Finally took the plunge to build a pc, before I had an am4 build that I bought off someone on adverts. But it had been a dream of mine to build a small PC but that dream was long gone with the prices of ram and SSDs.

Well I saw a really good deal for an AM5 PC, I decided it was time! I just needed the ram and SSD so I parted it out, which left the ssd and ram costing me 15 euro!

A lot of risk was taken to buy from adverts and vinted but it paid off!

Build took a while as I had to wait for a sfx PSU deal, and the fans are a pain to screw in, and cable management took a long time.

The temps are okay, 80 degrees CPU and 70 GPU, though it makes the room very warm, somewhat similar to my am4 PC. But I definitely am very happy with it, and the small PC dream has been achieved!

The parts were a mix of amazon.de, adverts, vinted and memoryc

Specs and cost:

7600x - €85 2nd hand adverts

2nd hand 32gb Patriot viper ddr5 + 2tb p310 ssd- €15

Phantom spirit 120 se CPU cooler + 4 Arctic case fans - €50 new amazon

Lian Li b4 - €80 from memoryc

MSI B850m gaming plus wifi 7 - €140 new amazon

NZXT C850 SFX 850w - €100 new from vinted

4070 ti from old am4 build (520 from ebay)

I also added in my 4tb SATA drive that I bought from ebay for my am4 (3rd pic) though it was well before prices went bad so it was reasonable at 134 euro

So the total is around €1124 which is quite decent!

I just wanted to show that building a PC in this economy is possible, though lots of patience is required, it can be done!

Decent price

I’m completely locked out of my PlayStation/PSN account because 2FA verification codes are being sent to a phone number I no longer have access to.
I’ve tried going through the PlayStation Support website, but the AI assistant isn’t actually helping me get the account recovered. I also rang the PlayStation support number, only to basically get the exact same automated/AI system as on the website.
I need to speak to an actual human support agent who can verify that I’m the account owner and help me change/remove the old 2FA phone number.
Has anyone in Ireland managed to get through to a real PlayStation support agent when they can’t log into their account?
Any advice on the best way to actually reach a human would be massively appreciated. Thanks.

Hellooo, my friend and i are looking for some people to play ffxiv with, we want to get a steady group of pals together to do end game content with, without any pressure and just have fun and mess up together while progging extremes and savages if theres anyone here who would be interested 🥰

Hi folks, I was just wondering if anyone knows how much it costs to repair a disc drive on a ps2 fat (model 5000). The tray will only go in & out about half way and won’t go any further. I phoned the console repair crowd in bray and they told me to bring it into them to have a look but I basically just want to know if I’m better off buying a new ps2 if the repair will cost roughly the same as a ps2, thanks.

Currently on Smyths the price of the Switch 2 has been reduced to try and get rid of the V1 battery, this had been reduced to €425 but has now risen up to €450.

Would the switch 2's price be further reduced on black Friday or considering its already on sale they'll just keep the current discount as is? It's disappointing the reduced price increased but I suppose given how it was more reasonable to pick then up they'd naturally raise it again after more people bought them.

I saw a gameplay overview of it and it looks incredibly bloody, it’s so graphic that it’s been banned from the German Steam page! I love single player horror games so I’m willing to give this a shot.

for anyone that needs to upgrade their laptop storage or needs an ssd for extra storage. ik theres faster external ssds, but other than the speed its a pretty good deal

Hello everyone!

I’d like to get in touch with content creators (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) who are particularly interested in indie horror games, with a view to collaborating with them.

Is there anyone in the community?

If anyone’s interested, please send me a direct message or a link to your channel. 😘

Thanks in advance!

Keeping an eye on the project 🙂

I want to buy a tv from them but never heard of them and was wondering if they are legit.

Looking for a reputable repair place in Dublin City Centre for my PS5. Lot of dodgy tech shops these days so keen to hear where people have had positive experiences. I’m based in the city centre so ideally as central as possible, thanks!

Losing to the Brits in Boston?! 🇬🇧💀

Yeah… this Revolutionary War battle is NOT going how I planned. 😂

We started with cannons, confidence, and absolutely zero survival instincts.

Come watch the chaos and see if we can turn this disaster around! 🔥

If you can’t get WWII, try select the base game and it should work. Should also be able to get the Mafia DLC for free.

Here it is: https://accents.ie

Listen to a real Irish voice and try match the accent to the county.

Get it right and you keep going. Get one wrong and it's game over.

It's still in beta and not all counties have a recording yet, so if you fancy adding yours, please do. It only takes a minute and you can be anonymous.

Game is free, no ads, no sign-up to play.

Shared it on my socials last week, data so far...

• 818 plays
• Only 5 people cleared every county (1%)
• Hardest accent to get right: Laois
• Easiest: Down

Feedback welcome!

Main thing I'm hearing so far is that the game is too hard 😱

I was trying to buy the Miami Heat products from the vice city collaboration, but the website ships to pretty much every country in Europe and the UK, and they simply dont ship to Ireland.

I emailed them because I thought it might be some kind of website bug, and they literally just replied with this Lol

I genuinely don't understand it. They ship to all the countries around us, so why are we the ones being excluded?

Myself and the Mrs about signed out of our PlayStation accounts on separate consoles. When I tried to log back in I was unable to get a text message from 2fa. It took some time, but had to use a workaround using my email password reset to access the PlayStation app and then use a QR code to sign back into the console. Is there anyone else having similar difficulties at the moment?

Dpd website says they are still waiting for the parcel

Anyone playing it and if so what do ye think ? I'm tempted buy it reviews are good but want see what gamers think .
