Fate hp games unlock code

My PC is currently very outdated (it turns 9 this year), and I want to upgrade my PC, and I currently have this list (constantly updated as AliExpress prices change), and I want a cheap, used $200-$300 GPU to go with. I'm thinking used RTX 3070 or RX 6700XT. My mom however, wants to get the 7700x Microcenter bundle. At the price point of $400-$500, which would be better? I currently have a GTX 960, an ATX case, and an EVGA 650 watt PSU, which one should I go for? I will be doing mostly gaming (1080p 144hz), and a bit of coding (maybe I keep putting off learning C++ (I first started in like December lol)). Thanks in advance!

So guys this is a mechanic I half modified from 4e’s “minions” in my 5e games. I call it “Wound Thresholds” now this is something I use for weaker enemies like minions that you fight large groups of.
Basically a wound threshold is the number of solid hits a creature can take (either attacks or full damage spells, anything that does half damage on a successful save doesn’t count towards the threshold.) so let’s say you have a generic guy he has 20 HP and to keep my combats fast paced I give him a wound threshold of 2. He will go down on two solid hits or 20 HP, whatever happens first.
The advantages of this is that it makes a lot of combat that I do a lot quicker and also crunchier since enemies are now even more likely to drop from solid hits instead of glancing blows which aren’t as exciting.

Today for the first time in my life I beat mission 6 and Crimson Squadron without as much pressure and stress as my previous attempts.
In my previous attempts, I always give 100% focus and "locked in" in order to bomb and shoot the Cordium tanks and other ground targets with minimal Missile usage, and to not get hit by a missile, I do this in order to save missiles and keep enough HP to fight Crimson Squadron.
This really gave me a lot of pressure and stress that everytime I played mission 6 I need took a break for a while (mission 7 might be even more stresfull).
When I finally get to fight with Crimson Squadron, I need use everything I had in order to defeat them, I always bring the fight to 10,000 altitude since lower means a death sentence.
But for unknown reason, I feel like I kind of excelled at this mission, it feels like the skills suddenly came to me. I can now do maneuvers more easily than before. I can do a 360 maneuvers in highspeed repeatedly. I can now hit and kill targets more often with my guns in high speed or in a merge. I can now use flare more effectively because I remember to watch the radar and have the feeling how close the missiles is to my jet.
When the moment finally came to fight Crimson Squadron, I just do the same as usual, charge straight ahead, deliver my first two missiles and then bait them to fight me at 10.000 altitude.
But something feels different this time, I just knew when to fire my missiles and gun, when to speed up and slow down, somehow my missiles can hit them easily more than before, it surprises me how fast this fights ends. Usually it feels like an eternity when fighting them, now it just a few minutes I manage to shot one of them down.
It feels like your body just naturally locked in, just knew what to do without thinking much, feels like a hightened Stance of awarenesses.
Is it because of the game's hidden automated lowering of difficulty because of the amount of restart I had in this mission or is this just skills that given from me because of my many repetition of playing this mission? I don't know.
What did you guys think about this?

So I wanted to go on Computing Sciense Specialization in Software Practice program and I know there's a lot of math. I was into video games since childhood and I know it's not really related to coding but I think I would enjoy working on some indie games and being in related field. My math is not bad but not good either. I just feel that if I'll find a good job in this field I could immigrate anywhere I want because it's relatively easy to find a remote job as a coder and it's the biggest factor in a job I would want to pursue. I have this summer to try to learn some math and coding but I don't think this will be enough to be on the same level with other students. I believe this is the best job option for me and I just wanted to ask you how bad is my university experience is going to be for me and is it even worth it?

Jifri, 1st 1H Sword Duelist to live to 11 (cross your fingers)
Sad that it didn't proc extra pure damage, but nice extra armor pen along with FAT savings.
So, most of the time I would take a guy who I get like this early and make him into an early game tank. This run, I had that covered already, but needed some bros to DPS and quasi front line for me. I decided to go with a 1H sword duelist, which usually die young the rare times I have attempted the build. As you can see, he has high natural INI and RES, very good FAT, awesome MDEF, and mediocre MATK. With better MATK, this is a big hammer user, mace + qatal bro, cleaver duelist... a high end DPSer. But with 80 MATK at 11 with Gifted? I felt like he needed the accuracy bonus of a sword.
I like what I've done for the most part... I didn't feel like investing in HP was worth it as the FAT rolls were reliable, MDEF were all good, and he needed every MATK roll to DPS effectively. He's quite hard to hit early in a fight with Dodge, obviously. I have a kind of crazy idea to finish off the build, which is to give him Quick Hands and Berserk. I have a famed Goblin pike that I think would be amazing on him with Quick Hands as a 2nd weapon. With Berserk, he can swing his sword twice, and as long as he gets a kill, he has enough to swap to the pike to hit someone 2 tiles away. Also, I like the idea that it works well with Pathfinder as it gives him access to hit someone several tiles away and over a frontliner. I just feel it would make him a much more versatile Bro in a fight.
Anyway, let me know what you think of the idea. How would you finish off this build? Is there anything you would change about what I did?
Thanks for the tips!

Just came back to the game, i lost my account from S46 💀 but I guess i’m playing again anyways. Can anyone drop working codes if there are any? Thanks

Idc what anybody says about how viable holy damage is in this game, I am a die-hard golden order fan. First playthrough was a golden order fundamentalist with crucible armor and cipher pata > coded sword > golden order greatsword as I obtained them, and got the Perfect Order ending. NG+ I try to make a cleanrot knight larp build (at least their ashes of war did holy damage), but like around altus plateau I just HAD to go back to holy and made a pure holy GO caster healer. I literally cannot escape the golden order, they have me by their clutches. It's like the Skyrim stealth archer for me. All the bright golden lights just look so fucking cool. The golden order greatsword is PEAK design. Idc if 80% of the game has 20%+ resistance to holy, I'll use it on every boss except the 80%+ resistance ones (where sadly for my own sanity I am forced to use blasphemous blade). It just looks fucking COOL! I hate that GO spells have an asinine int requirement, but whatever, it's still worth it for the holy larp. I like my golden discs and elden stars! Besides, everything having 20-40% holy resistance isn't that bad if you stack a bunch of holy damage stuff. I use the gold mask, 2 GO seals (since the boost stacks), sacred scorpion charm and flock's canvas talisman. Does decent damage even against 40% resist. Is there anyone else who feels similar? I've only ever seen one other GO bro in my playthroughs. Any other ideas for another holy-themed build for my 3rd run?

ACNH is my first Animal Crossing game, and I absolutely love it! My husband got me a Nintendo online subscription for Mother's Day, and besides finding design codes, I'm not really sure what else to do. I don't know who to play with online so I haven't been to a dream address or anything, but I am curious how it all works. Do you need permission to visit dream addresses?
I would be very appreciative if someone could take the time to explain it to me. Thanks in advance!

I just got back gaming today and I was met by an overwhelming number of dragons. My habitats and kindergarten are full and I don't know what to do with them. Should I just sell Common Dragons instead and make room for my growing amount of Legendary Dragons? But I wouldn’t want to sell my dragons be ause some of them have sentimental value to me from when I was a kid. I tried buying an island and it cost me 25 gems. Those 25 gems only unlocked the entrance of that island though so I bought adjacent lots amounting to 1.2mil each. Is there any other way to contain my growing amount of dragons?

So, you said Lord Nicholas has no personality, which is true lol, but since I'm the devil's advocate, I took that as a challenge. Make yourself comfortable for a long read. Have some popcorn.
Why is this guy more of a tragic character, rather than a villain? And how does a man lose identity, and becomes a monster through desperation? I'll answer this for you below.
• Throughout Plague Tale Innocence, there are various signs that although he is personally close to Vitalis (no use of titles or formalities when speaking to each other) he is the execution, and not the mastermind behind the plans. For example, when Hugo's Macula was to be tested, he urged Vitalis on to put an end to the plague already, they are not here to play games.
• In the very same chapter, we get a little insight on what he believes and thinks about the conflict between the Inquisition and the De Runes. He doesn't understand why Beatrice De Rune resists their persuasion for information regarding the Macula, since their goals are shared -> ending the Plague. Ultimately, he blindly believes Vitalis wants to control the Plague to save them. And he does anything, ANYTHING to make that happen.
Commit genocide against peasants, and in the end, even go as far as killing Hugo.
Now, let's take a little turn to make a background check for this guy. Or at least what is hinted, and what can be assumed with intuition and theories.
• Like I mentioned before, him and Vitalis are personally close, and in the preultimate chapter of Plague Tale: Innocence, after his death, guards talk about him in the city. They are confused why Vitalis hasn't sent anyone for his search (I'll get to that one later), since he was his Protégé. This alone in itself wouldn't mean anything, but right after that a guard added "Maybe he found himself another Protégé" regarding Hugo of course.
Since this game is about innocence and children, it's almost safe to assume that Nicholas likely got taken under Vitalis' wings just as Hugo was now in the present. That would explain why they are close, and why Nicholas blindly trusts his master. Another dialogue backs this up, between the Arch Bishop and Vitalis. "Puppets like you will kneel and beg me to save them." and look who appears and kneels right there and then? Lord Nicholas. This is my theory, I can back it up but it isn't 100% surely true of course. Take it with a pinch of salt please.
• Now, time to get to why Vitalis didn't send anyone after Nicholas' disappearance... We saw nothing of the two months Hugo spent in the Bastion, but based on the Cathedral's state, it's safe to assume things didn't go that well with controlling the Macula. The plan was to get Hugo through the threshold finally, so that the Conjuration can begin. (Note to self: another essay later about that one). Although they tried to push Hugo through with hurting his mother, it didn't work. Because of this, Vitalis tasked Nicholas with taking Hugo to his sister, to end her life. This is simple, but it doesn't stop here.
In the chapter Blood Ties (where we control Hugo), we already meet an impatient Nicholas who wants to put an end to the Plague. Not only that, but let me get to one crucial sentence told by Vitalis. "Nicholas... You cannot understand." This hints at the disagreements between the two, and that Nicholas is not indulged in how this should be done. Nicholas tries to help Vitalis up, but he rejects the help too. It's quite symbolic for the one-sided trust between the two. Due to this growing mistrust, and how Vitalis didn't expect Nicholas to come back after his mission later on, to me it seems like Vitalis cut the ties and sent him exactly to his death to get rid of him.
• Vitalis' plan was never to get rid of Hugo once they pass the threshold ("I have a lot to teach the Carrier, and his friends."), and knew well, that Nicholas has no chance against Hugo and Amicia with the rats alongside them. He sent the man who trusted him the most to his death, and with that also chose his ultimate protégé - Hugo. It's also likely that Nicholas' mistrust grew because his position in the hierarchy was compromised, since it's likely Vitalis got obsessed with Hugo, and Nicholas almost realized he is played with. There is also the idea, that Vitalis sent him away to actually save him from the white rats he meant to send on the crowd anyway. Anyway, Vitalis is for another essay...
• The betrayed, the sacrificed. Who is he? There is absolutely little we know of him, except for his title and occupation. What always speaks in Plague Tale: Innocence though, is the design. I mean look at that drip- sorry.. In "A Making of Plague Tale: Innocence" the creative developers mention the importance of faces, and overall pure, intuitive impressions we get of our characters.
• There is only one character whose face we never see, and that is Nicholas. That doesn't only play as a psychological trick to make him more terrifying, but also hints at certain points. First of all, his robes are Dominican. This is historically fitting (although there were no dominican knights) since Dominicans were those entrusted by the Church to handle trials against heresy and begin inquisitions. This also hints that he is very religious and dedicated to serving the (assumed) good. I know, no way. Let's not forget about how faded out it is, or bloody. In NO way he is a good guy, but a tragic believer? Likely. Under the robes is the armour, which is hit all around. It's no news we talk about a very experienced and efficient knight who also happens to be serving Vitalis (NOT the Church! Explained in another essay, chill.). Knights start their training at 7, and only nobles are in for the job, obviously. I made the connection, that since he likely knows Vitalis from his childhood, and his training also began when he was 7 years old, and his name was Nicholas...
Side note: In medieval times, children were named after Saints to inwoke their blessing, in this case, among many things, protecting children.
It's likely that he himself, just like those he hunts, was an orphan, perhaps even a sinner, who had to be saved by none else, than Vitalis. Give it a thought, maybe he was a lost little boy like Hugo, whose innocence was stolen way too early. With how Plague Tale likes to play with irony and parallels between characters, I don't see this as unlikely.
• All in all, he is what his occupation is, and nothing human. He is the machine that serves. The cross, the judgement. We cannot see his face, because he has no identity except what Vitalis gave him. His role, his title, his mission (perhaps even name). As it can be seen, Hugo too, was dressed in robes showing the Inquisition's sign, like a mark of ownership over him.
• From the very start of the story, he was the representative of that time's barbaric cruelty, unforgiving, misplaced judgement. And as though from the children's perspective he was a monster from the very beginning, how did it go down? As I said before, he has no identity except his committment, and through that his morals, ambitions are shown. At the very start, they ambushed the De Rune estate, and we CANNOT know, if the violance was planned beforehand or it came due to Robert's resistance.
People were taken hostage for questioning, the goal was to capture Hugo, the Carrier, and Beatrice, the only one who can help them understand the plague's origins. It was bloody, but after this chapter, you can hear guards clearly say "capture children" and not just Hugo. Now, unbelivably, I don't think he wanted Amicia bad at the start. They confront each other in the English camp for the second time (where he paid a ransom for both of them), where he tries to negotiate with her to give them Hugo and stop running. Later his methods change, telling the plain truth that there is nowehere for her to go out there (These methods of convincing show a lot of personality and insight especially in the boss fight).
Later on, it's mentioned Vitalis is going hard on him but "he is used to it". Again, their shared history is hinted. The hunt for Hugo is fruitless still, and the plague is spreading day-by-day.
Next we hear from him, is in the chapter where we visit the city with Amicia. Or rather, that he is not exactly participating in the mission killing the sick. Since him and Vitalis disagree with methods of solving the Plague, and he is occupied with catching Hugo, there is a possibility this order of slaughter was carried out without his consent. Though, this is a high take and it would be totally in character to do such a task in the means of self-preservation.
Amicia's visions of him from Penance is not reliable, but at the very same time she clearly dreamed what happened and it's likely she mixed reality with hallucinations from exhaust. If, the hallucinations were true, that means Hugo did hear Amicia, but Nicholas directly diverted his attention from her and led him away.
It's hard to speculate if he did this to let nature do its work, or to actually show mercy, which is equally possible, since it was clear from the beginning that even though she killed his men, he knew she is simply running and kills as a means to survive.
Now, as I explained earlier, many things go down when Hugo resides in the Bastion, and we can only guess what that causes. I mentioned Nicholas' growing distrust, now let me introduce you to the psychological denial he experiences during the boss fight, along with his reflections pointing at the children. The man, becoming the monster. The fire (another essay since fire in Plague Tale is symbolic) causing him to destroy himself.
In the chapter Remembrance he goes to the Château d'Ombrage along Hugo, to ensure the boy passes the threshold with killing his sister, with this enabling Vitalis to pass as well. At first, Nicholas is quite calm and confident, sending Hugo to kill her "Go, and do what has to be done.". Interestingly, despite this, he still has his sword prepared, which shows he still doesn't trust Hugo. Later on, he knocks Arthur out, but doesn't kill him senselessly, despite the fiasco at the English camp. He takes Amicia to Hugo, and now threatens him to kill her, or else he kills his mother in front of him. After that, he tells him, if Hugo does as he tells him so, maybe Vitalis keeps him by his side.
This could hint that only by accomplishments such as this, and proving devotion, can one remain important in Vitalis' eyes. Also, that maybe, Nicholas had to go through something similar, "She means nothing to you now".
Doubts and frantic impatience take hold, which ultimately lead him to take matters into his own hands. He decides to kill her, himself. As he pushes Hugo away, she calls him a bastard, which he then turns back at her, to question her morality and self-righteousness. She betrayed him, that is why he gave himself up. It can be perhaps far-fetched, but this also can count as self-reflection already. Betrayal -> causing giving up, which happens later to him too.
After Arthur "takes care of him" (not exactly...) and the siblings reunite, Nicholas wakes up and this time, immediately kills Arthur. The death is not just a shock value as many believe, it also shows the already progressing monster stepping forth, and losing humanity entirely.
The boss fight has three phases. His methods at provoking the children, and self-reflect change and become way more intense with time.
In the first phase, he tries to separate them and tells Amicia that he knows it must be difficult to live in the Carrier's shadow. Also, that they are terrified. He is poking at her most vulnerable place, their biggest fear, which's "face" is ultimately him. Also, reminding Amicia of her biggest desire, that is to be acknowledged by her parents. Especially this can count as self-reflective, since as I said earlier Nicholas likely noticed Hugo is slowly replacing him in Vitalis' eyes. The wish to excell, and be acknowledged for the devotion is a deep scar this character could carry. He also reminds them of how their father died, to remind them of honour, which Nicholas obviously has a twisted sense of.
In the second phase, his first voice line shows surprise and fear, and anger in response to those feelings. He is more reckless and aggressive too. Here, again, he manipulatively reminds them how little they can do, and threatens them. This is both calculated and instinctual, since he says such things to bring the children out of their hiding places, but at the very same time also because he is slowly losing himself. There are also lines which can be reflective to his beliefs and assumptions based on himself, such as: "Your sister won't be able to save you child.... You are alone." There were already connections made between how Vitalis saved him, and if one puts it all together, this line shows how he doesn't believe in the siblings' bond, because his own bond with Vitalis broke, and Nicholas is (alike to Hugo) alone. Or there is also the line "What do you think you can do? You are nothing. [...]" I wanted to highlight this line because Plague Tale (among many other things) is about the helplessness one faces trying to protect loved ones, and/or trying to rewrite their fates. The fact that Nicholas dehumanizes them entirely, shows he knows the fact one, them or him, cannot change the course that has been set, but he is still in denial trying to fight it (a lot like Amicia in Requiem, by the way. Also, fire (this is why that needs another essay....).
In the third phase, he becomes uncharacteristically reckless and desperate, where he succumbs to the wrath and, his fate. "Come to me, come into my arms my dear children." His sanity decreases and he knows death is unavoidable. The question left is whenever he can bring them down with himself or fails. And failure, is unacceptable. He is better dead, than failed. "I will teach you the meaning of sacrifice" this line shows that likely, he accepted his last quest knowing well he is going to die probably. That he rather burns himself, bring hell, than letting go. He keeps shouting the motto of his order, because that is the only thing that he clings to. It's pathetic and forced, inhumane. "[...] We'll die together" <-> "I will boil your blood until it spurts from your eyes", "You are going to pay, [...]" by this time, he keeps switching tactics at approaching and luring them out, frantic and monstrous. His words mean nothing by this time and desperation takes hold. What line of him is the purest, rawest, and most honest, between all the threads and claims, self-convincing attempts to maintain devoted is this: "The pain... To feel oneself alive... And deliver death." This line might seem like one among the many terrible threats, but it in fact shows his deepest belief. That is, of pain and life. Sacrifice and death. That those who live, have to kill, and that is what it means to exist in this world.
• In Plague Tale Innocence and Requiem, we see Amicia's development into a murderer who follows similarly blind committments.
She ultimately becomes, what she condemned, and what caused her great misery. What, in the end, she herself becomes if Hugo doesn't lead her on the right path. A monster.
So, to sum it all up, Lord Nicholas represents the human being of that time, whose identity is what he serves, and nothing else.
It makes one selfless, righteous, but at what cost? Violence spreads from one person to another, while everyone tries to save what is precious to them. Hope this helped seeing him as more human and with more personality. Cheers. A few more points I couldn't exactly integrate are the following:
• A few things showing the underlying morality and plain intentions: at first he tried to negotiate with both Robert, Amicia, and Beatrice as well. He condones stealing entirely. He doesn't kill Arthur at first.
• In the concept art he is left handed. In Middle Ages, left handed people were considered sinful, since it was the "devil's hand". This added with the self-punishing- self-destructive-Catholic mindset, added with his devotion, signs that he is penitent, and does what he should for a greater good, a salvation, and carries the burden of "sacrifice".

I'd like to make sure I have the capability to work on it locally, so being able to run light video editing and cad software (even if slow) is a useful benchmark, as well as light coding (mostly python in anaconda)

ACNH is my first Animal Crossing game, and I absolutely love it! My husband got me a Nintendo online subscription for Mother's Day, and besides finding design codes, I'm not really sure what else to do. I don't know who to play with online so I haven't been to a dream address or anything, but I am curious how it all works. Do you need permission to visit dream addresses?
I would be very appreciative if someone could take the time to explain it to me. Thanks in advance!

It's good. I've always had a soft spot for RPGs with big casts of quirky characters, it's why I like Fire Emblem and Trails so much. This certainly scratches that itch, I liked a lot of the designs of the cast and they were mostly fun, or failing that inoffensively forgettable. I beat this game far faster than I usually beat games of this scale, likely because there was always something to work towards, always a character to unlock. Having a tangible goal right in front of you, or something to look forward to like a new party member really did wonders for the addiction factor of this game.
Combat was pretty decent, usual fare. I greatly appreciated that those who are underleveled caught up quick, I was able to give just about every battle party member a try at one point or another and while some are certainly better than others only 1 or 2 felt outright useless. Autobattle came in handy but I really, really wish they didn't use up the battle items at the first opportunity, it was just wasteful honestly.
I liked the story as well, the three protagonists are all cool but my favorite character was probably Perrielle, she more or less felt like the real hero of the story, and I liked her relationship with Nowa. The plot was certainly standard but that's hardly a crime. Seign turned good maybe a bit too quickly, almost felt like they halfheartedly dangled a bit of the Jowy drama in front of us before giving up on that and just having him and his crew join the good guys without much friction involved. Marisa felt a biiit out of place I'll admit, like the Runebarrows really only serve as sidequest-y dungeons rather than the crux of the plot so her role as their protector didn't really serve the greater goal of defeating Dux Aldric. That said I liked her character, and her posse of friends for the most part. Nowa is fine, a standard JRPG hero but he has some fun quirks, I especially like how into Beigoma he got. Character wise, that's a fun trait, I like how he's not afraid to get hammy. There are a lot of characters introduced near the end and a few bizarre moments but nothing outright bad in my opinion. Maybe a bit nonsensical but this is a JRPG we're talking about.
Mini games kinda sucked lol. If I didn't have to do basically the whole Beigoma sidequest to unlock all the characters I never would have bothered. Same with the cooking, to be honest, mashing A and guesswork make up the crux of their gameplay mechanics. Sand racing was tolerable, if only because I only did it twice, once for the plot, the other to unlock Scarlet. I honestly didn't even do the Egg foot Races or the Plays and I don't feel like I'm missing much. The War Battles were an acceptable interlude but hardly riveting.
I would really like to see a sequel to this game. I think it's flawed but enjoyable and that there are a lot of cracks to fill. Make Beigoma more fun, would probably have to revamp it entirely. Make cooking a bit more of a challenge (Pro tip just make the Omlet the first meal and the Coconut water the last, find any judge's favorite for the middle. Literally worked every time). Balance out the party, be a bit more ambitious with the storytelling. What I see here is a game like the First Suikoden that is just begging for the Suikoden 2 to come out and cement itself as an all time classic.
For now, game's good. Would recommend for fans of the genre

I loved this game for the first week it was out but it’s become kinda boring and more like a grind. I really hope supercell changes something before global launch. There are many glaring holes that need fixed. Things like consumables, lack of skill, and no incentive to pvp. The main issue is there needs to be some kind of skill. I love brawl stars. I understand that squad busters isn’t brawl stars but what hooked me into brawl stars was the collection aspect of brawlers and the skill it takes to be good. Squad Busters has a good character collection system (kinda. It’s good to upgrade not to unlock) but it lacks skill that will keep long term players engaged. I really wish supercell would stop and think before they launch it globally.

Okay I'm so sorry for how rushed this is going to be but I've been looking for this website for YEARS. It was a website with a bunch of user-submitted games, level customization, and I think there were cute little customizable cubes or just squares with maybe things you can unlock? There was also a ranking system (I think), daily rewards, etc.

** This is a brand new build. **

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• Gaming. I don't play very intensive games as my current PC can't really handle them. LoL, Hearthstone, Rocket League, Phasmophobia and Chess? However, with a stronger pc I want to be able to run games such as the infamous Cyberpunk 2077 on a good (QHD+)quality with 120+fps. Aside from gaming, I need the build to have a strong CPU (Probably a Ryzen 7 7800X3D) for handling CPU-based Chess engines like Stockfish. I also need the build to have a strong GPU for handling GPU-based Chess engines like Leela. The build should also be able to handle AI image creation tools such as Stable Diffusion, although this is not a priority over the gaming and chess needs. I will be handling p2p torrents for things like seeding public Linux ISO's on a Bittorrent client, so ample storage size and speed are a pro. Finally, the build's monitor and hardware should be able to support an external blu-ray player (and perhaps games) at 4K quality.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• €3500 - €4000 VAT included. If my needs are met without reaching this amount, then obviously I'm already happy. Preferred range €2000-€3000.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• A.S.A.P.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

• Almost everything that a desktop gaming PC needs, as I currently have an old laptop with a shitty mouse. Included in the budget are; Tower, Monitor, Motherboard, CPU/GPU/Case cooling, Storage cards, Memory cards and PSU.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• The Netherlands, right in the middle of the country. (It's a small country so I don't think it really affects that much. If it does, let me know) * ABSOLUTELY NO AMAZON PURCHASES * Reliable local vendors include Megekko, Alternate and Azerty.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• An older Razer Kraken headset which I'm not quite satisfied with. Using the headphone jack results in bad mic quality and worse audio than when using the headset as intended. (putting in an USB and turning on the headset, resulting in a few hours of use before it's empty) If you guys have recommendations, let me know. I'm a big fan of anything that I don't need to charge A.K.A. wired goodies. I will also be bringing a Razer Ornata mechanical keyboard. Although I'm satisfied with the keyboard, I can't bring myself to fully use it's functions (custom RGB stuff), since I've come to dislike Razer's software and it's impact on performance. Maybe if the new pc can actually handle processes running in the background my view on this will change. I won't be bringing anything else.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• Eventually yes. my current laptop doesn't even allow overclocking (thanks HP) but I do want the option to overclock the CPU and GPU to unlock their full potential when in a few years time I want a performance boost. Or just do it now, I haven't decided yet. But I do want the option to do it!

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• For Stockfish, I want at least AVX-512 support on the CPU. I'm pretty tech illiterate though, so if it means that's out of budget, please tell me. For leela, I want CUDA support. I think that means a Nvidia GPU, preferably 4070 or highebetter. I want at least 2 TB storage but preferably more like 4 TB. Prioritize storage amount over speed. I'm used to ancient HDD speeds so I don't necessarily need gen5 SSDs to already feel a huge improvement. Please no HDDs. I want the build to be quiet, although I'm used to a lot of noise. (laptop fans work overtime, all the time) The tower can be any size to fit the build, although I'd prefer the build not to include RTX 4090, since I think those would automatically increase case size.

What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.

• I want support for high speed WiFi. I am really illiterate when it comes to wifi/ethernet speeds, but I trust you guys can help me out. I do want to set up fibre + ethernet in the future(I think 10GB LAN Ethernet), but for now I'm stuck with Wifi 6 due to no ethernet cables in walls.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• Go wild! But do try to keep away from excessive RGB. Actually, I do prefer on having as little RGB as possible, unless as aforementioned it limits options.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• It is not included in the budget. But I will be getting Windows 11 Pro.

Extra info or particulars:

• Please no RTX 4090 unless it still fits the budget and the tower. if it means having a bigger tower I would rather have a smaller tower and no RTX 4090.
  
• Thank you for reading! I'm open for any questions. Personally I have been compiling and discarding part lists for the past few weeks as I keep stumbling upon more information and getting distracted. I hope you guys can help me make a decision after procrastinating for weeks and weeks. Cya
  

The pc needs to have great airflow and have no rgb. I want to learn to code and play some games that I like. There are computer store not too far away. 1440hz infievo monitor currently hooked up to ps5. I do not want to be a console newb anymore. It would be cool if the build prioritized a quieter experience without sacrificing cooling. I’m very open to recommendations as I do not know much. Need your guys help building a pc budget is $1800
