Hello all, I just ordered my new build and it is to arrive tomorrow rocking the following: Ryzen 5 7600 non X + Pure Rock 2 Black Cooler Sapphire 7900 XT Pulse MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk 2x16GB Kingston Fury EXPO DDR5 6000mhz CL36 850w MSI MPG A850G 80+ Gold 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus be quiet...

I did, however there is a 200+€ difference between the 6900 XT and the 4070 Ti which I just cannot see justified. The price of a 4070 Ti is equal to a 7900 XT(X) where I live.

Well... The time has finally come, I'm throwing together finally a new build for my newly picked up 3440x1440 144hz Monitor. My poor i7-7700 and RX 580 cannot keep up anymore. I'm severely out of the hardware world and I need some help with my new build. Especially when it comes to...

Hey, thanks for the reply, The MSI PSU goes for a bit cheaper, but I heard the cables on that one were stiff, the reason I chose 850w is so that I have headroom to upgrade, or should I just pick a cheaper PSU and then when push comes to shove, also upgrade the PSU alongside the GPU? . The 6900...

Hey, thanks for the reply. I assume the R5 7600 wouldn't create any sort of bottleneck for the 6800 XT in 1440p right? Regarding system reqs, I'm well aware of that, however considering how well optimized the last few releases were and how well the RE Engine handles, I'd hope to be fine in...

Hello all, I've been looking into building a rig again and I'm completely out of the Hardware world (been now for a while, my last build was in mid 2017 with a RX 580) goes to show how long I've been out, I stopped following once GPU prices hit the fan and the whole mining craze. My main...

Right, thank you guys so much, I think as a mid term solution, the 6600 should do until I upgrade the entire rig.

Right, that is what I saw a 1 - 2% performance decrease using 3.0 instead of 4.0. Regarding the bottleneck, I've seen that the i7 - 7700 is about as slow as the current i3s now, still would it bottleneck the 6600 or not? What do you guys think

Hello y'all, long story short, my last build was in early - mid 2017 consisting of: i7 - 7700 (non k) 2x8 GB Corsair LP4 DDR4 2400mhz H270 Pro4 (Had to replace my original board since one of the ram slots died) CX 550M PSU Now I've been rock solid with this for nearly 6 years now. However...

Right, the cooler is god awfully old but gets the job done anyways, was thinking of going low profile or getting another cooler as an upgrade since lower temperatures are always nice. So many options for a case, the node 202 seems to be designed for blower fans so my open card wouldn't get...

Right, I usually remove the GPU and Cooler and pack them in separate anti static bags when I move. So you're recommending the TU150 from Lian Li with handle? Plenty of cases have that gimmick, though no clue on how useful they might be. I'll look more into it, but a handle isn't a must. I was...

Budget probably around 200, unsure what NZXT Tower I have, I believe it is an H510 if im not mistaken. I've found quite a couple motherboards with a compatible chipset for gen 7s and with nvme slots for around 80 - 120, leaving the rest for a new case assuming no cooler and PSU change are...

Hello all, I'm thinking about switching from ATX / Micro ATX to ITX since it suits my needs better. I've found myself having to move frequently between to places and decided, instead of settling on a gaming laptop or anything else, slapping my PC in a suitcase basically. It worked when I moved...

That is what I'm thinking about. Right now It's somewhat late here, I'll test each and every single ramstick individually again tomorrow to check out what on earth is going on.

Original: CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 Bought yesterday: CMK16GX4M1A2400C16 differs by the 1... Though I assumed this was the 2X8 = hence 2 I assume on the original ones I bought and then 1x8 = 8 so just 1...? Reset the CPU today by taking it out, cleaning it and re-applying my thermal paste. I'll...
