Awesome, that's really good to hear, I haven't had any really long gaming sessions yet so I'll keep an eye on it but if that seems pretty good so far then I'll let it stand for now

I have a 9700x CPU and a 9070XT GPU. I recently built my first ever custom pc and one thing I still do not really understand is adjusting the fan curves. I don't have any concern with noise. My system is pretty quiet and I have noise-cancelling headphones on top of that so it's not a worry at...

Do you think it's better to install the bios updates first or windows? I have seen conflicting arguments for both because installing windows first might be less risky than installing it on a potentially unstable system and installing the bios updates next might be easier for a newbie like me...

Are the parts I currently have selected of decent quality? Is there anything here that is sticking out as being particularly bad and I should replace with a different product? PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor ($289.00 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Thermalright...

Thank you all for the advice and help! I have adjusted some of the parts based on all of your recommendations. Below is my new list. It seems like I picked possibly the worst time to go looking for a graphics card (RIP). Would it be better to hold off a bit longer or will prices just continue to...

Can I ask, is the CPU you recommended a higher quality but an older version? That would be better than a lower quality newer version? Also, are air cooler's better or worse than liquid coolers? I thought liquid coolers would be better and easier to install but maybe I was mistaken? Are air...

Hello all! This is my first time building a custom PC. I have never done so before and in fact have never owned a PC for gaming. My overall goal is to build a custom PC that can run Monster Hunter Wilds well. I have many questions and would love some advice as I have zero experience doing this...
