I use the Logitech K840 on my sim rig, very reliable and feels like it doesn't need a lot of force to push keys down. I use a K70 on main PC and I have to type a little harder. PS- look into Azio mechanical keyboard, maybe they don't make them anymore but it's pretty good too but uses Kahil...

Yes absolutely, Ryzen 5 5600X is worth it and the price has been dropping steadily. Ryzen 5 3600 is also good for a little less. But depending on what you do with your PC, maybe a lower end CPU would be cheaper if you don't play a lot of games which Intel has a handful of, i3 10100 or i5...

Yup, I'm thinking of throwing my 1070Ti on eBay to see how far it goes, I got lucky with my local store getting some shipments of RX 6800. I ordered a 3070 back in November and got tired of waiting while hearing about people around my area ordering theirs in Jan and getting it 2 weeks later, so...

The RAM mixing seems odd, that *could* be the culprit, you need RAM in pairs, otherwise that one 8GB stick would be underperoforming.

That's common with laptops, you can get a good quality chillpad to put underneath the laptop to help it run cooler. And yes i7 7700 CPUs do run hot, mine does and I fixed it by downvolting it to a fixed voltage a little.

I'd probably get a new PSU first, it loses efficiency over time and a 9 year old PSU wouldn't be healthy for a new GPU. And I'd say wait and get the 1070Ti, it's a fairly big jump from a 1060 and is newer.

At 1080p no not at all...

Do you have the card in the correct PCI-e slot?

"Just buy it" they said... If you're in Canada, you might not want to pay the price of these.

This article is a blatant sales pitch.

Yes 1070 is more than enough for 1440p, my RX 580 (which is lower than 1070 is) handles 1440p at ~100-120fps depending on game so you should be fine.

I didn't see mention of power supply brand, that plays a huge part in why this happened. Sucks for this to happen on such an expensive setup.

Good choice on that motherboard, 6+3 phase will let you OC that 1400 a bit.
