred extra if you purchase from a good seller, others may scam you heavily. If you can spare a couple hours to do some research and figure out how to connect all of your parts together, you can save yourself the money you would've overspent on a prebuilt.
I did this and it’s been running great for 5+ years. Of course you pay more for the assembly tax but that’s expected.
Its going to melt itself again like the 4000 series
Thanks. I have 800 US dollars to spend.
What about the risk of messing up the motherboard? I can be clumsy sometimes.
I don't think that'd be a huge issue, I would just say do things slowly if you're scared of something breaking. Otherwise, seems mostly easy or at least rather hard to screw up, especially now.
The market is raped right now because of the blackwell launch, unless you want a 4060 in your system I'd just wait. I think prices will be alright within 2 months. Check your local used marketplaces (like facebook) in case you can find a good deal in the mean time. Don't worry about messing up the motherboard, computer PCBs are a lot tougher than you think they are. Building a computer is just like putting a lego set together, just look at the instructions.
The only ones I've ever seen with my own eyes were made from cloth and rubber.What do you make yours out of?
Would you say now is a good time to purchase PC parts?
Potentially, depending on your budget and preference (used, new). The graphics card market is absolutely fucked, but a lot of people are offloading their old hardware to upgrade on the used market. Also, it depends on where you are. In the US, Trump's tarriffs might be hitting. I'm not educated enough to know, but regardless of whether or not they're actually here, some pc part manufacturers have raised prices blaming the tariffs. For your $800 build, I'd look around the used market. If you want to buy new, I'd suggest upping your budget by a couple hundred if you don't want to wait and making the 9070/9070xt your graphics card. It'll perform similarly to a 7900xtx/RTX 4080, but with improved frame generation. Otherwise, NVIDIA's 5060 and AMD's 9060 series of cards will be here Q2 2025, with NVIDIA's cards likely coming sooner. Those cards will probably cost around 300-400.
