An AMD 5800X3D in the sales, four 8GB sticks of 3200 mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM and a Noctua NH-U14S CPU cooler. Just saving for the MSI B550-A PRO motherboard to go with it. Certainly gonna be a step up from my current i7-4770k rig with it's original GTX 770.
Very nice, what graphics card are you gonna pair it with?

At the moment, only my GTX 770. I was hoping that the integrated graphics capabilities of that CPU would surpass it and I can retire my 770 until I can get something better. I don't game so much on my PC anymore so when AMD release something that can use that 3d V-Cache, that's the way i'll go. Even if it's towards the bottom end of the range. As long as it will give me at least 60 fps at 1440p on any game at mid/high detail levels, it's all good.

Thank you for asking. I appreciate it.

The 5800x doesn't have any integrated GPU, so you'll be stuck with the 770 for now.

Thanks. I hadn't realized that the 5800X3D wasn't an APU. Oh well, you live and learn. It's gonna be a good CPU regardless. I still wouldn't have bought a 5700 G even if it is half the price as it's the 3d V-Cache in the X3D that's the selling point in the end.

Since you said you dont game much anymore, it might have been better to with a 5900X (same price) or 13600k for the increased ipc performance in multithread apps and more cores. The 5800X3D is just a straight up gaming cpu (still one of the best on the market) and trades blows with AM5 and intel 13th gen highest end chips in games. It will lose in computation stuff to the regular 5800X, the 3D stacked vcache doesnt really have any use outside of games, it also means the cpu is locked and cant be overclocked. The gtx770 is going to be the biggest bottleneck in your system.

Its not like its a bad chip outside of games though, I bought one myself due to the heavy sale price, upgrading from a 5th gen intel hedt cpu 5820k. I dont do rendering, encoding, video editing, photo processing, streaming, ect, its pretty much just games and web browsing,

Thanks for your advice, thoughts and the recommendations. I appreciate it. I had considered the 5900X before buying the 5800X3D but I would still need something better than my 770 and I can't afford a new GPU right now. Also, while the 13600k looks tempting in hindsight, I had planned on buying an AMD GPU in the future anyway. I'm hoping that like a lot of the buyers of the 5800X3D that those GPU's that can use the V-Cache will be a good buy when they are released. Even though I game more casually now, it's only because I am in a good guild in a game I play that I don't have so much time to be a proper gamer anymore.

Target sold the last copy of the double pack during release day of SV but they were kind enough to give us both copies under the same price.

And this just arrived today, bought on Target online for $29.

Double pack is just same price if you buy both games, the pre order figure bonus is nice

Another DSi lmao. Bought it for only $25 CAD as it had a "bad touch screen". I thought I could replace the screen, but there was no need. The previous owner just didn't know how to calibrate the touch screen. Nice considering how DSis are usually going for $100-120 CAD in my area.

I forgot to take a photo of it by itself, but it's the DSi standing in front of the game cases. It's the only obviously unhacked one.

I don't know why, but last week it cost 3 times what cost today, so start to buying on the web, then on checkout the old price was displayed, then I call by phone and they had to make a "special" bill for me, seconds later the web was updated :D and now cost the same what cost last week.
:rofl2:


Background: here there is a law in which if a item have different price at cash register and the one published on any media or on the shelf you only have to pay the lesser of the two.

Finally decided I should get a PSP Go, and then also decided I should get the cable so I can use it on my TVs as well.

So far I can say having double the RAM is quite nice, and the screen is a huge step up in picture quality from my fat launch PSP.
I love my psp go. It's such a awesome version of the psp.
