    Question New build

    I've made some more changes, I've gone back to split drives because I do like having my OS on its own drive. Realized I probably don't need that much storage so I got two smaller, higher quality drives. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vLrHDZ Headphones are gone because they don't actually...

    Question New build

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8RcCVW Switched out the monitor, thanks for the list! Also consolidated the storage into a single 4TB drive. The goal is to get near top tier performance without shelling out 2k+ on a 4090.

    Question New build

    Does this seem like a reasonably balanced build by today's standards? I've built computers before but I haven't paid much attention to what's come out the last 5 years or so. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mLXDFs Also what kind of performance could I expect from a build like this? Thanks

    Looking to buy a new cable modem/router combo.

    Hello, I've had Comcast internet for a few years now and decided its time I should probably buy a separate modem/router instead of renting the one they give me. Looking to stay under $120 but also not completely cheap out, looking for recommendations! The NETGEAR N600 seems like a good...

    PC time won't update after waking up from sleep

    Hey guys, A couple months ago my PC randomly decided to stop updating the time after waking up from sleep (overnight usually). I have it set to Set Time Automatically and Set Time Zone Automatically but when I wake it up from sleep, it stays at the time that it was when I put it to sleep. I...

    PC Freezes on startup (Win10)

    I wanted to save reinstalling as a last resort. I had a spare GTX 660 Ti to test, and it seems to work perfectly fine with the latest drivers so, I guess I'll just use that for the time being. Must just be a weird issue with those particular GTX 960 drivers and my PC not getting along very well...

    PC Freezes on startup (Win10)

    Hi, I have the PC listed in my signature with Win10 installed. I don't exactly shutdown my computer every night, but I would say I restart or shut it down at least once every couple weeks. Yesterday I was having a weird issue with my PC where for some reason, in the bottom right hand corner of...

    x99 and Broadwell-E

    So I'm going to be building a system with the Asus X99-A II and an Intel Core i7-6800K which is Broadwell-E. I'm aware that "Some Intel X99 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Broadwell-E CPUs." Will I be able to perform the BIOS update with the i7-6800K installed? Or...

    Help with budget pc build

    If you don't need USB 3.0 thats up to you, but the MSI 760GMA-P34 is a MicroATX motherboard and won't completely fill out all the space in the Rosewill Challenger. So just beware that the motherboard will look small inside that case. I would still go for the Gigabyte 950 because it has dual fans...
