Title says it all.

My current build consists of an upgraded Skytech Nebula PC, which originally had a GTX 1650 4gb GPU, and a 500 GB SSD, which I have since upgraded to a RTX 5060 Ti 8gb GPU, and 1 TB SSD, as well as a 1 TB HDD that I originally used for console gaming.

As far as my CPU and RAM goes, I am still running with a Ryzen 5 3600, and 16 GB of RAM, which prompts my question: what would you advise me on upgrading? I am well aware that the 3600 has long since passed it's peak potential, and is obviously a good starting for beginner builds, but when I stream or record a game like No Man's Sky, my fps drops from 60 fps, to right around 20 to 30 fps, and the stream is almost entirely a still image.

I'd greatly appreciate all advice, and recommendations for parts, as I have been itching to get into the content creator world, as I've been told I've got the personality for it, but you don't know for sure that you have it, until you blow up on the Internet. Lol.

I'm sure many of us aspire to be the next Markiplier or PewDiePie, or perhaps something new and original all on our own, but I'm not jumping into this for the sake of making money (although the thought of it does tickle my brain a bit,) but I am merely doing this for the fun of it.

But, again, I'd appreciate whatever recommendations and tips you all may have.

I've included a picture of the build I bought from Amazon, for those curious about the rest of the build.

I've been day trading for over 2 years now and got frustrated with existing journaling tools — either they were too basic or too clunky to track the specific things I cared about. So I built my own.

What it does:

• Log trades with detailed entry/exit data, session tags, confluences, and notes
• One-click import from TradingView — I built a Pine Script indicator that encodes your trade data into the title string, so you just copy-paste and the trade is logged. No more manually filling out spreadsheet rows.
• Automatic stats breakdown — winrate, average RR, P&L, all filterable by any tag or condition
• Performance calendar so you can see your consistency at a glance
• AI feedback on your trades (analyzes your patterns and gives suggestions)
• Session management to separate different strategies or accounts

Why I built it:

The friction of logging trades was killing me. I used to journal in a spreadsheet, and honestly it was pure cancer — manually entering every field, copy-pasting prices, formatting cells. Half the time I'd skip logging trades just because it was too annoying, which defeats the entire purpose.

After 500+ logged trades (once I actually made it easy to log them), the biggest thing I realized is that my edge wasn't just in the setup — it was in knowing when to take it. My baseline winrate across all trades is around 56% with a fixed 2RR target. But when I filtered by session time and specific confluences, the numbers improved significantly. I would have never figured that out without being able to tag and filter everything properly.

Most tools I tried either didn't let me add custom tags or made it a pain to actually analyze the data afterward. So I built something that does both.

Stack (for the devs here): React + Vite frontend, Express backend, Supabase for DB and auth, Stripe for subscriptions, deployed on Vercel.

There's a free tier if anyone wants to check it out: tradingsfx.com

Happy to answer any questions about the tool or the process of building it. Would love feedback from other day traders on what features you'd actually want in a journal. This was honestly valuable for me and I hope it will be for you too.

I started my content creation a year ago on youtube and tiktok, with my set up I have a phone and VR. I am terrible at editing so I ask my friend who owns a PC to do it for me, he takes a long time to get back to me but if its free I don’t care that much, I offer him money but he refuses, probably because it will make him feel like he needs to do a fast and good job but I don’t expect that. Lately I decided to go live on TikTok but… I only have 1 eye and my other eye kind of looks off to one side making me look bogeyed but it is easy to tell its something more than just a “bog-eye” its scared and has light tissue on my pupil making it look blue. Most people say it looks cool never insulting my actual looks just pointing out my eye giving me the common “I’m over here mate” or “holy bog-eye” some people keep it respectful and ask what happened politely. And so my question, the taunts get annoying and irritating. I have moderators who ban people who make sexual comments or insult the eye, but recently I asked them to stop banning the people making fun of the eye. I wanted to experiment by “pretending to get angry” to make people get interested or find it funny (inspired by caseoh when people mention his weight or joe bart when they mention “the hills” meme) and so i went from 12 viewers to 50 until I actually got annoyed. With more viewers can more people and within about 15 minutes I had 3 people mention it. On the surface I acted like it was just jokes. Right NOW here comes my question I do apologise. Does a more positive audience come in time drowning out these comments and will I learn to ignore it.
