BIOS has been updated. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for answering! This PC he bought from someone else. It's in an Antec DF-30 case. The PSU is a Corsair HX750. It has 16GB of Vengeance DDR3 RAM (1600MHZ). It is not used for work. The CPU is air cooled.

I'm cleaning up a friends old computer that has a Firepro W5000 GPU, i2600K CPU and Asrock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 mobo on a 1080p monitor. He plays games on it like Age of Empires, Empire Total War but also has older Fallout and HalfLife versions. I have an EVGA GTX 1050 GPU I'm not using and was...

Let me know if you keep the i7 or the i9 and why!

Thanks for your input. I'm going to recycle my PSU (EVGA 850 G3), storage (Samsung 860 EVO 1TB x 4 + Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 NVME SSD), GPU (EVGA 3080 FTW3) and hopefully my old case (Silverstone SST-TJ03B-W), upgrade my RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400 64GB) and CPU cooler (Be Quiet Pure Rock...

My current PC is a 6700K with a EVGA z170 mobo so it's been awhile since my last upgrade. I want to get a 13900k or kf CPU. I have a EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 GPU. What's your verdict on a z690 motherboard over a z790? I know there are technical differences but are there practical differences between...

All of your answers were helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time. I think I'll go with a 3060ti. Cheers!

I'd like to keep it under $500. I prefer to get from Newegg or direct from manufacturer. I like to avoid Amazon but it depends on the seller. I'd love to go to Microcenter but the closest is hundreds of miles away. I'm in the US.

I have a PC I put together just as the GPU market went nuts so I stuck in what I had at the time...a GTX 1070. The CPU is Ryzen 9 3900x, mobo is Asrock B550 steel Legend. and PSU is Corsair RM 650x. CPU is what it is for graphics processing work but the PC is used for gaming, too. What would be...

Today my Windows 10 update indicated an update was present, "Intel - SoftwareComponent - 2130.1.15.0". This was published last year. Do I need it? I cannot determine what it is for. It is not listed as a needed update on the motherboard manufacturer web site. I have an EVGA Classified K Z170...

Thank you!

My first and main question was "Has anyone ever had this case and upgraded the USB ports to USB 3.0? ". So yes, as you said, " finding a modder having done the exact mod, in the exact case " was exactly what I was looking for. That might be unlikely, but on a big forum like this, I do not...

Well, I figured that. I am trying to see if anyone has already done that successfully so I do not have to reinvent the wheel.

I am still using my old Silverstone Temjin TJ03 case which I purchased in 2007. The front panel has the following ports: USB 2.0 x 4, IEEE1394 x 1, Audio x 1 and MIC x 1. Has anyone ever had this case and upgraded the USB ports to USB 3.0? I do not need the IEEE port. I have already added a...

Thanks for responding. It says specifically in the handbook " PCIe 4.0 x16, 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 3.0 x1, 1 M.2 Key E for WiFi " and it is labelled as such on the mobo. There are instructions in the manual on how to insert the wifi module into the slot.
