I have an EVGA 1000G Gold Power 1000w PSU. The thing is... it's probably seen about 8 to 9 years of service but that "service" has been far below what the PSU is capable of. This thing has never been pushed or strained. I'm pretty sure what I need to consider is age. And that's what brings me...

Thank you, a lot of great info here. To answer a couple of the above questions.... 1. I'm running 3200 Ram 2. Running 32in Monitor 1440 @165hz refresh

I have a 1000w PSU (I believe in overkill). And yes, I do have a Micro Center near me.

I'll skip the editorial. The last game I played was COD-MW. For someone who doesn't game much (any more) my Radeon RX570 let me play it at what I considered an acceptable level. Yes, I can feel you all cringing right now. I miss the heyday when (great) FPS games were coming out 3 times year...

I understand that this might not be the wisest upgrade but I expect my current build to last me another 4 years. Waiting and dumping more money into a AM5 config just doesn't make sense for what I do. This AM4 config is more than I should need for a long time to come. Throwing another $350 -...

Currently running Ryzen 7 3700X with 32gb ram on an Asus X570 mobo. I am not a power user and not much of a gamer. Just an enthusiast. My most "demanding" software is Steinberg's Cubase. Even though my current configuration is doing everything I need it to do I would just like to add some...

First things first... Build Ausu TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) Ryzen 7 3700X Corsair DDR4-3200 / 32Gb C: Corsair Force MP600 M.2 1TB It has been several months since I ran any SSD speed tests. Previous tests showed the drive to be behaving as expected i.e. 4900/4700 (MB/s). The other day I...

kirbyrj - Thank you for the further clarification. I am aware of what you've stated. My biggest concern and confusion was that I wasn't sure if an NVMe drive would run at it's full potential unless it was specifically noted in the board's specs. It is now my understanding that if my new board...

Thank you! I had a feeling that was it but due to the way some sites describe the features of their mobos I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks again!

After a very long time away from the technical side of computers I find myself dealing with a unfamiliar set of specs and protocols. I'm starting to spec out a new build. But as I do, I've run into a few speedbumps. I'm hoping someone here can help me with these questions. I plan on building...

If the Mobo says nothing about NVME but is PCIe 4.0 does this mean it is NVME complient? I'm not sure if I'm asking that correctly. One of the concerns I have is being able to use the NVME as a boot drive. Any suggestions on mobos with fewer features that are not targeting gamers? Mostly...

My current rig, Core i5-2500, Asus P8Z68-V Pro and SATA spinners is way overdue for an upgrade. I need the communities help verifying compatibility of various new technologies that I am not familiar with. Although I don't really have a ceiling on price, I'm not looking to go bleeding edge...

This problem started out of nowhere. Upon a 1st boot of Win10, the onboard network card is not recognized. Once I "restart" the computer, it is recognized and works as expected. After trying to figure this out, I found out that if I leave my monitor turned off during the initial boot and...

I'm just not ready for a new build. My days of building a new computer every 2 or 3 years are long behind me. Right now I use it mostly for photos in LIghtroom and Steinberg Cubase. All the software is dated just a little after the time of this build and runs perfect. Basically I'd just like...

What about memory on the card? It looks like most are coming in 2 flavors... 3 or 6 gb
