Bang for the buck--teenager's gpu upgrade from an RX 580. Budget $350 or less.
Nope, I haven't heard back. I think the flaky connection would clear up with a new 5090--not likely to happen. 👴- Blind Dog

Bang for the buck--teenager's gpu upgrade from an RX 580. Budget $350 or less.
It was in Penticton, and it was "Just sold." --when I checked. Sorry for tardy reply. Just off the beaten path, things often languish there unsold. I scored a mint Thorens tt for $100, just a couple of years ago. It's a Casino town, and generally (imo) regarded as being rude & unfriendly. Guy...- Blind Dog

Bang for the buck--teenager's gpu upgrade from an RX 580. Budget $350 or less.
Kids, a blessing from heaven, or OG grifters? I found this gpu, a short drive away, and suggested 'we' also upgrade psu, cpu, and memory as well. He got colicky that I bought him 'old junk' in the first place. (In my defense; he was turning 12, covid was rocking it, and I only had $1200 in the...- Blind Dog

Cannabis thread?
I try to avoid the smoke, and load jell caps with 'Phoenix Tears'--but fine tuning, or bumping a waning buzz level, requires a little lung action. I find the vapes too raunchy for any sort of regular use. They also break too quickly, and regularly let me down battery wise. My wife's monthly bill... -

Indica, at work in the wee hours. Since legalization, I mourn the loss of my 'Outlaw' status ... 💀 ... but the price is a welcome surprise. banana -
Bang for the buck--teenager's gpu upgrade from an RX 580. Budget $350 or less.
Thanks for the great response, I'm going to encourage the RX 7600 @ Canadian Cumputers, and I think as far as a cpu he's going after a 5800x3d (mine :rolleyes:) . I think the gpu will come down to whether he wants to go to the trouble of switching out PSU's. 🫡I really appreciate the effort, the...- Blind Dog

My grandson-type person has asked for advice on a new gpu. He's just wanting to game at 1080p, at 120 htz. His budget is sub $350. I would prefer he buys in Canada, but private individuals would be cool elsewhere. Ryzen 7 2700 4.1 GHZ Asus B450-A (PCIe 3.0 slot) Corsair Veng' LPX 16gb DDR4 3200...- Blind Dog

New Wireless Mouse recommendations
Years back, I splurged on a very spendy Logitech. Once. Within a year, I needed new batteries--Logitech cost a fortune, and ko's sucked. My bragging rights were limited to, 'I have the most expensive mouse, sitting (dusty) on the shelf.'. By the recommendations here, I think I'll give the...- Blind Dog

They're Canadian, eh. 🏒🦫 Ordered a Simagic Neo steering wheel, from "Sim Racing Pros" and it was December 23rd. On December 24th 🎅 I got the wheel--perfect packing. It was significantly less $ than any other vendor, with express shipping, itd. The free ephemera was a cherry on top. Stellar CS... -
Who wants more Noctua - How about a PSU?
I built a 'purple one', for my wife. She thought it was pretty. I think it was a Soyo too -- a Soyo Dragon maybe? (My first Lexan & lights mod.)- Blind Dog

Whats your latest purchase?
Ours is 'bout due too, but I'm holding off--waiting to see what's coming down the pike. I remember when our 35" CRT Hitachi was $4k with tax. Lasted 2 weeks past warranty, and developed fatal pinstripes. LG 55" has gone above, and beyond. I don't think it's been shut off more than half a dozen... -

The Happy thread!
I ship infrequently (4 times a year?)--ime the small business shipping can easily pay for itself with one significant shipment. If anyone is getting that "ouch" feeling from a Canada Post shipping estimate, I would encourage looking into it. The counter staff aren't likely to suggest it. Guitar... -

9800X3D Reviews.
I near died watching him seat his cpu. He's a 'bigger hammer' dude. We did his first build together, and it was quite an experience. I laugh, now. BTW: Congrat's to anyone who gets a 9800X3D. I would love to have one, but with my AM4 socket, it's not in the cards.- Blind Dog

9800X3D Reviews.
My 13 year-old-grandson-type sent me his pc, after trying to fix it himself. First taco-shell-shaped cmos battery I'd ever seen. :unsure: I'm still happy with the 5800X3D/4080 combo too. I've bought some new ram, and new Firecudas, but they languish in their boxes. Racing sims haven't taxed...- Blind Dog
