Hey everyone, I'd like some help making sure I thought of everything and if y'all could catch any problems or things I might want to change with my build. pcpartpicker So for the things missing from that list. Rack Mount Case I have alot of storage: 3x Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB 3x Western...

Ah good point, I didn't realize Raptor Lake came out Oct 20. And since its still LGA1700 i wouldn't have to switch the mobo. Maybe I can also wait for the actual release of the 4000 series cards to get an even further drop in price on the 3000 series. Most modern games the 3000 series handles...

Hey everyone! Y'all have always had solid adivce so I come here first before finalizing on a PC build. PC Part Picker I'm pretty partial to Intel processors and I want 64 gigs of ram. This machine will mostly be used for gaming, VR, and I usually run 2-3 virtual machines (not all the time but...

Well TrunksZero you totally saved the day, the 2 Sennheiser PC38Xs worked perfectly! Had to do very minor tweaking with voice activation levels but otherwise no work at all. Thank you very much!

I hadn't heard of the PC38X, I justed order 2 pairs and I'll try them out in our next gaming session to report on if my voice is picked up on her mic, good recommendation! And true, I'm not playing on starting a music career and I don't stream often, so its probably not worth investing $2000+.

Hey everyone, I've asked around but I haven't gotten any solid answers on this. I'm a total audio noob, so hoping you use y'all expertise. I’m needing some PC audio help/advice. In my current office situation, my wife and I both have our gaming rigs and desks side by side, around 5 feet apart on...

I'd be interested in this is still available.

I didn't know any of this, thanks for the detailed reply! So from what I understood, using the #2 x16 I would be slowing down/interfering with my GPU, which is currently in the top most x16 PCI slot. I need to either use the #3 x16 slot or use any of the x1 slots?

Yeah sorry I meant the 970 Evo. I'll take a look at that cheap one you linked. I'll take a peak at the manual and see what it says, I know if I used both on board M.2 slots it will disable some sata ports but that's not an issue and the only think I have in a PCI slot current is my GPU.

Hey all, I'm looking for a recommendation for a M.2 NVMe PCIe adapter, I have 2 Samsung 870 Evos 1TB and I want to add a third. I have a ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) and I'm currently using the 2 M2 slots on the board, so I figured PCIe could be the best to add another one (maybe 2). So...

Any other takes on this?

I did kinda think the i9 was a little overkill, I just didn't know if the i9 might give a performance boost for the VMs since I usually allocate 2-4 cores per VM

Hello everyone, I was luckily able to secure a 3080 and I want to build a PC quickly around it since I have no idea when other PC parts will be unobtainable. PC Part Picker I think I have everything I need in there but I'm super caught up in the hardware game to know if there is something I'm...

Any ideas where I might find a GPU to pop in here? I'd prefer anything in the RTX 20 series since the 30 series will be impossible to find.
