    Build Advice $1100 PC build.

    Seems good, the bundle with the upgraded mobo and ram is currently sold out which is why I didn’t use it, but I can definitely wait. Can you explain the performance difference between the 7800xt and 5070? I don’t really know much about the new gpus. Also is there a reason for the ssd change, im...

    Question can 1660 ti be used with ryzen 5 7600

    so what you are saying is that i should buy the 7800x3d for the long run as its more price to performance and i am going to be upgrading the gpu anyways. im sure the bottleneck wont be TOO bad.

    Question can 1660 ti be used with ryzen 5 7600

    idk if u will see this but i have just stumbled upon microcenter bundles and i happen to live near the tustin location so i was wondering if this bundle with the ryzen 7 7800x3d would work with the 1660 ti without any major bottlenecks. i do realize it is a much more powerful cpu for gaming so...

    Question can 1660 ti be used with ryzen 5 7600

    yeah that was what i was thinking that too, would the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 - TT Premium Edition 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply, be a good choice? it is atx 3.0 and pcie 5.0.

    Question can 1660 ti be used with ryzen 5 7600

    yeah im planning on upgrading the gpu later to perhaps a 6800xt but that will be once i get a job and buy it with my own money. so the 7600x would work even with the 1660ti and wouldn't have like glitching/bottleneck?

    Question loud gpu fan

    im fairly certain my psu is a 180w + 230w external PSU, so i should probably get a new one with like 450-500w if i want to use the 1660 ti.

    Question loud gpu fan

    i mean my power supply can support it because it has 2 power bricks to connect to but maybe im inserting the card into the holder wrong? i doubt it though because when i put the gtx 750 in, it slides in perfectly and im doing the exact same thing with the bigger card. i can show you a video of...
