New PC

Hi, I'm currently trying to work out a list of PC parts for a new 1440p recording/editing/streaming setup. I mostly play indie games that aren't very taxing like Satisfactory, Celeste, Stardew Valley, Minceraft, Neon White, Terraria, Slay the Princess, Outer Wilds, etc.. Though once in a while...

I want to buy a new pc, some people have recommended this build: I saw that the case's acceptable fan height is 155 while the CPU fan height is 160, and shouldn't I take some budget from other components like MB for example for a better GPU? I want to buy the pc for game development and video...

Hello all! I'm kind of going insane here with trying to diagnose what's causing my problem so I was hoping some of you may have some insight. I built a (mostly) new PC around a week ago. In the first few days there were 2 or 3 screen freezes/stutters that lasted less than a second and I didn't...

So just upgraded to a new CPU and ran my benchmark to compare to my old 5800x and I am getting similar results in 3dmark. I was not expecting a huge jump but some sort of jump to justify the money. After lots of bios tweaking and simple over-the-clock tweaks I have never been able to match with...

I recently also had an fTMP error that i fixed with a bios cmos clear. After that I immedietly tried to load windows 11 onto the new computer but i kept getting 0xc000428 windows error codes. Nothing seems to be working and im not sure why. The computer itself registers all the components as...

Hi all, In nearly all youtube videos out there, I found info that it is not worth buying an old i7 like 4790.
