    Suggestions for a pure gaming build based around a 3080 FTW3 Ultra

    If going for a 5600x, stick with the B550. Unless you want to pay premium for the 12 series components, not just the CPU but the board and memory, I would stick with AMD for that reason alone.

    Older video cards worth anything ?

    Best rule of thumb is to check sold prices on eBay and post it locally so you don't lose out to fees.

    Worth going from a i7-9700k to a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X?

    That's a tough one. I went from a 6th gen to the 5900X and I can tell the difference. Then again, I was also gaming on a 1080. Going from a 9th gen to a 5900X, maybe on certain areas of gaming and high end productivity but you are already running a 3080 with the 9th and what I am assuming is an...

    Beware of Exploding Gigabyte PSU's being Dumped by Newegg in Forced Bundles

    Crazy how I almost ended up with the 850 variant in my main PC. Luckily I got my bundle (With a 3080ti) prior to Newegg revising their return requirement.

    Been out of the DIY PC Loop for Years, Need Advice on Good CPU, Mobo, RAM. Stability, No OC, Mid-Hi Range Value (Cutting Edge, not Bleeding)

    Not sure if you need to go all the way to a Threadripper build. I am personally running a 5900x on an X570 platform and it's been running like a champ.

    PC Crashing while Playing or starting games

    Have you checked to ensure that your BIOS are updated to support said CPU? What about the voltage to the CPU? I run into the same issue with my recent build using a 5600x. PC would randomly power off when playing games. Boots up just fine. Thinking is something to do with voltage being...

    Building new pc

    Highly suggest that you use at least 500GB as your main drive and have all apps/games installed on your secondary drive. My rigs are all running variations of Samsung. I have built other systems utilizing other brands and those are all still running fine. You are paying a bit of a premium going...

    New 5800x Build, inputs?

    Nice setup. I was running something similar with a medium aio + push/pull config inside a similar case (the rgb model) and had similar temps.

    help choosing a cpu cooler and psu

    Out of those 2 CPU fans, I prefer the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360. They have good reviews and I've used Arctic products in the past on previous builds. I'm not familiar with EKWB. I've been using Seasonic PSU and really like their build quality. Based on reviews, that specific model is really...

    I think its a trap, Told I could build a new PC.

    Can always upgrade in pieces and move said hardware to a new setup later this year. 1TB NVME SSD upgrade. 3080 if you're able to find one.

    10700k to 11900k?

    If there's a need, upgrade it. When you do upgrade it, do it towards the end of 2021 so you can get some decent discount and a good run with your 10700k. Unless everything you are doing right now are being capped, I don't see the need to rush.

    5800x cooling question

    When I had the 5800x, when bench testing, I was idling at 38C and spiked all the way to 87C pretty consistently during Cinebench. This was using the H115i ELITE CAPELLIX inside the 4000x RGB.

    Best Performance CPU for $450

    Sounding like a student becoming the master situation, haha. Time for Intel to start undercutting and gives us another good dose of competition.
