    Sorry to be such a noob and coming back with these dumbass questions, but here we go again. I purchased this because my old SSD's are really too small to install BG3. From what I understand it should work in this no problem, but my question is thus: The Motherboard has two M.2 slots: M2_1...

    the 5600x is $159 in USD and 23000 yen which is almost the exact same price yeah. Amazon has its own warehouses etc in Japan so shipping is free with prime. Some stuff is considerably cheaper, like the mobo I got. I got a B550 Tomahawk which is $170 USD on Amazon US but only 17790 yen which is $119

    So with the Amazon sale I've been waiting for, the 5600x is not on sale, but the 5700x is. I looked at the specs, and frankly I'm not impressed with the 5700x. Am I missing something?

    It's a final fantasy game. It's still a JRPG at its core with a JRPG plot. It just has a MMO veneer on top.

    You probably do need to have finished the MSQ up to the beginning of Heavensward. It sounds like you are overlevelled for the part of the MSQ you are in. You are at a famously boring part of the game. They went back and trimmed it quite extensively, but it IS still boring. This is the biggest...

    Stop the MSQ for a bit and do other stuff. At level 50 you have access to Palace of the Dead, Primal Extremes, Coils of Bahamut, a bunch of 'Hard' Dungeons, PVP, Hildibrand, Zodiac Relics and Tribal Quests just off the top of my head. Do that content until you feel like you're ready to do more...

    They had a 30% discount on the mobo so kinda made the decision for me. Was able to pick it up for $120. Gonna wait for Amazon Prime day to see if I can get a discount on the Processor and Ram as well.

    Yes it's true Japan prefers things much less sweeter. I brought back Caramello Koalas from Australia and everyone hated them, said they were too sweet. McDonalds still does things right though.

    I did say I had everything else covered already! I'm pretty sure my 2003 power supply could have handled the new mobo honestly. I lucked out with the parts I've picked over time. That and the 3570k lasted me forever.

    Yeah shrinkflation is hitting pretty hard - especially hard since Japan wages are stagnant and there's no such thing as a cost of living adjustment here. Food prices in particular are up bigly. 30-50% for a lot of things. Packages have gotten smaller too. The high American $ is what is causing...

    I just bought a new 650 watt power supply last year. Should be fine, especially since the 5600x stuff came out in 2020. Before that I had a thermaltake 750 watt toughpower that I used from 2003 to 2021.Thing lasted a lifetime. I checked the power draw for the new components and it's only like...

    Comes down to - I can do the 5600x now, but I'd have to wait a bit for the 7600x. 7600x + ram + mobo is roughly double the price here in Japan than the 5600 and that's not including the cooler you'd need. There's steep discounts right now on the 5000 stuff. You're right though, once I'm set up...

    I mostly play FF14 and older games. FF14 is getting a graphical upgrade soon and I didn't like that Cyberpunk became unplayable for me with its latest expansion hence the upgrade. I'm in Japan so I only have access to big box and Amazon. 11 years ago an upgrade would set you back $1000 or more...

    I'm a cheap, poor, broke bitch, and I'm finally upgrading from my 3570k which has been serving me like a champ for a decade. I had my eye on a 5600X, and had pretty much made up my mind, but then looking at the i3 13100F made me second guess myself. Better to go with the slightly more...

    Find the name of the logograms you need using Eureka Tracker most of them are from combining 2+ other Logograms so you will need to find which items those Logograms can be discovered from. Either buy those on the AH, or google search where they drops and go farm that. Then combine them. The...

    Start with the Antiquated weapon you got for your level 70 job quest, upgrade it to a Base weapon at Gerolt for 100 Protean Crystals. Then upgrade it for another 400 Protean Crystals. then upgrade it for ANOTHER 800 Protean crystals. Then finally upgrade it for 5 Pazuzu feathers. Note that you...

    Eureka Tracker is your friend as well Let's you track NM spawns, keep track of your Logograms, and has maps for quests and which mobs to grind to spawn NM's. I did a BIG push recently to finish every single relic up to Pyros and I'm taking a break from Eureka until I feel like grinding it...

    I tried them last night and I thought they were meh. Bland, not that crispy, and dry. I used tartare sauce and they were just ok. Very disappointing compared to their Shrimp burger which is amazing.

    Eureka also works in instances. You could join an instance, and be the only one in there, but that's just because everyone else is in the old instance. Over time the new one will fill up. There's generally a lot of people in Eureka all day every day apart from the very quiet hours.

    Eureka is still popping off, everything in there is still doable and plenty of groups and people to help you.

    Honestly the gameplay between Sage and Scholar is very, very similar. The only downside of sage to me personally is that it's aoe is PBOAE with no special effect (again the same as Sch). Otherwise it plays almost exactly the same as Scholar. Instead of pet healing, you have Kardia healing...

    The Shrimp Burger here looks like this and I have never seen a poop tube in the shrimp. I imagine they just take the same shrimp and grind it up. Can't really compare Japan to the other asian countries. Korea and Japan are miles ahead of the others when it comes to cleanliness.

    That's exactly what it is. A McNugget but shrimp instead. The Shrimp burgers they have here are S rank so I have high hopes.
