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...
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.
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

Congrats and well wishes on your new venture. Can't appreciate enough your efforts over the years. I know your worked has help a lot of us make educated purchases!!!!
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...
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.

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.
You sent me a key for the wrong version of Windows 7. Please check PM. Plus both of the keys I purchased are blocked so I need two replacements. This is pretty frustrating. Not to mention that it took 3 weeks to get the keys originally.
I am hate to have to complain like this about what seems...
I purchased 2 Windows keys from new2019 in June of last year and starting last week both keys have been blocked my MS as not genuine. I message him about this on Monday, receive a response the same day that the keys would be replaced, and have not heard back since. Please response ASAP. I am...
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.
