###Build Help/Ready: What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming mostly, will likely buy the HTC Vive Pro when it comes available. Will be doing some 3D printing and STL scanning for dentistry to play around with.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

Currently have dual screen 1080 non gaming monitors. Will likely upgrade to a higher end one, from what I understand most people suggest 1440 with a faster refresh rate. Would like to play games at 1080p - 1440 at a high frame rate and graphics quality.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Under 3000 dollars CAD would be nice.

Wife is ~22 weeks pregnant with our first kid. We're both healthcare professionals and she'll likely want to get back to work ~6 months after birth.

Our city is woefuly underserved for day cares so we are looking into the idea of hiring a nanny full time, maybe considering a live in TFWP setup. Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions?

Eventually we plan on having at least one more child and with the uncertainty of getting into a daycare that will accept a 6 month old we are getting a bit concerned. In addition the cost of daycare, if we even get one, is at least $750 and I suspect they may charge more for infants. In addition they are rigid with their hours. So I thin

Looking to replace my 08 Acura MDX elite w/ 300,000 kms on it. Sick of getting it serviced 3 hours away as it's starting to light up like a christmas tree every couple months.

I test drove the XC90 inscription and thought it was an amazing car (seriously that B&W stereo is stunning), but I'm 3 hours away from the nearest Volvo dealership. What's their reliability like?

The Lexus RX350 F sport was another solid choice for me, but has the same issue of the nearest dealership being 2+ hours away. I know Lexus has rock solid reliability so there's that going for it.

The nicest car available to my area, that I've test driven so far, is actually the Kia Sorento SXL. That being said I have

r/NovaScotia•

Hello r/NovaScotia, My wife and I are on our honeymoon in the maritimes and have been hanging out in Halifax for a few days enjoying ourselves. However we are soon off to Louisbourg and wanted to know which route you would recommend.

Google maps seems to recommend HWY 104 -> HWY 105 -> HWY 223 to Sydney then down to Louisbourg. Seems like you Squeeze between the two sections of Bras d'Or Lake.

Alternatively it appears I can go HWY 104 -> HWY 4 to Sydney then down to Louisbourg. Which takes us on the south shore of Bras d'Or Lake.

Anyway would love some insight on the more scenic route, or any suggestions for great stops for lunch things to see on our way there.

Afterwards we

r/skiing•

Hello,

I was recently skiing some demo skis and found the Q85's a good match for my beginner/intermediate self to grow into. Was going to pick up a 181cm Q85. I'm 6'2 and 220-30lbs.

Anyway I have some options for bindings:

  1. Rossi Axial 3 120
  2. Salomon STH 10
  3. Marker Squire 11

I know squat about bindings and would like some guidance. I have no intention of doing any intense back country stuff. Just chilling out on easy blacks, blues, and cruising greens with the wife before she gets tired.

Thoughts?

Hello,

About me: 6'2 220-230 Ski always on resorts mostly Big White and Sunshine. I enjoy blue runs, and am just starting to tackle some of the 'easier' blacks.

I've only ever rented skis before. Last year I bought a pair of boots Salomon Quest Access 80 at a local shop. The fitting experience was decent, but after seeing my Wife get some done at Dizzy's at Big White they were a whole nother level. She also got some custom orthotic built and she basically won't stop saying how wonderful they are. So I may have made a bit of a mistake there, that being said the boots are quite comfortable, especially relative to rental boots. Honestly she praises them so much I'm debating just selling mi

r/CalgaryFlames•

Hello,

Just wanted some tips on what's the best way to go about making this happen.

I'm looking at going to the Jan 13th game against the Devil's. What's the best seats at the rink to watch? I'd like to be center ice, but am unsure whether being in the lower bowl or the second level is better.

Any protips on getting to and from the game, hotels to stay at, or anything a non-local wouldn't think of?

Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello r/churningcanada

Quick question for you, what's the best business credit card available at the moment? Currently I have the RBC Avion as they conveniently combine to the same personal account.

Currently spending about 3k/month, but in a year or so that might ramp up to the 10-20k/month.

Thanks in advance.

So I'm doing some Tangerine Growth Balanced investments and noticed things are dipping closer to the 52 week low (12.49). It's at 12.83ish. The 52 week high was 13.85 just to get some reference points.

I am DCA at $100/week, however if I had some additional funds available and the TFSA contribution room would now be a good time to top things off? I understand the point of passive investing is that you don't worry about this, but would it not be prudent to top things off when they go down to boost eventual long term returns?

Alternatively I can pay down my Line of credit which is sitting at prime (2.7%)

My eventual plan is to do Questrade and treat my LoC as my bond aspect of the porfolio

I'm taking some education from down south and it costs about 10k over 6 months and is spread out evenly after a 1.5k deposit.

I will likely be paying with Credit Card for convenience. Do you have any tips for how to minimize the damage?

Would you recommend fast tracking the payments in order to avoid the CDN dollar slipping any further?

Thanks.

Just curious if there are any consequences to doing this? Prior to reading about index funds I had placed a few thousand dollars into an RBC mutual fund in a TFSA. I have now opened a Tangerine account TFSA for their balanced growth portfolio to make semi monthly contributions. Currently researching the ETF stuff and will eventually move on to that.

So my question is what is the best method to transfer my funds from RBC TFSA to my Tangerine TFSA? I just don't want to damage my contribution limit by doing something stupid.

Also, is it best to do a lump sum investment into your TFSA right at the beginning of the year to let the investment grow asap over the 12 months tax free? Or is it bette

r/hometheater•

Hello hometheater enthusiasts. I recently purchased a new home that has a home theater setup that I would like to take advantage of. It is prewired for a 5.1 configuration, but the previous owner is taking his system with him. My local options are quite limited as I am in a rural area, but Paradigm are the 'best' speakers I am able to demo. Sinclair and Bose is also available. As far as Receivers go there are Denon, Onkyo's, and Anthems to demo.

After a lot of research it seemed that for subwoofers many were recommending SVS, and now the Power Sounds Audio for the performance/dollar ratio.

I wanted to spend some money to ensure I don't have to upgrade for several years. I would be upset i
