Is too much speed a problem? Or is it just a cost issue?

Hi all, I posted earlier and got some good feedback but I can't seem to load that earlier thread, hoping some of those guys find this one. I'm using this as a gaming build, looking to run modern games at 1440 or possibly 4k. I've taken in the feedback and have developed a part list - can I ask...

Would this change if I was looking for 4K?

Gaming and some video editing in Adobe. Those are the two primary things but 99% gaming. I usually edit on my Mac.

Ty! Responded below to next post (fyi)

Looks like everyone is recommending an i7–can you help me understand why that would be better over the newer generation? Is it that just cost to performance isn’t enough? Would you recommend a 4070 also or would this only work with my existing 3060? Finally, are cases universal or do I need...

Gaming mostly. Happy to take recs for coolers. What do you recommend?

Thanks for the advice! Just updated my post. Hope that helps. Yeah I'm not sure what I need to know re: PSU, but more than likely will just buy a new one to be safe. Do I just need to make sure I cover my wattage?

Hi all, Here's a part list I've started: https://newegg.io/0766c28 Approximate Purchase Date: ~Black Friday Budget Range: $1.500 System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming Are you buying a monitor: No Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If...

Sorry for the delay, haven't really had a chance to game. I just ran a few games and it seems like yes, it's a little better. Though still seeing some newer games running at below 30fps, so I think I'll go ahead and grab that card anyway. A birthday present to me! Really appreciate your help :)

I reset the BIOS to default and now it's rebooting. And it removed the overclocking, so I think crisis averted... for now haha. Thanks for your help.

I’ve got 2, one SSD and one HDD. My OS is on the SSD, and it’s top in boot priority. Is there a way to revert bios to last used setting?

Oh boy… I reset bios to default now I’m getting a boot error (inaccessible boot device). Any ideas?

I’ll probably grab that NVidia card, at your recommendation. I’d like to stay under $70 for the PSU.

I’ll try changing the OC—thanks for the advice! Can you recommend a power supply?
