I appreciate the Intel variant as well as the mobo alternatives. As you suggest, I'll look into some of those B660s w/ built in radios. I've only ever had one other mobo (sans prebuilts) so some reading in this area will do me good.

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an RTX 3060 TI and intend to build a new PC around this. Budget is $1500 less the $500 for GPU, located in Detroit, USA. How does this look as a 1080p gaming machine? I appreciate any and all advice. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X...

Evening. Back in 2010 I bought a Studio 540 to be used as my home computer. I use it for word processing and gaming. Gaming worked fairly well and out of the 200 games I've attempted to play the only two I've been unable to run at all were BF3 Beta and The Witcher 2. I can run Skyrim on...
