Thank you mda. The wifi version of the Asus TUF B550m Plus is currently the same price as the non-wifi version on Amazon, so I just put my order in. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088VXTBWR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_REW6Fb5ZK0YSS

Building a new system, this will be my first mobo with NVME SSD slots. I think I'll be using the Asus TUF Gaming B550M Plus (haven't decided yet wifi or no wifi). After some research and watching some youtube videos, it looks like I won't be able to use the full PCIe slot at the bottom of the...

I actually secured an Asus ROG STRIX 3070 from a Newegg combo deal on Friday evening. Then after doing some research I realized what a behemoth that card is and that it wouldn't fit in my case for a new system I'm building...not without some undesired modifications anyway. With regret I...

Thank you both!

What discord channel if you don't mind me asking? The channels I'm currently using didn't give me any notification at all.

Thanks for this! Thought about getting it from Steam and decided to wait. Picked it up from Greenman.

Thanks for the response, mda. This is helpful!

I'm looking at either the Asus TUF Gaming B550M-Plus or MSI MAG B550M Mortar motherboards for my next build, but I have a question regarding having 2 m.2 drives installed. The MSI board user manual says that if you have a m.2 drive installed in the second (PCIe 3.0) socket, it disables the...

I'm trying to be patient. I'm rocking my 2500K rig that was built in 2011. Only upgrades since then have been SSD's and 1 video card upgrade (GTX 670). I upgraded my monitor to a LG 27850GL back in May in anticipation of building a new system and then realized it was kind of a terrible time...

I was in this boat about a month ago trying to decide between the Asus and the LG. After reading some reviews from people that have experience with both monitors, I decided to go with the LG. Fortunately, I caught it when it was available on Amazon. I've been using it for almost a month now...

Ah, thanks for pointing out the second M.2 slot in the bottom right corner. I missed that. Also thanks for the confirmation I could use both the PCIe 2.0 slot along with the M.2 slot beside it and for noting the differences between the M.2 slots. I'm assuming there is no perceptible...

This might be a stupid question but I want to clarify before making any decisions. As mentioned in my original post, I'll be re-using a Sound Blaster Z sound card. I'm assuming, looking at the layout of the ASRock board (B450M Pro4) that m.2 SSD's fit underneath any card that is plugged into...

Thanks for putting all this information together, sinisterDei! I'll do some research based on what you provided and make some decisions. It's good to see that I'll be able to put a system together within my budget with no problem. I'll update this post with what I decide on. I'm not in a major...

I have a LG 27GL850 on the way over the next week or so, as well as a Fractal Define Mini C. I'm looking for advice on the internal components to drive this monitor. I'm coming from a 2500k and a GTX670 I've been rocking for years on a Dell U2312HM. My budget is around $1500. Obviously the...

I hadn't thought of something like this. Appreciate it, olendorf!
