    I mainly use my PC for working with very large data sets in Excel for Microsoft 365, and recording on a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Googling the comparison of my 12700k to the 265K, in consideration of an upgrade, the AI Overview states: "For Excel tasks, the Intel Core i7-12700K...

    Yes, please let me know. I guess most people don't really care about such things or find a work-around.

    Mod suggestions for Cooler Master HAF XB EVO

    Yeah, I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't bother building a system in this case. I've had it for more than 10 years and never used it. That says something. So maybe building in something smaller, lighter and more modern probably makes more sense.

    Mod suggestions for Cooler Master HAF XB EVO

    Had this Cooler Master HAF XB EVO computer case for years and recently had a friend 3D print this 200mm fan adapter and this one. Just wondering if anyone knows a way to mod the front I/O Panel or change the 2x USB 3.0 Ports to 3.2 Gen Type-C ?

    Advice on buying first high-end video card to play @ 4K

    Thank you. I looked into this and read a little about Raytracing. It sounds very cool and interesting. But being new to gaming I don't know how much it matters, or whether I would notice that much in certain types of games like flight sims and RPGs.

    Advice on buying first high-end video card to play @ 4K

    Basically new to gaming and looking for a little help with buying my first video card. Listed below are the parts bought so far (from Microcenter) for a new system build. After doing some research it's become evident gaming at 4K is too much of a GPU load for most video cards to handle. I...

    Video Card Suggestions for Stock Trading Computer

    I kind of thought a flight sim wouldn't be a game that required a lot of video processing. I guess I was wrong, but thank you for the GPU sugesstions Yes, I believe I mentioned it's probably overkill and you're correct, my charting and trading platform are not CPU intensive. But I figured at...

    Video Card Suggestions for Stock Trading Computer

    The ASUS motherboard came with the CPU as a combo deal from Microcenter. It was an impulse buy ($322.99 and I had an in-store coupon for an additional $25 off). Needless to say I really didn't look into the fact that the MB only had two video ports. So hence the reason I want to go with a...

    Dell Firmware Update

    Last year (2022) I bought a Dell 4K UHD Gaming Monitor - G3223Q. I have never updated the firmware but I think I should. However I've read that updating the firmware downgrades the image quality. And that Dell does not keep copies of previous firmware files for their monitors. So I'm on the...

    HURRY - Micro Center - 12700K + ASUS TUF Z690 Combo - $350
