Hey all, I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop and would really appreciate your thoughts. I’ve been researching for days, and I’ve narrowed it down to three models—all with RTX 4060 GPUs but with different builds, CPUs, and screens. I’m leaning toward the MSI Katana 15 B13VFK (i9, 32GB...

Thanks again! I wish I could, but the only ones on display were monitors I wasn't interested in. I will decide between the LG Ultra 32", Odyssey G5 27" / 32", and Lenovo G27q-30 eventually lol

Thanks for your reply. I already use a 32" Samsung Smart TV as a side monitor but I'll probably replace it with my old 24" monitor instead, I'll see how it goes after I buy the new one. The issue that I want QHD rather than 1080p, and I can't really find any IPS 1440p displays available locally...

I'm in the market for a new monitor to upgrade my 24" FHD Samsung CRG5. I am on a limited budget and I have to buy one locally, and the local options aren't many. I have narrowed down my choices to these (from least to most expensive): 1. Acer Nitro VG270M3bmiipx Gaming Monitor 27″ IPS Full HD...

Thank you. I'll keep using the P1 for storage but I bought a different SSD that I stumbled upon, 860 EVO SATA M.2 SSD 1TB. I did a lot of research and it seems to be highly recommended by everyone, it's a bit more expensive but not by a lot, hopefully I made the right decision! Oh crap, I left...

Thank you for your thorough and informative reply. Yes, I have done more research since posting this and it seems like my best bet would be the regular Crucial P3 since I'm not really going to be upgrading/changing my motherboard any time soon due to budget concerns. I have also inspected the PC...

I have had a Crucial P1 500GB as my boot drive for many years now and it's time for an upgrade as it's done a lot of work and the health has dropped. My country's going through a pretty rough time economically and imports are few and far between nowadays so the options within my budget aren't a...

Thanks a lot for your reply! Yeah, I think I'll go with that UPS. What PSU would you recommend for my PC? I don't think I'll be upgrading the components any time soon but I don't mind replacing the PSU with something more solid, the PC shop that compiled it for me back in like 2020 recommended...

I need a small budget friendly UPS for my pc mainly because we have outages pretty often and the voltage was unstable yesterday which resulted in the psu powering itself off for protection. I do have a German-made power strip with surge protection but it’s definitely not enough. My PC...

I enabled xmp and chose a dram speed profile that’s lower than the rated speed, from 3600mhz to 3333mhz. It seems to be running fine but I’ll test it more tomorrow in Warzone. And yes, the RAM is in A2 + B2 for dual-channel. My previous RAM was a Ballistix 16gb kit and xmp was working fine...

MAG Z390 TOMAHAWK (MS-7B18) Intel Core i7 9700 @ 3.00GHz 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (MSI) These are my specs. I checked the mobo's memory compatibility list before I bought the RAM and it's supposedly 100% compatible, and should be able to output 3600MHz with OC. I'm not 100% sure...

Just replaced my Ballistix sticks with 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600 MHz CL18 RAM but every time I enable XMP in bios I get errors and can't boot to Windows. I reset bios to default settings but it still won't boot unless I turn off XMP. Screenshots of the RAM on Speccy & the error...

@512-Bit thank you so much for your thorough and informative reply, I really appreciate it. Here is the price list when converted from EGP to USD: Lenovo Y530 - $1,122 Acer Predator Helios 300 - $1,134 Lenovo Y540 - $1,226 Alienware Desktop Gaming Tower - $1,226 Custom Built PC (A) - $1,226...

The last time I even attempted to build a PC was many years ago when Intel Pentium 4 was still a thing. :LOL: I have been using MacBooks for a very long time and I have decided that it is time to build a PC for gaming as well as light rendering (Premiere, AfterEffects, and Photoshop). My budget...
