Looking to build a modest gaming PC. I've been able to recently acquire some of these parts at a discount and total this is looking to cost me $900. All parts I can still return and look for other alternatives.

Notes:

• The PSU is refurbished, seemed like a great deal for $78 even. If I should avoid refub, which one do you recommend for this build?
• No clue on the motherboard. Seemed like a decent value.
• I might be able to save some money and go with a 5600x and MSI B550 pro combo. But I've read that the intel might be a better decision for long term support.
• Ram I have also no clue what is consider good and a good value.

CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor

MOBO: *

Is it normal to see weight differences between what an agent claims the package weighs (even after rehearsal shipping) and what the parcel company declares the weight as? I'm seeing a 15% difference in weight and that difference could've saved me money. The lower weight puts my package in a lower tier. Feeling like WeGoBuy intentionally scammed me out of some money here.

DHL lists the weight to 4 sig figs, so I feel like it the parcel company is pretty accurate. The 'actual paid' section hasn't updated either.

Also, I wish there was a way to see what archetypes are currently on the team without having to select one player card at a time. Highlighting the archetypes currently on the team in green text when you are in the philosophy selection menu would be a nice QOL feature if possible.

Just a few issues I’ve noticed with the latest build. I saw 60 just got pushed out but I didn’t see it mentioned in the notes.

I’m not being awarded achievements I have unlocked. Specifically the “Pipeline” achievement. I had players go 1, 2, and 4 but never received the achievement.

When playing a game, OT is still super buggy. It’s slightly better than in previous builds but the game will continue to run and sometimes it will skip and simulate what should be the next play.

Lastly, players stats will sometimes show as 0s for the season mid way through on their individual player page but I can tell it’s counting the stats as it’s being added to the career totals.

Also, I’ve noticed

• Total budget and country of purchase:

~$1000, USA. Can go over, but only if its completely worth the upgrade.

• Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.

Best specifications for the money. I would like it to be as future proof as possible, but I absolutely hate the look of gaming computers.

• How important is weight and thinness to you?

Not very.

• Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.

Windows.

• Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

15.6 or smaller.

• **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/gam

Recently graduated with a BS in Chemistry with a premed concentration. Right before I graduated, I decided I wanted nothing to do with chemistry or medicine anymore. I’ve been trying to get an entry level position in something like data analytics but I’m struggling to even get responses.

I was recently accepted to a good MIS program with a full ride + a little extra. Will this help me land an entry level position or will I be wasting my time? Reddit seems to discourage MIS degrees for more technical jobs, but I’m not looking for something with heavy programming.
