Got a DDR5 (I think) LGA1700 Mobo fairly cheap, what's the sort of best base level CPU for gaming to flip?
I remember having a 12400F in my first pre-built and that seemed fine, but was a while ago now and I've been AMD for personal
I'd upgraded my PC earlier this year from a 2070 to a 3070 Ti FE and realised I needed more VRAM for what I wanted to game so bought a 3080 Ti FE two weeks ago.
I had toiled with either just selling it on its own or building a pc to flip. Id already bought a 3600x with bent pins to straighten, I had a motherboard lying around I got from family and some other parts so only really needed a GPU, RAM and a case.
Based on what I've read on this page, the target audiences for most are the RGB lovers and maybe not quite someone who appreciates my Fractal North with Noctua build.
Would I get a true representative value of the FE or should I be looking at the classic style of a GPU for build?
TLDR: Graduated with a 2:1 in Mechanical Manufacturing engineering in 2019, have spent the time in-between doing what I thought was a graduate role, paid off with hush money when it was found to be not, feel into the same industry snd 4 years later I've been made redundant again as I shot myself in the foot pivoting to commercial and margin improvement which is their reason for paying me off.
This level experience to me would sound great in a "typical" engineering company, but it was a very niche industry of corrugated packaging. Ie. I used cad software to design bespoke and sometimes complex packaging for customers with all the relevant science with that.
I'm at a point now that I'm at a crossroads, the industry is narrowing in my local area (commuted 60 miles a day for previous job) and really struggling on what to do next.
I had thought maybe I could turn to a more typical engineering company, but I'm not sure if my experience would be taken seriously and I think I'm way too far out for an actual grad role now.
Would it be a good idea to do a masters or should I just be trying to get into a role now?
I feel it least gives me an MSC gives me a graduate clean sheet plus some work place experience, but with the costs related it feels a gamble (even with student loans).
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated!
