GPU prices have lowered a bit I think. This is what I’m going with in September, except the mobo is just a fill in since the board I want will be restocked mid-Sept. Main wonder here- is a 3090 worth it at all, or should I be perfectly fine on a 3080ti. Display will be aw3423dw. It’d be cool...

I guess I mean, are you shooting for 50% load? 75%? New gen cpu and gpu look scary.

What components are the main contributors to wattage load? What’s the ideal sweet spot when speccing a power supply?

I think supports. Good point as I don't think the processor gives it either.

After my last thread I went back and came up with this: Case COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500M GAMING CASE (Front PSU shrowd and HDD casing removed, and glass front removed for mesh) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Primary purpose...

Ever feel like you're missing out by not shooting for the neo?

Is refresh a trade-off for higher res? Do you have to either have ultra-realistic still images or smooth movement? I remember you said you loved your G9. Do you ever feel like you're missing out with HDMI 2 vs HDMI 2.1? The refresh on that size of a display sounds so impressive. And then I...

I'm planning a build with the hopes of a 4k ultrawide display in late 2023. For now I'm looking for something at least 32" under 1k£ I'm seeing some 4k screens of that size, but I generally notice a 60 refresh. Such as: Samsung U32R592 32 Inch Curved UHD 4K Monitor - Ultra HD 3840x2160...

What effect does the rad have on airflow, btw?

Back with another question. Was watching an h500m build: It looks as if he ran into clearance issues with the top mounted rad and exhaust fans when he got to the AIO portion. Given my h500m case, Mobo, and the h150i, would we hit the same problem? In the video, Bitwit addressed it by...

Ah - good question. I'm just getting to the end of my new dad phase. Kids are more independent, and by god I have a long list of AAA to get cracking on. I never even got to enjoy Skyrim, y'all! Lol is my main for keeping up w my USA friends, but beyond that I'll probably work with rust, one AAA...

Awesome guidance there. And then of course adding in a larger capacity is purely a case of available budget afterwards. Thanks!

Can anyone share some advice on storage? I'm reading some posts mentioning m.2 sticks perform best while below 50%. Does this encourage higher capacity 1st slots? Or do you still want to keep it on the small side? Beyond that, what is the benefit of adding additional m.2s? From a cost-benefit...

Oh dude - hows that G9 treating you? Does it.... blow your mind?!!

I thought as much. A Christmas gift, maybe? I think my last question until new tech drops or the Fall is... what exactly are you missing out on with i7 class CPUs (AMD too) vs the i9? i9 is really beginning to feel like a hobbyist chip or one for some serious rendering.
