Thanks! I didn't know about that NPC near him (Ellie). I saw quite a few things for 1 silver, but no exp scrolls (assuming I am looking at the correct one)?

On the season server how much of the buff/enhancement stuff should I be saving? I had read some of the skill stuff should be saved, but I really have no clue on if these other minor enhancement things should be used immediately or banked. Any suggestions on a solid starting class for when this...

I would advise getting the upgrade to water cooling if you do get an alienware. The biggest complaint on their current systems seems to be CPU thermals with their cases, and it is only $40 for the upgrade. Deals on them have been popping up on slickdeals.net fairly often.

3090 for $3500 is the only one that is actually in stock for same day ship. It has been that way since I had started looking in early February. For custom they are stating an extra 2 weeks for 3070, and an extra 6 weeks for a 3080. If you go to their reddit it is all over the place for actual...

I was kind of in the same boat. I wanted to build my own, but any graphics card was so difficult to try to find it was looking like a full time job playing the lottery just to get one. I almost pulled the trigger on a Alienware, but after doing some research I found they use a lot of...

I'm not sure where you got that info from. Other than the power supply it is all name brand components. The 3080 system is a Lian Li case, Asus Rog Strix Z-490E Gaming Mobo, Asus TUF 3080, Cooler Master AIO water cooler, GSkill Ram, and WD NVME drive. I've had the ram with XMP enabled without...

Dell discounts and upgrades vary wildly depending on the agent you talk to. I've seen $500 swings in prices and even more in upgrade values on the same day with different agents. Their RTX cards are custom with 2 fans from what I've seen, but I also haven't seen any complaints about thermals...

Check out www.slickdeals.net for Playstation Plus deals. It has been under $30 for a year pretty regularly.

Just got one too. If you don't get it, try again as soon as the next drop happens (every 10 minutes). Was able to get one in the cart every time, but never got past the final stage until this last drop.

This doesn't seem like a bad deal given current 3080 availability. I almost pulled the trigger last time Dell had a 3080 deal, but ended up driving 3 hours to get the one from microcenter...

Nicehash seems to be the easiest way to get started. Just make sure you plug in your electric rates to get net profit. I've been doing it a few days with a 3080 at about $12 per day (running the miner 18ish hours per day). It could be higher but I went conservative on the fan speeds and power...

Thanks for the info on that one. I was hoping to pick up today, but may try to order that depending on how huge the 32" curved looks in store. 32" curved vs 27" flat is what I'm not sure on. For curved 32" the AOC seems pretty decent.

I'm looking at a few different monitors. Is 32" curved too big for FPS games? Opinions on curved in general? Looking at one of these, but open to suggestions (keeping it under $400)...

It looks like the 3060 is potentially going to launch at the end of the month selling at $200 over MSRP. This is bonkers. I'm seriously considering just pulling the trigger on a Microcenter built PC even though it is a 2 hour drive. i9-10900kf, RTX 3080, 32GB 3600mhz ram, 1tb m2 for $2,500. I'd...

Yes. Last month a 3070 where I am at would have hit about $250ish net going 24/7. Gaming time would obviously cut into that. Napkin math would put it at about $0.35 per hour.

I'm reading that if you do live chat you can still get the deal for $30 more. They actually "sold out" through people doing that with chat the last few days. I don't think anyone actually got the deal via the website. It looks like upgrading the cpu cooler to liquid for $50 is highly...

From what I'm seeing a 3070 would net about $200-250 a month right now? Seems worth it for little effort, and a big reason why I've looked at upping my budget.

Thanks for the info! Not really feasible unless I knew when/how often they come in stock. I'll have to do some digging to see how to get some notice.

I don't have a microcenter close, but I do have relatives/friends near one. I've been looking for a week and have not seen a single 3070/3080 in stock at the three I've been looking at.

Anyone have any guess at all as to when availability of the 3070/3080 will be increasing? Are we talking a month or two, or late summer? I posted in the desktop thread that I was originally looking to build a budget system, but now I'm leaning towards blowing up my budget and going with a 3070...

I may just blow up the budget and try to build/buy a 3070 or 3080 system and attempt some mining on the side to recoup some of the cost. Right now it looks worth it, but I haven't researched crypto mining enough to know if the current rates are sustainable. It is slim pickings for a 3070 or 3080...

Coupon wouldn't work when I went to look at it. I've resigned myself to waiting a month or two while attempting to build myself, or hoping a deal with ibuypower or similar comes out. I'm kind of conflicted between an amd or intel processor. This seems like a decent deal.. if only they had a...

Boy did I pick the wrong time to build a new budget PC for my kid (well not so much picked as it is his birthday coming up). I was hoping to build a system in the $600 range, but I can't even find a entry level video card in stock at a reasonable price. I'm open to any and all suggestions on a...

Gryph's burning witch build is actually pretty fun. I love Cyclone builds, and this one is Cyclone CoC VD. One of my previous favorite builds was his CwC VD using scold's, and this scales a lot better. Even with just the bare minimums to get it working it has been surprisingly strong.

Firestorm had a lot of potential, and despite the issues I did have a lot of fun with it. I actually prefer the gunplay and atmosphere a lot more than Warzone. They made a huge mistake by not making it FTP, and it was pretty ridiculous how early they abandoned support for it.

AMAX 45 rounds actually has more total magazine damage potential than the 60 on the kilo. It is significantly more at longer ranges now that they added the third range dropoff to the kilo in warzone. Obviously the kilo is more controllable at range, but the AMAX does hit harder per bullet and...

I don't even... https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/07/europe/denmark-john-dillermand-controversy-scli-intl/index.html

I took a long break from PC building, and things have changed a lot. To put it in perspective, I built my last PC when Diablo 3 came out. I ended up taking it out and overclocked my 2600k to 4.5, replaced a 460gt with a 5500xt video card, and added a 500gb SSD. When I asked here I was told it...

So Dark Aether camo bugged out for me (in a good way). I got it without completing SMGs, Tactical Rifles, and Sniper Rifles. I was kind of alternating between easy and hard categories and noticed the knife counted as a full complete and so did the special launcher. Something else along the way...

I've got storyline burnout. I like trying new things/builds, but I can only go through the storyline so many times before burning out. I really wish there was an alternative after going through it once per league.

Nuketown was fun until the SBMM kicked in. I was dropping a bunch of 50+ kill games, and even hit almost 90 one round while actually playing objectives and being aggressive. Now the lobbies are full of quick scoping campers that refuse to play objectives while trying to maintain their k/d. My...

My son wants to get into PC gaming, and I have a desktop I built a long time ago that I am hoping may be passable with some upgrades. It has a i7-2600k that I'm hoping will be ok with an overclock. Any suggestions on a budget video card and monitor? He is mainly just looking to play things like...

Bruen is pretty amazing with the ability to be setup pretty similar to a AR. Slightly lower movement and slower ADS compared to a fully ranged grau setup, but even less recoil and higher damage at all ranges. With the longest barrel it doesn't even need any recoil attachments other than a tac...

Not that I would use one myself, but here is one AHK that randomizes the flask order and just makes 4 of the flasks combine in one button press. In this example the number 2 triggers the flasks assigned to 3, 4, 5, 6 in a random order. You would want to change the flask assigned to 2 to 6. If...

It honestly didn't bother me. Here is a sample clear video from the guy I got the build from: Here is his 2 minute uber elder mbxtreme recently put out a MF variant:

Sire of Shards/gloomfang Cyclone with CWC Magma orb is actually pretty strong, and not too expensive. It's like a 1.5 screen cyclone, and it is pretty flexible as far as tailoring it for preference (I did assassin, but pathfinder and trickster are also good). I ran it at the end of last league...

Asmon's MC raid yesterday with the Ret paladin drama was fairly entertaining.

How is scourge arrow for clear/clunkiness vs Toxic Rain. I'm torn between SA Assassin and TR Trickster for league start. Freezing pulse totem also looks appealing, but I've done totems too many times to count as a league starter.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2514647/page/1 Impale and Slayer dps corrections are crafted on the custom gloves. If trying to compare just make sure to edit the two Slayer more percentages from the gloves when looking at berserker (cull and proximity). He has the cull listed as...

Eh, with soul tether Slayer can skip the leech and go for the 8% base crit and the cull node to go along with the melee range and ae radius. In POB if you manually add the "more" damage equivalent from the cull and the a few other things that POB doesn't calculate correctly berserker is about...
