Hello all, I been having an issue with my pc whereby it randomly hangs on the motherboard logo screen on restarts and will not load windows or allow me to enter the BIOS. This can occur on any restart but seems to be more common when restarting after an update. The only way I can get passed it...

I also assume there is not much point in going for an i9 instead of an i7?

Would a 3070ti be wasted on my TV also by the way?

I may even wait it out a little more if prices for cards are inflated and buy the new rig and put my 1080 in it until I buy a 3070 when the prices are back to normal but then that could take ages. My friend has 1060 in his machine so would survive with that until I give him the 1080 also. And my...

I do not doubt you. I just got to ignore the annoying voice in the back of my head that says "its not the best though". In a few years I'll probably buy a new one or just upgrade the one I buy now depending on my budget but that is then and this is now and I'm not rich so if I can save 800 or...

I knew I had not got it quite right but I'd giving up trying to tweak it at that point. This is why I'm tying to get a bit more insight this go round. I will probably still get a whole new rig. Now I've got to decide whether to go ddr4 or 5. All the input so far may potentially help me spend 2k...

The later which I consider to be less foolish than the former. I read a lot of reviews about the components and got myself a little bamboozled with too much info and differing opinions and could never quite get an understanding off how all the separate components actually work together.

I do wonder if I could just put an RTX 3070 into my current machine and upgrade it all in a few years. I just worry that because I scaled back to an I58600k instead of the i7 version to save money at the time and only have 750w psu I would be making a mistake. This was going to be my original...

So 3080 would essentially be wasted with my TV and I am not planning on upgrading it anytime soon unless it happens to break but even then I would still have to pay out a much higher price to acquire one with higher refresh rates which I may not want to do either unless I have one the lotto by...

Sorry - was being lazy with my typing and just meant from PSC in general terms :)

Thanks for the build recommendation

Lol.. Why I came onto the forum and did not contact a sales line or such so I can get some honest opinions on my options. I work in sales albeit selling beds and furniture but I know what some sales reps can be like - more sales focused than customer focused. I work on the principal that if I...

Thank you for the information so far, It has been very helpful. I did buy my last PC here without the GPU (GTX 1080) as I already bought one to go into my machine pre i58600k which had a i74770k but for whatever reasons it just didn't seem to help (I think partly it was just getting old as I had...

I knew I would be paying more overall because I am having it built but did not think it was quite that much more...

I figured a 3080 would be overkill for me currently but I selected it simply because I have had the 80 version in all my previous machines although they were not nearly as pricey as this one. And I figured it would last longer before needing to be upgraded. MY GTX1080 is still going strong...
