Spartacus09 Thank for the info... I figure it was gonna run pretty hot but sounds like its a scorcher. I ended up finding a 5600x on the forums for slightly over MSRP so I bought that. I think that should be fine with the case I have and I can probably still use my Hyper 212 Evo to cool it if I...

I may regret it but I cancelled the 5800x. Just doesn't seem like a great buy. I honestly rather get a 5900x if I am gonna be spending that much anyway. I am probably gonna get a 9900k but I think I might need to get a new case since my Phantek P400S TG doesn't really have great airflow and the...

From what I have read none of the current cards take advantage of PCI-E 4.0 speeds and thus performance isn't greatly impacted by going 4.0 so that's not much of a concern. I am more just looking for value. I think the 5800x is not that great value to I am going to cancel the order but still...

I am okay with buying a new board and would rather not run a hacked bios. I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon after this upgrade so the dead socket thing doesn't really matter much to me. I am leaning on canceling the 5800x and just getting a 9900k and MB combo.

I am not really considering the 5600x atm cause its very hard to find unless you want to seriously overpay. I was barely able to get the 5800x ordered before it sold out. The 5800x seem to be the more accessible of the Zen 3 chips atm. I have not ordered a MB yet however.

I am planning a PC upgrade and curious what the best value is currently for gaming at 1440p. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x ordered from Amazon but as of today its not going to be shipped until late January. Curious if this is even worth the price for 1440p or if I am just better off getting a i7-9700k...

Thanks but not a fan of pfsense. The Netgear is outside of what I was willing to spend on an AP. Went with the TP-Link AX and its been great thus far.

Probably gonna get the 3080 if I can snag one before they sell out. I don't want an FE though. Aren't some of the aftermarket card coming out on the 17th too? Then plan to pair it with a Zen3 chip if the performance matches expectation.

Yeah the shitty router they supplied doesn't bridge either but a its separate device from my cable modem so I am just pulling it out altogether.

Looking to upgrade the shitty wireless router that came with my internet service. I don't really need anything with a great deal a features just reliable and secure. It doesn't have to be a router since I am replacing the router that came with my service with a Sophos XG Firewall box. Been...

He has a long history on this forum of thread jacking/crapping. He spews his "vast expertise" on any and every thing hardware related disregarding practical usage and frequently blast people for buying anything that doesn't suite his personal tastes or needs. Just an honest observation I have...

Anyone found any reviews for the ASRock cards? I can't find any... Thinking about getting the Phantom https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-5700-xt-rx5700xt-pgd-8go/p/N82E16814930023?Description=ASRock Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G OC Video Card, RX5700XT PGD...

After doing some more research based on the games I am playing at the moment I am more GPU bottle-necked than CPU so I plan to hold off as prices for upgrades to my 1080 aren't very competitive at the moment. My only real option value-wise is a used 1080ti but it still going run at least 500 so...

I don't really care to bother with O/C. I can get a 2700x (HS/F included) paired with a MSI x470 Gaming Plus at Microcenter for around $411. I think an Intel kit would probably be closer to 500 with not very must more performance.

Yeah I just looking for the best value really. So while the i7-9700k is in my budget I don't want to buy it just cause I can if I am not really going to see much of a difference at 1440p between it and say the Ryzen 2600. I would definitely like it to be a noticeable jump from my i5-7600k but...

Looking to upgrade my system in my signature, mainly so I can pass along the hardware I'm currently using to my GFs PC. Wanted to know what the best options for 1440p 144hz gaming for CPUs. I don't plan to overclock anything. I will just be needed to swap the CPU and motherboard out. I...

so you think that the other chips are overkill? I certainly don't care about benchmarks and just have the one 1080.

Yeah very fun game... Love the aspect of combining different spell trees to create different classes and how you improve your existing skills (adding new aspects to existing skills instead of just leveling it up) instead of just replacing the skill with a new one.

I am looking to upgrade my gaming rig below. I am considering the following processors i7-9700k i5-9600 i7-8700 AMD Ryzen 7 2700x I am not really looking to overclock thus the non-k options but don't want to waste money on a processor that won't really take advantage of or that isn't a good...

If anyone wants to pair up let me know. Would like to get some consistency in my team. I will admit I am not very good and almost out of $$ but still let me know if you looking for a teammate for repeat matches.

I'm assuming that each team has their own set of clues. Perhaps make it so that the clues are harder to find but that once one is found other teams can't find that clue. I guess that could make it just a race to find the clues then but there is still a chance you could stumble on the bounty...

I really like the recruiting mechanic and that if your recruit dies you lose all that is associated with that recruit (traits, upgrades, and gear). Hopefully that will make people more willing to embrace the team aspect. Lots of team based games suffer from too many one-man commandos. It took...

Key word there is was. Republicans have swallowed Trump up because he won. The majority I have witness defend him with impunity. His ideals are now those of the right. as they have lined up single file to align with his views. Again this is not all Republicans but the majority I have witness...

It's clear the comment I responded to was a rash generalization... Are you implying somehow that when "righties" make death threats it's somehow more acceptable because of the issues they do or do not support?

Death threats aren't exclusive to "leftists". "Righties" dish out their fair share of death threats. Lets not act like there is any exclusivity to that behavior. Fairly ignorant to imply otherwise.

I'll give it a go. Thanks Kyle!

The youtube reviews that I watched and the Tweaktown review I read said the AUKEY KM-G3 (listed last) was a very good buy for the money at full price. Hard to say how legitimate the reviewers are. Sadly they turned off the code pretty shortly after I posted it.

Got mine about a week ago and have enjoyed it this far. I do notice the squeaking noise mentioned by SPARTAN VI but only occasionally. It doesn't really bother me though but I can see how it could for some. Still a really good keyboard IMO for 24 bucks. The back-lighting options are pretty slick...

I have the non-backlit model with the blues and really like it a lot, so I decided to get the backlit with blues as well. I know a lot a people can't handle the noise but I am a fan of the clicky.

Plex now has support for Alexa so you can use it to voice command your HTPC interface if you use Plex. I haven't used it myself so I can't speak to how well it works but it seems pretty cool from the demo I saw.

I decided to purchase the Phanteks Eclipse P400S which comes with an LED strip and I plan to purchase 3x Cooler Master MasterFan Pro 140 Air Flow RGB fans however my Asus Prime Z270-A only has one RGB header. Do I need to purchase something like this...

Thanks!!! I think the air flow differences might possibly push me towards the Evolv. I only have the need for two HDDs and plan to replace the stock fans that come with the case with LED fans so those aren't much of a factor. The pictures on Newegg site seems to show what I thought was a fan...

I did watch a few reviews on that one. I looks like a great case. Are there any specific advantages for this one over the Eclipse P400STG? From what I can tell the main difference beside the aesthetic design is that its a bit smaller (fewer fans, etc..). I like the look of the Eclipse a bit...

I decided to upgrade my case and make my PC internals more aesthetically pleasing. I prefer clean designs. Something with a good deal of cable management room. I would prefer a PSU shroud but not required. Removable HDD cages and HDD mount on the back of the motherboard tray. I am also leaning...

The build I made yesterday that include the components I would want to keep is around 150 bucks more today. There probably still value in other builds but certain components have definitely went up in price.

Looks like they might have upped the price on these builds.
