Does your TV have an eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) HDMI port on it? If so connect your receiver to that HDMI port and connect the PC directly to your TV. It looks like your receiver supports eARC through a firmware update (2.70). The eARC port supports full 7.1 audio and Dolby Atmos. If...

I'll probably go for the 3080 Ti Founders Edition card as soon as it drops. I currently have a 1080 Ti Founders Edition and it has been a great card.

I went with a 10700k, but had the same dilemma as you. I see you already made a choice and can't blame you for the decision. There really isn't much difference between the two CPUs so I don't think you'll regret it. I'm sure you'll skip LGA1200 altogether.

All I know is demand is pretty high for 10th gen unlocked chips. I'm sure they'll sell out quickly.

Yeah I missed this one by like 5 seconds. Must have only had one in stock.

Madison Heights, MI (Detroit Metro) Microcenter has Intel i5 10600K in stock (x6) for $319.99. Edit: pretty sure these were gone the day after I posted this and are now OOS. Can lock thread.

I'm using a Razer Deathadder V2 mouse and CM Storm Novatouch keyboard (Topre)

There is an option in the VNC Client I'm using (RealVNC Viewer 5.2.3) to scale the display to the window size. This should do what you're wanting. No custom resolution necessary.

Completely agree here - I'm still on a 2600k (at 4.6Ghz, mind you) and it hasn't felt slow for the past 7 years I've had it.

Try Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) it's a microsoft tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44989

I, personally, wouldn't host a private cloud outside of a private VPN. If you need to share this private cloud with family members - setup a VPN server / endpoint and give them a login to it so they will essentially be on your network. For one you can control DNS, IP addressing, etc. Keep them...

Yes, $180 is close to $160. I've seen a couple BF deals this week for $180-$190 after rebate. Granted taxes would be added to that depending on where you live, and you'd have to count on the rebate actually showing up, but when we're talking a $160 vs a $200 investment I think it's worth it to...

Taxes and Shipping and Handling killed this deal for me. That brings the total to close to $160 which is too close to retail price for a new card when they're on sale.

lol went OOS like 2 seconds after I went to the page

Got a 2600X for $170 on Amazon earlier today. This is not a good price.
