Not bad at all. For $35, Best Buy has a couple EVGA options you could probably pick up same day:
W1-series 600W 80 Plus: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-w1-series-600w-atx-12v-eps-12v-80-plus-power-supply-black/8511029.p?skuId=8511029
BA-series 500W 80 Plus Bronze...
$3000?!
Just go all out.

I feel that if you're looking for a monitor for differing purposes (in this case gaming and work), you have to make some compromises. Do you want a super fast response...
Nixeus Revel (looks like an Intellimouse) - found one for like $20 on Amazon for a cousin. He's pretty happy with it, especially for the price. Can't find it anymore, but eBay has them for $25. Has a Pixart 3360 optical sensor, just like all the expensive gaming mice.
Check out the Cooler Master Elite 130. Probably not as fancy as others (its around $50) but it supports ATX power supplies and longer (14" length I think) video cards. I built my cousin a Ryzen system with a GTX 1060 and a Corsair AIO 120mm liquid cooler using this case. ITX builds are kind of a...
Mine does the same thing. Pretty sure it's an inherent problem with these motherboards - Google searches reveal all sorts of strange RAM-related issues with this motherboard, aside from the typical compatibility issues with certain brands of memory. Some people report entire DIMM slots being...
My cousin purchased a CoolerMaster Elite 130 (ITX case) last year and finally got around to purchasing the rest of the system from MicroCenter yesterday. It's not a super high-end rig, but it should still be sufficient enough for gaming. I probably should have picked up a Ryzen 5 2400g, but the...
Just picked one up for a system I'm building for a cousin. $170 with a ASUS Prime B350-Plus mATX motherboard from MicroCenter ($119.99 for the 1400, $79.99 - $30 = $49.99 for the motherboard). Going to pick up an upgraded heatsink for him as well and see how far I can push it in his mATX case...
FWIW, OneNote and the "Sticky Notes" apps are completely different. Same with OneNote compared to Notepad or Wordpad, which are really just basic text editors. OneNote is a bit more powerful and allows for much better organization of text. You can also add screenshots, audio commentary, etc.
I'm always the type of person to replace the TIM on the stock coolers with something a bit better, like AS5 or Arctic MX-4. Should be good for a few degrees C.
Keyboard: Currently a Tt eSports (Thermaltake) Poseidon Z illuminated keyboard. Uses the crappier mechanical Kalih switches, but I got it for like $20 so I'm not going to complain.
Mouse: Razer Basilisk
Mousepad: Roccat Taito 3mm
Had a Razer Naga 2014 prior to the Basilisk. I play more FPS...
Yeah, I was basically getting at the fact that used Intel processors aren't very cheap. The only reason it would be cheaper is because he wouldn't have to spend another $200 on DDR4, and of course the motherboard. But MicroCenter runs great deals on CPU + mobo combos.
Upgrading to a 4790k isn't a bad idea either, especially if you're playing CPU intensive games. Single-core performance is better too, so it's all around a worthy upgrade. Looks like they still go for about $250 on eBay though, so maybe keep an eye out on FS/FT. Still more cost effective than...
:eek:What happened to this brand? They used to make quality PSU's. I haven't seen much of their stuff lately, and to be honest what I did see at MicroCenter was basically junk.
...now I'm starting to feel a bit nostalgic. Lots of brands have disappeared over the years. Remember the DFI LanParty...
I've been dealing with buyers on eBay who list their address as some shipping company in Delaware or NJ but are actually located in Russia/Ukraine/Georgia.
Had a Russian with zero feedback purchase a R9 280X I was selling. Address was some delivery service (Shopfans or something) in Delaware...
I don't even think it's possible to spend $3k on an AMD build lol
edit: I've built AMD systems my whole life (strictly out of budget) and have always been pleased with the performance per dollar. However, mid-range Intel chips from 3-4 years ago are still outperforming brand new "high-end" AMD...
Many people run 220V lines in their houses for things like dryers, air compressors (I'm talking Ingersoll-Rand air compressors with 60 gallon tanks), etc.
