I'm just wary of all pre-owned cards so a bit of that will carry onto this

what abojt blue snowball?
tawny quest
it picks up a bit of the desk hitting but its not bad in terms of sound quality
lone depot
you know whats crazy @tawny quest
shipping is the price of the blue yeti
crazy expensive.
tawny quest
how much is shipping for you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHViVT0YU4 I trust this guy for mics @lone depot
tawny quest
It's a dynamic mic
good if you don't have a sound treated area
condenser mics can pick up a lot of background noise
tawny quest
Dynamic mics are better for cancelling out at least some of that noise
But with all mics, the closer to you the better
ofc not eating it tho
lone depot
lmao haha
mam this is crazy expensive
shipping is so expensive
it wasn't like this before
tawny quest
why is shipping more than half the price
lone depot
tawny quest
maybe a site more located near you might have cheaper shipping

should i get a 8600k for 100 and a msi z370 a-pro for 62.99 w/o shipping and tax
worn rose
ree I was gonna post that 3900x deal :v
finite fjord
@bleak pike I mean the competitor to that is the 3600 which is $170 for the CPU alone, then another $90 - $120 for a decent mobo. So the deal is pretty decent
Considering it's $163 for CPU and mobo
bleak pike
wait what is that comment based from?

Don't forget tone is basically impossible to tell from standard text. Which is why "not straight text" and "/s" exist
finite fjord
Still tho, be a bit more careful in making sure people can tell it's a joke

It syncs with all razer
hollow prawn
just get like a logitech g402 or whatever its called
blissful hazel
Just get a sabrent rocket q or crucial p1
smoky violet
Why are the p1's so relatively cheap?
I've seen m.2 ssd's with the same capacity going for much more. Is there any tradeoff?
hollow prawn
Slower, qlc, lower endurance.
blissful hazel
Tbh yeah
outer cypress
its plenty fast
blissful hazel
Compared to sata, its more than double
outer cypress
people always complain about how QLC drives are slow, but sata is on 500 lol.
blissful hazel
Exactly
outer cypress
my 660p is rated for 1800 read
unless youre a heavy video editor or some other thing that needs fast read and write speeds, most ssds are fine
even sata ones
m2 drives are nice though
outer cypress
no clue
but seriously
the p1 is fast
there is faster, like samsung or WD, but the p1 is fast
smoky violet
samsung is asking 200+ for the same storage so no thanks, i'll pass on the evo for now
hollow prawn
boot time varies
outer cypress
haha yeah
hollow prawn
I think I have 11 sec boot on my mp510
blissful hazel
Yep
hollow prawn
but I do have a bunch of programs on startup

hmmm

It wasn't legit 😦

press X to doubt
finite fjord
The P1/660p suck due to lack of a decent cache setup
certain scenarios cause it to be super slow, easily slower then any decent SATA SSD out there in the same scenario
outer cypress
i havent noticed anything slow like that
its been in use for over a year now
¯_(ツ)_/¯
blissful hazel
Almost a week for me
finite fjord
tho as I said, certain scenario
blissful hazel
Indeed, but just normally it is more than fast enough
finite fjord
I mean, so is a SATA SSD
blissful hazel
Well its around the same price
gusty roost
@smoky violet dealing with large files is the most cache intensive

hardware prices are going up bc a large portion of the tech industry is in china i.e. hindered by coronavirus. Production down, prices up. Here's a vid for a full explanation https://youtu.be/SPoPwrQwm_g

its not as good as you think it is
sometimes third party sellers list the product as like $150 when its really worth $60, then they will say its on sale for $35

Rebrand, probably

rx 570 4gb 77.08$ watt 150
which is worth to buy guys help.
south echo
honestly i'd say save a bit more so you can go into the 8gb options at least.
idk thats just me tho. theres plenty of professionals here that can give better advice haha
tawny quest
well a dollar more for a 580 ain't bad, a oced 580 can reach 590 performance but 4gb is starting to be a bit low for modern titles
if you can 8gb vram would be better

bleak pike
nah
blissful hazel
The 2080 msrp isnt 450

Can anyone suggest a prebuilt computer(amd preferred) that I can upgrade smaller things later on with like RAM, storage, and gpu.
A gpu like an rx 580 would suffice for a pre built desktop. Just wanna get it for my girlfriend and upgrade it over time so she doesnt need crazy specs to start off
south echo
We’re long distance and i cant build it for her right away lol @blissful hazel
Otherwise that would be option 1 and my question wouldve never been asked 😅
blissful hazel
They are in the united states too correct?
south echo
Sorry what is?
blissful hazel
Your girlfriend, she is in america?
south echo
Oh yeah she is
blissful hazel
Ok.... budget?

Is it time to look at Linus secret shopper video conclusion again?
