    Question GPU upgrade assistance for a 1440p Mini ITX build ?

    Appreciate the suggestions and help guys. I've decided I will opt for the 4070 and upgrade PSU to at least 650-750W just to future proof any other upgrades down the track. Hopefully the rest of my build holds up. Thanks again!

    [SOLVED] Unusable wifi and bluetooth on Asus Strix Z370-i Motherboard ?

    Hey so I managed to sort the wifi by just using a spare router as a bridge, it will do for now at least.. Can anyone explain the poor bluetooth connection with my headphones? As mentioned, they work perfectly with other devices including laptops and iphones.
