    Question Case screw hole stripped out

    It's a Fractal Focus G case. I ended up taking a case screw from my old Cougar case which apparently had slightly larger screws and making it work.

    Question Case screw hole stripped out

    Build a new machine, kid got overzealous putting the side panel back on and went too far. Now the thumbscrew won't grab the case itself. Any ideas on what I can do to secure the side panel?

    Build Advice My second build, 7 years after the first.

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b6Lkqm Building a new pc so that my kids can play MSFS2020 and whatever games they come into in the next few years. I've already bought the PSU and NVM drive, fairly certain on the the AMD 5600 processor. Really looking for advice on the Mobo and GPU. Not looking...

    Question GPU for low end Flight Simulator

    It's time to teach my kids how to build a computer. The last desktop I built when Fallout 4 was coming out is ready to kick the bucket and my older son really wants to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Ideally looking for an AMD card that will run the game decently on a 1080 screen with a...

    Router and modem recommendation

    It was stated to me that they could turn off the modem and router portion of the Arris and I could use it strictly as a telephony adapter. I'm on software v9.1.103 and one of the online tests I found shows an issue, as do the logs that Spectrum can see. On the plus side Spectrum offers other...

    Router and modem recommendation

    I do, but have been told that I can use only the phone aspect of the modem I have at no charge and use my own modem for internet access.

    Router and modem recommendation

    I desperately need to get rid of this laggy modem/router combo that Time Warner Spectrum has given me and told me it is my only option. It has the crappy chip that Intel is being sued for. I'm looking for a recommendation for a Broadcom based Modem and a Router that is going to fill my needs...

    Wireless extender recommendation

    Looking for a simple inexpensive way to extend my wireless network. I live in an old house with the router in a front corner which means I can't get signal when I'm at the other end of the house. What is the simplest way to get coverage on the whole house? I can run cable but would prefer not...

    Help choosing laptop processor

    Currently I have an Acer with an AMD E2 processor that just isn't cutting it as a second machine. I'm looking to replace it and am not sure how far up the list I need to go. I'm only looking to do some web browsing, videos, maybe some office work on occasion. Absolutely no intensive gaming...

    USB dual band wifi adapter recommendation

    Looking for a USB Dual-Band adapter. Prefer lower cost than the Asus that seems to be the recommendation. Not used for gaming but would still like to get something better than the 50MBPS I'm getting on my current card. And would prefer no TP-Link, I always seem to have problems with their stuff.

    Suggestions and advice for my first PC build

    Memory works better in two sticks rather than one, which is why SR-71 recommended the 2x4gb instead of the 1xgb. You need a better power supply, it's not just about wattage, quality matters much more than the pure number.

    High end gaming PC part list - Will it work?

    I like the Asus Strix line which is $60 less than the MSI you have listed. I would add an SSD, even just a 120gb will help greatly if you're only playing one or two games at a time. Maybe go with a less expensive HDD as well.

    Upgrading CPU, GPU, Mobo

    If you have one monitor that can only use hdmi, what about the other monitor? Can you use dvi? You could just upgrade the 6300 to an 8350 for $130 and keep the same Mobo. If you go intel you'll need the chip, mobo, ram. I've had my 6300 up to 4.0ghz on just a multiplier change on the stock...

    Do I need to upgrade my GPU or can I run Fallout 4 on medium to high settings?

    I have an R7 370 4GB and I play fallout 4 on high settings. I get 45-55 fps except at night with fires going, for some reason that knocks down my fps to about 15.

    make sure windows uses integrated graphics

    Have you taken the 210 out of the system? What Mobo and Processor? Some Mobos will turn off the onboard graphics as soon as it detects something in the PCI-E slot.
