Thanks gang, I just picked up a MSI - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB VENTUS 2X OC 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card - Black for 299 from BestBuy. won't be able to install it until tomorrow, though.

Just one more question, if you don't mind sir, just one more. Back in my day, OC was new and a quick way to fry your system, now I see almost all the cards are routinely listed as OC'd. Does it matter? TIA

Sorry gang. PSU is a new Be Quiet straight power 12 750W basically, I went off the Tom's recommended list. Display is a Samsung 27" smart TV 1080p, about 7 years old from the house.

New system build: NZXT N7 Flow (2022) case (the 2022 case has been replaced by the 2024, reviewers seem to prefer the 2022. I accidently ordered the two-tone white/black case, a can of Rustoleom fixed it_ MSI Pro B650-P Wifi motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 7800 X3D 4.2 Ghz Socket 5 120W CPU...

Note: computer fans work opposite of boat and airplane propellors. I had to turn everything around after I discovered that. What was also interesting was to take a joss stick and move it around the sealed up case, watching where air was exiting the case (upper rear above the CPU fans/before the...

Thanks gang, here's how it came out. Primary storage is the 2 P3 M2 drives, I had these laying around and thought they could be useful as backup drives.

Thanks, that'll do. Amazon? Actually, in addition to the 2 side mounted SSDs there is also a drive cage in the bottom front for x1-2 more Sata drivez

Mod: will do it tomorrow DWD999: Agreed, messy. Wonder if I could just cut off the excess? It's got 4 or 5 power connectors, I just need one. BFG9000: thanks for that pic. Helps a lot.

Hi all, MSI P650p ms be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W ATX 3.1 power supply, couple WD SSD drives NZXT 7 Flow (2022) case The SATA cables are the usual ribbons, but the SSD drives are mounted flush on the backside of the case, so there's no way to attach a ribbon cable to the SSD drives, seems...

Thanks for the help, gang. This is going to be used for casual flight simming, may not even load the new MSFS and stick with my old Steam FSX since that's what all my airplanes/scenery are for. I think I'll remove the top exhaust fans and flip the rear fan around so it's an exhaust, that will...

HI all, First build since my old i3570. I'm planning to pair an AMD 78003DX with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Cooler on a MSI Pro B650-P in a NZXT H7 Flow (2022) with 3x Noctua NF-P12 fans on top as exhaust, one in front plus the stock case fan as intake, and the stock case fan...
