I just picked up a 3080 and am now wondering if I have enough power to maintain while gaming. Build list is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JmLbqp I CAN upgrade the PSU, but would prefer not to, if possible. (The 3080 made my wallet hurt lol) Nothing is OCed currently, but I am thinking...

I am currently using the Logitech G513 RGB full size keyboard, and am looking to get into a smaller form factor budget-friendly keyboard. I have my eyes on the v2 of the Keychron K2. For anyone who has experience with the K2, will I see a significant quality drop? I like the build quality of the...

Does anyone have any ideas? I really don't want to RMA.

When I run a benchmark or play games, my GPU makes a fairly loud grinding noise at 50 - 60% fan speed. It doesn't make the noise before or after that 50 - 60% mark. The sound stops if I press on the shroud (logo side) but comes back as soon as I let go. Any ideas on fixes? I'm debating on...

Hello, Helping my brother in law with a new system build, and it has been a while since I have done one, so any advice on modifications would be appreciated. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2JLFM8 Thanks!

@barty yeah I use it for gaming as well as my work from home PC, though work takes next to nil for power needs. Currently I am only using it at 1080p, but might be looking at higher res monitors as well. Hoping to future proof with the i7 too.

I don't know, I always have had a sound card due to terrible on board sound. Has onboard sound gotten much better over the years?

I haven't done a new build in about 5 years, and have decided to go for it again. Please let me know if this build is decent, or any tips on changes. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sbQ26X
