@aigomorla I will be playing a variety of games-FPS, RPG, RTS, etc. I am getting a new computer. I am considering getting the RTX 3080, but I'm concerned that the VRam won't be enough a year or 2 from now. so I'm also considering the RTX 3090. I know it's currently overkill, but I'm trying...

Thank you for the responses. So an update to this situation; I was considering getting a 34 inch ultrawide. Specifically Dell's AW3420dw. However, the things that concerned me about the monitor, is despite the rave reviews, the brightness is only 350 nits. My second concern is it has HDMI...

Hi, I am going to purchase a gaming monitor soon, but I am undecided about a few things. I will be purchasing either the RTX 3080 or the RTX 3090. 1. Is 4K or higher worth it right now? 2. If I do buy a 4K monitor, is a 27 inch monitor fine? Or do I need larger? 3. If I get a 27 inch or...

@MalVeauX I switched the OS drive to the 1 TB Samsung 970. I haven't taken a look at the headphones yet, but I will when I get done taking my impatient dog on a walk. :) P.S. I am eventually going to have a 3 Monitor setup using a Monitor Arm.

Hi, I am having some difficulty deciding on the best configuration for high end gaming. I am treating myself and splurging so I would love to have any feedback and suggestions. Right now I am mainly focusing on the CPU, Video Card, RAM, Power Supply, Storage, Monitor, Keyboard, Headset and...

@mxnerd I am liking the idea of using unRAID. That sounds perfect for what I need to do. I believe I will increase the RAM to 32 GB. Any recommendations for a good card, that isn't too expensive?

@Ken g6 Thanks for the suggestions. Based on your feedback, I am going to use fast RAM. I initially chose mine, because I wasn't sure that the motherboard would support faster. I am looking at different cases as well. I was leaning towards building it myself, since it's been awhile and I...

Hi, I am currently studying for my A+ certification and I am planning to build a budget computer to play around with. I am waiting for the new GPU's coming in Fall to get my new gaming machine. In the meantime, I plan to use this budget computer for some light gaming, perhaps as a server and...

Btw Essence of War, I noticed that the heatsink you listed doesn't seem to support LGA1150. Do you have any recommendations for one that supports that socket? Thank you, Allan

Thank you all for the suggestions so far. I really appreciate it. I am at work, but when I have time, I'll revise my list of components and then list them here for a final look over. Thank you, Allan

Oops sorry about that. Here's the answers to the questions: 1. My wife will be using this for word processing, Excel, watching movies and streams, and general internet surfing like Facebook or news. 2.Budget will be no more than $1500.00 with monitor included 3. United States 4. This will be...

Hi, I'm building a new computer for my wife. She is going to primarily use it for word processing, Excel, surfing the internet and watching videos/movies on it. No gaming. I would like feedback on the components I am using. I am using some parts that may seem a little overkill, but that's...
