What ya gonna do with your stimulus check?

I have been thinking about updating my card to the rx570. Have to wait and see if i can get it cheaper than Amazon...

 

[Wallaby Dan]

Celery, witch model of rx570 did you get seems a lot of MSI cards on ebay for sale. I am hoping this will work with my board and processor.

Mine's a Sapphire. Be sure your PSU has a power cable for it with a 8 pin plug.

 

[Wallaby Dan]

It does. Thinking about the MSI but found a asus model too. Also i am seeing a 8g and 4g models. Witch one do i want the 8g??

Mine's a 4 gig. seems to do fine.

So I checked the IRS site yesterday and it said they would deposit our stimulus check this coming Thursday (4/30). However, I checked my bank account this morning and the money has been deposited into our savings account already!

Same here but not available til 4-29.

 

[strollin]

No such restriction on ours. Guess it depends on the bank.

I want mine to get a new ssd and a gpu for this computer. And then i am working on a duel core athlon 64X2 6000+ cpu with a older board and 8 gigs of ram for my nephew. I put a 2 core in the old msi board i got from Celery and its just too slow for him. I have a gpu, (the one i am using right now) 8 gigs of i think its 800mhz, and newer motherboard. That should speed up his computer for now. He don't do much gaming but watches you-tube alot and facebook too. Anyway he gets a good computer, and so do i.Future new board and Cpu ram. thats later on. I am happy with what i have right now. Everything i have done to it makes it more useful and fast. I know its 8-10 year old stuff, but i have lots of fun with it. Best one i have made yet!! Later,Wd
