Advice for which island to pick for a first time visit!

Hey all, me and my girlfriend want to visit Hawaii for our 2 year anniversary. We have 7 days total in trip length available.

Things we like/want to do: hiking, beaches, are foodies, sight/nature seeing, sunsets, culture, snorkeling but not diving, water activities.

We prefer to not stay in big resorts, thinking local owned Airbnb vibes or anything similar.

Any advice is welcome and appreciated!

Built my first PC - GPU cable advice?

Yoo friends, just built my first ever PC - everything turns on and works which is great. I’m waiting for two more rear fans and it should be relatively done.

Only thing bugging me is the GPU cable. Anyone have advice on how to make this look cleaner? I have 2 separate 6x2 cables connecting the GPU to the PSU, but the daisy chain makes it look bulky and it doesn’t sit right. .

Do I just need to buy a better/cleaner cable?
Would a 2x8 cable work as well?

Gaming PC Pre-build Advice

Hey all, would this be a good deal for a prebuilt PC?

This is my first PC and I don’t know much about the PC world. Would like it to be able to handle any online multiplayer games that I would be playing (overwatch, call of duty, etc)

They also have an open box option for $1799 but I’m not sure what open box means.

Appreciate any and all advice/feedback!

Thoughts on this build for my first PC?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FJsMCw

Wanted to keep the budget to around 2k with some wiggle room.
Would it be worth to switch to the 9800X3D for ~$70 more?

I'll be playing all sorts of multiplayer/single player games on 1440p monitor, potentially going to an OLED soon.

What would you change, if anything?

Suggestions for building first PC

Hey everyone, looking to build my first pc (or if it’s really worth just get a prebuilt).

My budget is $1500-$2000 for just the build, don’t need peripherals. Currently have a 1440p, may get an oled monitor later.

I play overwatch, marvel rivals, souls like games, god of war, cyberpunk, smite, halo, will be getting gta 6, etc.

I’ve done some small research and seem to be suggested to get at least an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB, or something very similar. Been suggested to get at least 16GB of ram as well. But I know nothing about brands or what fans/motherboards/SSD to get.

Any suggestions help, I’ve been suggested some prebuilts but feel like building one would be fun. Thanks all

Looking for prebuilt recs

Never owned a gaming pc/pc before, so I don't know what to expect or what to go for. Coming straight from Xbox one series x.

Typically play halo, gears, overwatch, marvel rivals, god of war, souls type games. A good mix of single player and multiplayer gaming.

Budget is $2000 - what should I look for, anyone have good suggestions during prime day or other solid deals?
