Hey so I am building a new PC around the 3080 and since it is looking more than likely that Intel is the better CPU to pair with the card I am thinking of getting an Intel CPU. Unless 1440p benchmarks come out and show that there is no difference between Ryzen and Intel at that resolution I will...

Hey Guys, I am about to build myself a brand new gaming pc (super excited) just waiting for the Ampere launch and things should start to get in motion. However, not sure what to do about my monitor. I am aiming to get a 3080 so am definitely looking at upgrading from my current 1080p 144hz...

Yeah I guess no one really knows exactly how the Ampere launch is going to turn out and what it might mean. I think I am going to just wait and see before I make any major buying decisions. That seems to be the safest course of action. But thanks a tonne for your input, really appreciate it!

Yeah probably worth going for 3100 then. I might just wait and see what happens with benchmarks and see if PCIe 3 vs 4 actually makes a difference. If it doesn't I might go Intel considering this is just a gaming PC.

Thanks for your input ! Appreciate it. I wanted to go with a 3100 since like you said it won't be used for long, however, I thought that would be too much of a bottleneck considering a 3080.

Hi Guys, So I am building a new gaming PC with the upcoming Ampere GPU's (likely getting a 3080 - depending on price) however, since they are more than likely going to use PCIe 4.0 I would prefer to use a platform that can take advantage of it (maybe not right away but possibly in the future)...

Hey Guys, So I am building a PC and going all out as this will be my only build for many years to come. I recently just ordered an Intel i9-10900K as I figured that this is only a gaming rig, I may as well get the best of the best for my use case. I snapped up the 10900K as stock is hard to...

Hey Guys, I am building a new PC very soon (just waiting for Ampere to release) and am having trouble deciding on my CPU cooler, so I was hoping for a good recommendation. I will be cooling a 10900K inside a Phanteks P500A. I would prefer to use an AIO as I like the look. It doesn't have to...

I will be cooling a 10900K with maybe a slight overclock to an all core 5.1 or 5GHZ (Depending what I am able to do) and the GPU will be a 3080 or whatever the equivalent is.

Just wondering what is ideal for a 360mm AIO. Currently looking at using the Coolermaster MasterLiquid ML360R unless someone recommends anything else. If I mounted top I would have the fans exhausting and if front they would be intake obviously. Also, would be mounted in a Phanteks P500A FYI...

Any recommendations on CPU AIO then? Sorry for being stupid/a hassle I just haven't built a PC in quite some time, so don't really know what products I should go for. Also don't want to make a mistake with the CPU cooler as it is a very important component, especially with the 10900K...

And if I don't want to liquid cool the GPU?

Looking at getting a 3080/3080ti depending on price when it comes out. Obviously we cannot know how hot these things run but just assume worst case?

Yeah I thought that it would be an issue in that case. Say if I went with P500A, what would be your recommendation for an AIO?

Any thing else you would recommend? Would you suggest like 280mm top mounted instead? Thanks for your input!
