    Do prebuilt PC makers have their own separate supply lines for GPUs?

    You can get a computer from ibuypower with a great video card for the price of a card alone. OEM's have preferential treatment which is why currently a person is sometimes better off buying a pre built that building their own pc.

    I've gone into most of the settings I can find in the control panel and the real tech software... I still have no right front speak (right rear works, all others work in my 5.1) I'll try the deoxit unless someone knows of any other suggestions?

    Vega 64 vs 1080ti

    I agree! New Threads like this demonstrate why we need a single standard instead of proprietary stuff. Choices like this shouldn't need to be made. Also it's black friday weekend, I want it to be 2019 so I can get a 4k 32+ inch 144hz HDR async monitor supported by whatever card I feel like...

    Data Transfer to New Computer

    Awesome. So, windows 10 will recognize the old drive and I can then copy the data over. I could then make a backup drive or keep the old system.

    Threadripper 1900X vs 1800X

    @lightiningZ71.. based on the comments here.. I'll probably stay with the 1800X. I thought gaming may be a bit more future proofed with higher cores in the future with the threadripper platform. I currently play Fallout, Mass Effect Andromeda, and my favorite games.. the Total War series :)...
