Yep. It was very difficult and took me a week of searching & refreshing. Finally found it in stock, store pick-up only, at a Best Buy across town and snapped it up.

Thanks! Already bought them, but thankfully they're all super cheap (~$20 together). My thinking was -- not that I know what I'm talking about -- I'd heard that the Arctic thermal paste is better than the stock stuff on the cooler, I'll want some extra zip ties because I assume I'll have to...

Thanks so much, Sizzling! I'll look into these. Will I need to confirm the PSU I decide on has connection cables compatible with each of the other components of my system, or are the connections standardized & any of the ones you've mentioned will give me what I need?

Thanks so much for the replies. Can you please recommend a reasonable PSU for this build? There's room in my budget to upgrade.

Thanks, Richard! I built my last PC in 2012 (for Diablo 3!), and it has served faithfully since then with just a GPU upgrade a few years ago. This time, I replaced the GPU again (to GTX 1660 ti) but didn't get the performance jump I needed, and found I couldn't really upgrade it further; mobo...

Hi, all. I’m building a new gaming PC (WoW, mostly) and would love if someone knowledgeable and helpful could eyeball and let me know if there are any issues or any suggestions. The PSU & SSD are leftovers from my last build. I’m most concerned about compatibility problems (none, per...

Thanks so much for the quick replies! I’m not considering replacing the PSU; hoping to find an energy-efficient (and maybe relatively outdated so as to make it cost-efficient) video card that is compatible with my current system and will provide a moderate upgrade in gameability. I looked up...

Here’s my current setup (http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/cty/pdp/spd/inspiron-3668-desktop/fdcwgam201s): Processor: 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-7400 processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.50 GHz) Video card: Intel® UHD Graphics 630 Memory: 8GB, 2400MHz, DDR4; up to 16GB (additional memory sold...

According to the first two replies, it could be: PSU; motherboard; GPU; RAM; or processor. OK, so we've ruled out the PC case, possibly. :D I hadn't opened the case in a few months (since the last dusting), and hadn't moved or otherwise messed with it since 2015, so I don't know how the...

My PC gave out on me this week and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I assembled it with parts totaling around $700 in 2012, and replaced the GPU and PSU in 2015 for around $250. It worked faithfully until last week, when it got into a constant restart loop. Here's a twenty second...

Also -- apologies if this is in the incorrect subforum. I wasn't able to find one that was more applicable.

I just bought a Turtle Beach Elite Pro Headset and Turtle Beach Tactical Audio Controller (TAC) for use with my Xbox One. The audio quality is bad. I'm assuming the reason is that I haven't configured the settings on the Xbox One correctly. There was a full guide and a video posted by Turtle...
