I'm a long time Windows users and I've gotten to a point where I want to move on. I use my PC mostly for gaming and I know Linux isn't the most support platform on that respect. I was just curious if any long time Linux users have anything that would be good for me to know before switching. I...

I have a intel i5-7600k and I plan on moving up to 4k for my gaming rig. Would I be okay sticking with my current cpu? I kinda figure I would be because at that resolution it's more about the graphics card,

Wow I didn't know that thanks for the speedy response, I never noticed that until now. I guess I'll just have to get a faster internet provider at some point.

I have 60mb internet through Spectrum and I only see about 8mbs when I'm downloading any games and stuff. What could possibly be keeping me from seeing the full speed?

I'm looking at getting a AMD Ryzen 1600x or a Intel i5-8600k. I plan on gaming a 4k so should I give with the Intel or the AMD? Will the performance be that different between the two at that resolution?

I think I can get away with having my dac unplugged seeing that I have a pair of speakers so I can plug the camera into the board thankfully, Also on another note I was able to get a refund on the hub. Thank you for responding as much as you have anyway though.

Alright well I guess I'll have to see what will happen because I bought the dang thing and cant cancel the order.

Well I can fit the headset usb into my motherboard. The hub I'm looking at isn't powered but all I'll be plugging into it is the ir camera for the headset and my dac, would that be eat up the data stream from the hub to much?

I'm looking to expand my usb ports so I can start doing some vr stuff. Would I be okay with using a usb 3.0 hub like the anker ultra slim 3.0 hub or should I get an expansion card?

I'm planning on buidling a new pc soon and I don't plan on overclocking ever. So with that in mind would I be okay with buying the intel i5-7600 or the intel i5-7500 for my gaming pc?

I'm looking at buying a 120gb ssd for a boot drive is that enough? All I'll be putting on it is windows 10 and the gaming platforms for pc as well as spotify. Should I look into a bigger ssd or is 120 enough?

I'm planning on building a new gaming pc soon and I'm kinda hung up on with cpu I should go with. I'm looking at the Intel i5-7600 or the amd ryzen 1700 I know there is a big gap between there prices but still what would be the better one to go with?

Well I'm planning a getting a m.2 ssd and I need a hdd for bulk game storage would a HGST travelstar 7k1000 do the trick?

Alright I think I might just get a 2.5 inch hard drive.

I'm planning on building a new pc soon and I'm looking at the silverstone rvz02 which only really fits 2.5 inch drives. I saw the seagate firecuda sshd which runs at 5400 rpms I think would that be fast enough for games or should I look else where?
