This suits well in my target budget. If I understand correctly, B650E is the Extreme? Enhanced? . I was too focused on the X870 that I overlook this one entirely. Yes I read about that T500 and DRAM cache which I think will fit well with Flight Simulator, and it is already waiting in my cart...

My bad it was an unrealistic pricing goal. I could remove the SSD (re-use my SATA SSD instead). Dospara (www.dospara.co.jp) and PC Koubou (www.pc-koubou.jp) are my main go to for PC parts here in my area. Amazon Japan sometimes is hit or miss. That is what I read most of the time. I do not...

Thank you for the response. So this means option 2 will be a better starting point? Is the difference between the chipsets negligible in my use case? I have edited also the template thank you. Approximate Purchase Date: December 2024 Budget Range: around $400/JPY60,000 max for CPU/MOBO/SSD/RAM...

I have relocated my AM4 setup to my living room SFF PC and now my current ATX case and fans are vacant. I plan to go AM5 platform and is undecided on which motherboard option is best for me. I play mostly esports titles, 1080p, sometimes AAA games but with manageable expectations, and my upgrade...

Hello everyone! Currently having a growing interest in building a home server. I am still in the process of reading different guides and videos and honestly overwhelmed and my knowledge of PCs is mostly in gaming so hardcore coding, networking and environment other than Windows is still unclear...

Can you please suggest me which of the following below will be the best deal? 1080p, light gaming and general use whenever my computer room is occupied with guests. (I have desktop PC already). I am eyeing for AMD APU since I saw better performance over Iris XE for lower price. Planned games...

This is what I was looking for! The reason for my question is I am confused to whether go to that 1000 series headstart, partially buy parts and replace etc. I wanted to go something that I can still use some of my current parts to fit the budget. I will take this suggestion and hopefully can...

That is what I have been doing for a year now which circumstances did not allow me to purchase new setup no matter how I want. The budget thing, it's just our arrangement. Thank you for your advise.

Just got an approval from my wife to buy anything PC related worth $250. Yes you read it right. My current 10 years old PC specs is below: i3 3245 Gigabyte LGA1155 SATA SSD 1TB 2x8GB DDR3 1333 GTX 1050Ti FSP 600w 80+ bronze 23-inch 60Hz 1080p monitor I was planning to buy a 3770k and GTX...

Ok so to confirm my understanding, a pair of DDR3-1600mhz will run at 1600mhz to my motherboard with an Ivy bridge i3-3245 that says support for DDR3 1333mhz and DD3 2200mhz for XMP (w/o using XMP as you have mentioned). If it is correct then I shall proceed buying a used DDR3 1600Mhz instead...

Thank you for your response. I have only 2 slots of RAM and my current sticks are 4x 2GB DD3 1333. I plan to replace both entirely with pair of DDR 1600. Having said that, will it run at 1600mhz using XMP or still 1333?

My motherboard is Gigabyte Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 rev 3.0. Specs: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-DS2-rev-30/sp#sp I plan to upgrade from 8gb to 16gb ddr3 RAM and as per my mobo's specs, maximum speed of RAM will be 1333mhz with support for 2200mhz (OC) modules. I searched that when...

Gonna be hard for a side-by-side comparison as I need to sell this 23inch first. But I'll take your advice and go for 27 inch. I tried to visualize a 32 inch monitor using tape measure and indeed it is quite big or too close.

Hi all. I would like to ask recommendation and advise for monitor size to purchase. I cannot attach the diagram I made with my current table setup so let me list it here. Table: IKEA Utespelare 160cm x 80cm (link) Current Monitor: ASUS VX239H 23" AH-IPS GPU: Kuroshio Geforce GTX 1050Ti My...

Thank you for your response! I have somehow an image of the next step of my current setup.
