Hello,

After checking this sub almost daily for the past 3 months I'm finally going to replace my 8 year old build. Budget is around 2000€ including monitor.
Use case is software development and gaming at medium to high settings, 1440p, with 90-144hz. Mostly singleplayer games.
The only thing I want to replace in the next 5 years is the graphics cards, that's why RAM and CPU are maybe a bit too much for my use case right now.
Already have a 1 TB HDD.
Buying from Austria/Germany.

Hey,

My cousin is renovating his 3 story house and already started running ethernet cable.
The CAT 7 cable is already run from the second story (where router and switch will be) through the walls and crimped to CAT 6a wall sockets. He used wiring type A.
His use case: some streaming, light gaming and web, 3-4 access points for mobile devices
 

As we are both very inexperienced I thought I'd ask for help:

1. CAT 7 cable are compatible with CAT 6a wall sockets, right? Is this also the case for plugs?
2. Wiring type A vs B makes no difference as long as you stay consistent, correct?
3. He read somewhere that a patch panel would be a good idea. I don't think it's necessary

Do Val'kyr Call and similar Class Order Hall advancements (which allow you to complete one WQ every 18hrs) work with the Companion App?

I already found out that you can place a work order for the required item via the app, but can you also use it (i.e. finish a WQ)?

Could be useful for profession/abandoned alts.

I will definitely try and be a "Lazy Bastard" and finish the game with max. 111 hand crafted items first. Made an early game dry run yesterday. Here are some tips for this achievement:

• Read this post from u/zane314 to see the minimum number of items that you have to handcraft
• Change crafting keybindings, so that you don't accidentally craft items manually out of habit. (I changed mine to ALT+Middle Mouse Button)
• Before your first assembler you can use the furnace as chest for coal, ore and stone mining

I really hope that most of the achievements work with peaceful mode on.

What are you going to do first

Hello,

since my current build (put together by a friend) is a little over 4 years old I've decided I need to upgrade my graphics card. You can see most of my build below.
My current graphics card is: POINT OF VIEW GeForce GTX570, TGT Ultra Charged (couldn't find this specific model on pcpp)

I want a decent card that will last me a few years. After a bit on research I decided on the MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G and I think it is compatible with my current setup.

I play mostly Dota 2, but I definitely will buy Rise of the Tomb Raider and XCOM 2 in early 2016 (and probably some random games in steam christmas sale).

Now to my questions:

1. Do you think I should buy it now or wait until

Can you somehow determine which ancients are next after respecing/rerolling? I would like to write a little program in which you paste your save data and choose which ancients you want and it outputs the minimal cost path for you to get all chosen ancients.

Or does something like this already exist?

I am currently on a deep run (I know it's ineffective, but sometimes you just want to see how high you can go) and I am wondering how do you determine what skills to use for the next boss? Currently I am just using 1-2-3 and if i don't make enough progress in the first 5 seconds I use energized super clicks.

Are there any better methods? Maybe even a calculator that tells you which skills you don't need for the next boss or if you need all of them.

I am creating a site that has a news page as well as a project page. Is it a valid option to just have two categories, choose the right one before submitting the post and then just filter the posts accordingly per page or is this a dirty solution? Will I run into any troubles doing this?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am new to wordpress and couldn't find anything related on google.

How long does it take per day to mine ores, pick herbs and set up work orders in your garrison? (After you have everything running and maxed)

Does it take longer than farming at the tillers?

Also follower missions are not 24h long right? So you would have to login more than once a day to keep your garrison at full capacity.

Has anyone tried SoO on PTR? How are the changes affecting the difficulty?

From the Patch Notes it would seem that it'd get easier with 6.0 (at least for me as a holy priest), but I can only guess.

So I recently started making glyphs and selling them on the AH. Since herbs are so cheap right know (around 20g a stack on my server) I thought it would be a good idea to mill a lot of herbs into ink of dreams and buy older inks with them from the ink vendor. My guess is that WoD herbs will be a lot more expensive at the start of the expansion. Also you will probably need the new ink to buy older ones from the vendor.

So by stockpiling now I'll increase my profit margin when WoD hits, at least that's the plan.

What are your thoughts about this?

So first it was changed to Imbues your weapon with the venom of a venomous serpent. Appearantly valve listened to some of our suggestions and now the text reads: Envenoms your veapon with the venom of a venomous viper Good work r/dota2 :D
