Thank you for the thorough and clear explanation!

Firstly. Best. Response. Ever. Now on to serious stuff. To make sure I understand your fully. For the average gamer like me: if I have a decent GF GPU (like to 2070 super), 1. I'm going to get the the same amount out of my GPU, regardless of whether it is pure G-Sync or G-Sync Compatible. 2...

Hi all! I've been planning a rig around the RTX 2070 Super. At first I (foolishly) thought, since I'm going with nvidia, I'd just quickly pair with a G-Sync monitor. I'm now realising that options are limited for a 27" 1440p 144-165hz monitor that is not wallet breaking. Enter G-Sync...

The more I research into CPU, the murkier everything gets! Quite a few review sites claim i7-9700k better for gaming, but alot of forums say r7-3700x likely to age better. Central to the discussion is if hyperthreading is a reality for future games. Some say its pointless for most games now...

I actually considered the Noctua DH-15S. But they are special order through international shipping, so I'm really worried about warranty or replacement issues. Is the Dark Rock Pro 4 an equivalent to the DH-15S? Lots of mixed signals from articles, although almost all agree they are top of the...

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the CPU, where I'm from, the i7-7900k with ASUS MB is priced at $896. The AMD price equivalent is the R7 3700X with ASUS ROG STRIX X570 MB ($905). However saw some reviews that in terms of pure gaming, the i7 fared slightly better, whereas the R7 was a better...

Hi all, Planning a new rig for end of the year. Goals: Quiet, 1440p + up to 144Hz gaming, minor overclocking, stable and longevity of components Not interested: Extreme overclocking, RGB Some preferences/comments: Intel CPU for single core performance. Also, more use to intel products. Not...

Tha Thanks for the build specs! It gives me a better idea on what my final build should look like. Unfortunately the 2080 super is slightly out of my price range. Also, I'm not sure if I'm mistaken but I can't seem to find EVGA cards in Singapore readily. Seen Asus, MSI, Gigabyte and Zoltac...

Thanks!

Hi all, Finally going to build a new rig after 7 years. My objectives: quiet PC build, gaming at 1440p. Play games like Witcher 3 and 2077 next year! May get a 1440p 144hz display. Not interested in 4K gaming. Decided to go with Asus ROG STRIX sets for quietness and reliability. Having a...

No budget cap (my treat after a 5 year wait!). Planning for a 500 GB or 1TB SSD. Hdd will be a 1TB also. Slight reluctance for external drive because of the hassle of connecting it.

I'm building a new silent rig and have a question of HDD noise. I'm intending to get a SSD to install OS and applications/games. However for data storage (documents, pictures, videos) , planning to have a HDD. Will the HDD make noise when I'm not accessing the files in the HDD? Thanks!
