Have a 3090 currently but am severely bottlenecked. Looking to get the best possible PC that I can build through microcenter in Kansas City. Looking for high end so like 13900k and ddr5 ram. [Reply]
Is there a specific reason for choosing a mini ITX case and motherboard? They are annoyingly small and usually lack a lot of common features. You might have trouble finding a decent GPU that will fit inside it.. [Reply]

I like the smaller form factor and we don't need to play games with the highest fidelity. Mostly indies in this house. [Reply]
Fair enough, had seen it whenever I got on Amazon to look for something, didn’t even think about looking to see if it was worth posting. Thanks for checking it since I was a dumbass [Reply]

5900x is just a dead CPU. If you are on AM4, the best upgrade is probably the 5700x or if you strictly want to grab the best gaming CPU for the platform its the 5800x3D.
I just picked up the 5800x3D at the $290 "Black Friday sale" price. Still $20 more than the lowest its ever been, but when it's the day of Black Friday and not even Microcenter is coming down then $290 seems about the best its going to get right now. Such is life. [Reply]

I built my daughter a gaming machine with and ryzen a couple years ago and its been pretty impressive I think but I am not a gamer.
My sons due and he is pretty anxious but I feel may be a better bundle coming after xmas? [Reply]

I've never had a problem with those places selling OEM PRO license keys; these are typically from company installations where they use an enterprise key instead of the keys from the original equipment.
Most of the time, if you add a Microsoft Account to your Windows 10 license, you can upgrade the hardware and then transfer the key to the new machine. So you upgrade to hardware that supports Windows 11 from an older machine and just let the auto update do it's dirty work. [Reply]
My gaming PC started not showing as available via HDMI cord to both of my TV's. I tried 3 different HDMI cables, none of them have worked with the PC, but they do work with my bluray player. Any ideas? [Reply]
i bought this shitty chinese rybozen capture device so i could record the output coming from the HDMI port on my video card
plugged it in and it shows up as fine as a third monitor in the control panel
OBS simply won't see the device though - am I missing some stupid setting? why would the HDMI output on my video card register differently than the HDMI output on say, a cable box?
I'm tempted to say it's just a POS but maybe I'm missing some stupid windows setting? the desktop is extended to the HDMI out [Reply]
Just purchased at 7900XTX to replace my 5700xt... Performance is laughable in a good way. But the fucking GPU is damn near 13 inches (Enough to make a man nervous)
Anyways ended up having to buy a new case. Went with the 5000D Corsairs case. And I'm super impressed with build qaulity. [Reply]
