I don't think age has anything to do with this sentiment. I agree 100%...the more I look at the caps the more it makes my eyes feel weird and head ache, haha.

Right?

This ^ I was thinking the exact same thing when looking at the parts list. Not a bad system at all, but I would scale down the chipset, CPU, and prioritize a bump up in GPU (even though an RX 9070 and 5070 are fine in their own right.) Better investment for anyone who doesn't want to fight over...

So...I get doing this as part of your verdict: Cons Concerns with retail availability and pricing But why make that a con when that wasn't even a made a point for Nvidia's 5080/90 on review release? NVIDIA has had a more pronounced track record over the most recent generations of having...

ASUS are crooks, sorry, but that's the reality. I never would have realized that until my recent experience of dealing with an RMA for a monitor that was under warranty. The story: I purchased an ASUS TUF 30" ultrawide monitor for my brothers birthday in Feb. 2023, just over one year later the...

Over half of the world population own a smart phone already, that's billions of people. This also doesn't include people who own a tablet if their tablet has a built in camera, and often times people with a table have a cover/foldable prop up. A stand/prop up for a phone is significantly cheaper...

Can definitely feel the defensive posture in this one from the writer. I don't recall, but when AMD did utilize it, did you guys say anything commendable, or at least stand out? You know, being around for several years and all? 🙄🤷‍♂

It's possible for you to do a significant upgrade while retaining most of your current platform parts to spend the least amount as possible...whether that be Intel or AMD. You could take everything except the CPU, Motherboard and GPU and jump to LGA 1700 or AM4 platform that utilizes your DDR4...

I agree, you should stick with the 5600G, especially from an iGPU perspective/budget build that leans more towards productivity. Intel UHD 730 (i3 13100), and even UHD 750 is not even close to a Radeon Vega 7 iGPU. I work 80% remote since the pandemic. I have a very similar setup for pure...

I would honestly get that 6750XT you're referring to on Newegg, if it's the MSI Mech. You will not have an issue with that card in terms of heat. I build SFF all the time and with the way the side panel is designed for your case and where the GPU slots in, a 20W power draw increase isn't going...

Imagine if that did include tax though? Sheeeesh o_O.

Most definitely.

Better than that Adata recommendation for sure. I recommended this in that post yesterday :ROFLMAO: The SN850X can also be had for the same price at Adorama, just FYI.

Don't think any of that includes tax. Which is huge once you reach values of a build that the OP has in mind.

My recommendation (AMD): Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING (Newegg) CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D (Newegg) CPU Cooler: DeepCool LS520 SE 240mm AIO (Newegg) Memory: G.SKILL Flare X5 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000 CAS 30 (Newegg) Storage: SN850X 2TB (Newegg) (is $10 cheaper at Best Buy at the moment)...
