Every component there was made 3+ years ago, you'd likely want to disconnect and re-paste an old custom waterblock on the gpu...does that sound like something worth spending 2k for?

I have that MB, DO NOT BUY. Tons of quality problems, have wasted a fair deal of time troubleshooting.

'21 for 28 + tax. Bonkers market for used manuals really pushes you to buy new. Doesn't help that used WRXs get abused, the CVTs suck, and STI's have headgasket problems on top of that. I'd expect a higher price + markup (yay Biden bux,) some teething issues if you wait for the new model...

Wanted something enjoyable that was also good for winters, ended up with this

Wasn't Ibuypower the good one? Holy shit was that Dell bad though GPU allotments are helping this OEM shit spread again like on designated Indian streets. Though OEM + budget has always been a recipe for crap, you'd think some of the worst elements would have been sorted by now.

4 Satas can be connected though the B550 chipset regardless of PCIe lane usage, don't make me post the B550 layout image again!

1080 to 3080 doesn't just skyrocket power demands, it also explodes usage of cpu/etc via raw fps & driver requirements. That big an upgrade can expose weaknesses in a system. As we all know, if there's any weakness in your system, it needs to be disposed of ASAP! Also, unless you're a...

Try to install/boot it, get the error message, then call Microsoft; tell them the old motherboard broke or something. Worked pretty easy with xp and win 7 a ways back.

G-skill Difference between RAM brands is mostly the heatsink, chips come from wherever is cheapest that day. On Newegg you can pay 100$ more for corsair, stare at out of stock for Oloy, or buy some Crucial and find out that they mostly make single rank with no way to know until after you get...

10700k (11700k & 11900k) are mostly just 9900k s. If you're being smart and getting a R5/R7 5000 series, then yeah a monster cooler would be fairly pointless in gaming.

RE Village system requirements now on Steam MINIMUM: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 (64 bit) Processor: Intel Core i5-7500 ／ AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB VRAM ／ AMD Radeon RX 560 with 4GB VRAM DirectX: Version...

$300 motherboard and $175 for 3200 ram is way too much for a ghetto Intel PC. Cooler is very weak for a 10700k, also you'll want some case fans for your airflow case to have...airflow. Better performance at same/less price- 5600x/5800x + MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard -...

The real question is why do these little kids in 1999 or later have an eight year old Nirvana album looking brand new?

Nah it's North Africa, with covered stickers in Arabic on the box.

Bought a mid range unlocked Samsung A51 for $270, last month. By the packaging and charger, it came right out of the Libyan grey market. Wanted a high quality screen and camera. Seems really nice so far.

Seems to be a theme, so here's my cheap-skate 2002 with 90k miles on ice.

No benefit to 4 sticks if they are dual rank, while most 8gb sticks are single rank ...MOST 16gb sticks are dual rank. if you're trying to get good ram atleast get 3600 cl16 regardless Right under the chipset it says 4x Sata 6GB/s ...guaranteed you don't need open pcie lanes for them. Did...

The gen 3 nvme drive on a b550 via the chipset is in addition to a gen 4 nvme drive. Many budget x570s only support 1 gen 4 nvme drive anyways. If you're looking at the same price and thinking the higher end chipset is coming in without cuts elsewhere you're likely mistaken.

You're way off there @Fucker a B550 can handle a 4x nvme drive, a 16x gen 4 graphics card, and 4x sata drives + gen 3 nvme or 2 more sata (via chipset not the pcie lanes). If you want a ton of drives or some add on cards go x570, otherwise B550 really is good for most people.

4 years ago, you could buy a decent midrange 8GB card for $250

You didn't even need to visit a website, unpatched Windows XP starts getting worms the moment you plug in an ethernet cable to a working modem.

They can just stick an older model catapult on it, I'd think

You could probably tune the ram timings from 18 to 16, but that'd be quite a hassle to save ten bucks.

Price, features(# usb/m2/sata ports, wifi/lan speed, etc), build quality (vrm, bios, memory support for highend/oc.) If you don't really need anything special, can safely get any B550 board in the $150 range.

Pump header can also be used for a pwm fan, some fan connectors can be daisy chained but don't overdo that.

If someone looks good enough almost anything they're wearing will look better, the converse is also true

Updated your Realtek drivers and made sure all of your unused sound devices are disabled in windows? It loves to randomly switch to them for no reason.

G9 is the only ~$1000+ monitor ever really mentioned much, Hardware Unboxed do detailed monitor reviews.

Prebuilts often have in demand cpu/gpu held back by some really cheap components. Slow ram can really hold back a Ryzen system. Should be ~20% fps loss when cpu capped between 3600cl16 and 3000cl17. More sticks would be limited to the same speeds, consider replacing during a sale. The tiny...

Not a fan of those charts; CPUs don't change in performance going from 1080p to 1440p, but GPUs do significantly. What's the ram and PSU? Make sure the ram is in the correct slots with XMP enabled when you get it, getting bad pre-built vibes. You should get a NVME drive too, you really don't...

Apparently a "final" big update the other day. Graphics, music noticeably improved. Back on sale too.

It's overpriced vs the rest of the series in $/core, but it's now the best "gaming" cpu you can buy- so it sort of commands a near Intel level price premium. It is a better binned single ccx, clocks a little higher stock+overclocked. As pointed out a better bang for the buck would be from...

5800x has the highest $/core and a very marginal gaming performance over the 5600x. On the other hand it outperforms the 10900k at almost everything while using less power, for 150$ less. AMD knows it'll still sell out for a good while but yeah it should really be priced lower post release...

3600X/XT were a choice when the 3600 wasn't available msrp (most of the time...) Now, unless maybe if it's on sale+you using the not as bad stock cooler. At 250 you may aswell get a 10600K now or soon a 5600X for $ 300. @Quineloe memory needs a custom tune (maybe that's what you intended)...
