    [SOLVED] Modern GPU pair for i5 7600k?

    Motherboard is an msi z270 a pro. Psu is a Corsair cx550. Monitor is 1080p 60hz, but it’s a problem of barely getting 60fps on low settings so maybe getting a better gpu could allow for higher settings and/or frames.

    [SOLVED] Modern GPU pair for i5 7600k?

    Brother has been using this computer for about three years now. Was a definite budget build and we built it with an i5 7600k and a 1050 ti. The 1050 ti is obviously not the greatest and is starting to have cooling issues, so I figured might as well get a new GPU for Christmas. So my question is...

    Question Could a power supply be bottlenecking my performance?

    I decided the power usage is very high from task manager. I understand what you are explaining to me, but I am pretty sure I still have an issue. I compared with someone with a 2060 super, same CPU, and 16 gigs of ram and they were outperforming me on much better settings. Any suggestions on...

    Everything is fine in Modern Warfare. Is there any way I can get my cpu and gpu working more than 45%?

    Question Could a power supply be bottlenecking my performance?

    Just build a brand new computer about three months ago. We've got a 2070 super, 3700x, 32 gb of ram, and a Corsair rx650W power supply. I am getting low framerates on a block game that this just shouldn't be happening in. In task manager, my CPU and GPU are only around 45%ish usage with no...

    [SOLVED] Thermal compound question

    Building a new computer with a Ryzen processor. I bought a cpu cooler even though it included one. I forgot that Ryzens come with thermal compound on the cooler. I need advice. Should I use the stock one for now with the compound, or would the other one be safe. I’m 97% thinking the correct...

    Question Whole system rgb

    Is there a way I can sync the rgb of my entire system? I will have a cooler master case, asus motherboard, and I’m undecided on ram/cpu cooler/case fans. Is there some software that cane get multiple brands to sync? Or should I try to buy the same brand for each part if I can?

    [SOLVED] Which is better, 5700XT or 2070 super?

    I was going to go with the 2070 super because I had the impression that amd didn’t compete at that level, but I’ve watched some videos and it seems that the 5700xt is about the same for $100-$150 cheaper. Which is better?

    Question Good NVMEs

    Looking for 1TB of NVMe for a new build. I have a few different questions. 1) What's the difference between M.2 2280 and M.2 22110? I'm assuming the 2280 is the more popular one and likely what I will find on my motherboard, but just wanted to make sure. 2) I know that Samsungs are top on the...

    [SOLVED] Recommended PSU watts

    I like the power supply on Microcenter. I've seen that Microcenter has great deals, but I didn't even think that they would have an online store. Plus, I don't think pcpartpicker displays their prices so I found another deal I liked. Thank you.

    [SOLVED] Different types of the same graphics cards

    When I go on pcpartpicker, there are like 50 different options for the same graphics cards. For the card I'm looking at, the 2070 Super, the price ranges from 500-600 dollars. From what I can see, the only real difference is amount of fans, size, and base/boost clock speeds, but just barely. I...

    [SOLVED] Recommended PSU watts

    Are there actual sale websites online that pcpartpicker doesn't show other than eBay? The only place for me to go in person is Best Buy, next closest is a microcenter over 4 hours away. One last question, when you were talking about SeaSonic, is Focus G one line or is Focus its own and G its own?
