Grish replied to studentl0an on [PC, Steam] Hogwarts Legacy $13.49, Hogwarts Legacy: Digital Deluxe Edition $14.99 @ Steam
There's a bit of hypocrisy going on here though right? It's always been standard and very common in the ozb comments section to inform…

No one in their right mind would pair the headline parts here with this junk mobo and PSU.

I paid $511 more for the XT, this is much better value.

No matter how much "Gaming" they add to the name, it ain't gonna do much for latency, that is largely out of anyone's control.

The Taichi can barely handle the stock 340w without a 100c hotspot (tested in 5c melb winter!), so you end up having to lower the PL to a…

$979 for XT is an excellent price, if you remove GST and convert to USD it's under the USD MSRP. Looks like they didn't have a lot of stock…

7060 doesn't always come with the optional wifi upgrade card, so you need to verify before buying, I would say $200 is a bit steep for one,…

How much you pay? Also does the screen hinge feel robust? I've seen a lot of ideapads with busted screens/ribbon cable issues etc.

Thanks, grabbing one from OW for Mum :) I figure any returns/warranty issues might be easier from OW than Amazon?

I actually agree with this, its not a balanced "base" build at all. B650 is passable (not necessarily this model, but in general B650 is…

When you say "comes with windows 11 pro", given its bare bones, I assume this means the MOBO is tied to a Win licence?

My XM3's are getting a little worn, is the XM5 worth it over the XM4? What's the main diff?

You're getting confused, the 5070 is 4090 performance, this must be even better!

Spot on, this is a terrible build with that pcie3.0 motherboard, the 8GB 9060xt is rendered unusable in so many scenarios.

Kind of unfair comparison, if you compare retail costs, this build is $1047 not $888. Even paying the full retail $129 extra for 16GB model…

It's a $500au GPU though, the card itself has plenty of capability/grunt (as evidenced by the 16GB model), but the 8GB VRAM causes it to…

Depends on the game, settings and your expectations for the money vs spending more for the 16GB. I would highly advise paying more for 16GB…
