+Why_ME Is one placement for the cooler better than the other? board higher up for air cooling or lower? I'm pretty flexible on the cases too. I saw both of them IRL yesterday and today and i don't mind the larger Lian Li III over the 216. I know there's a slight performance difference...

I actually found the case for a lot less at microcenter, going today to pick it up :) https://www.microcenter.com/product/649250/lian-li-lancool-iii-rgb-tempered-glass-atx-mid-tower-computer-case-black Is Mushkin Redline Lumina 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6400 CL30 Memory ($209.99 @ Newegg) a...

Yea, took a closer look now but they both seem very comparable as does the Gigabyte Elite Wifi7 X but that answers my 'dumb' question earlier haha. I think I should be all set now :)

Great thanks again for the updates. Latest is below. Feeling pretty good about this build. Going to pull the trigger on it tomorrow and maybe try to build this thing myself :sweatsmile: And motherboard is alright or the Gigabyte z790 have something better? PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel...

Great! I made a few changes then For the CPU Cooler, an earlier recommendation paired the Arctic III with the Lian Li case. Will that not work? If it doesn't the be quiet will be my next option. I also swapped the memory for Mushkin Video Card also upped to the 4070 ti super Battery also...

Thanks for all the input some really nice finds here. It's so easy to get decision paralysis and be overwhelmed here so appreciate the assistance. I'm also not going for any specific white/black rgb path but I don't mind spending another $50-100 for lights haha. This is what I currently have...

I can carry over the 1080 GTX video card as i don't play Games often. I can opt for 2 x 16gb as well if that's a better option. My current ram also does the trick so I don't see a need for more. DDR5 (y) noted.

Hi, I previously posted a thread a few years back about going through a potential PC upgrade. To cut the story short I never upgraded and continued to use my PC and work macbook as normal as it suited me. Now, to cut to today, my PC is starting to fail. It's always beeping (6-7 beeps) on start...

Great, thanks for all the recommendations. I can certainly wait 3 months until the new processors come out as I'm in no immediate rush as my computer is running perfectly fine. I'll definitely keep the 1080 for now too. Seems the biggest upgrades I need here are the CPU and Motherboard...

hello everyone, I'm currently looking to upgrade my home desktop computer. It's currently about 10 years :sweatsmile: old but I have previously upgraded some parts. I've mostly been using Mac Book Pros over the last few years for work so I haven't used this desktop as much which is why it's so...
