Would you buy the following pre-build setup or still wait for the 3080Ti? I am in need of a new computer asap and it is only getting worse... * AMD Ryzen 9 5950X * G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB * Samsung 980 PRO 2TB * GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming OC 24G * ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING * be quiet!

Re: monitors I found I very much prefer Ultrawide: More flexibility in window arrangement, no annoying 'break' in the display, no color mismatch between displays (might just be mine though), comparably lower power use than two devices and less space occupied on the desktop - e.g. less cabling and only one foot in the way.…
Hi, Very helpful forum. I am thinking to change form Mac to PC and found in very reasonable price can built good system. I dont have enbough budget but... around 4K I can invert for now.

@RevoMA I should have said "will probably be much easier". The reason I said that is because AMD has committed to sticking with the same motherboard socket through at least 2020, while Intel has not commented on how much longer theirs will be supported. Intel also has a track record of switching sockets more often then AMD…
@Varoun I had the 720 for a few weeks. It was a fast, great looking computer, with an amazing screen... but then I noticed my screen was starting to get the windows menu burned into the screen. That combined with the 4-6 hour battery life (expected with dedicated graphics), occasionally stuck shift key, and the very easy…
Ugh... The saga continues. Things I've tried so far... Re-seated all hardware components Verified RAM is good with MEMCHECK Installed a new SSD... Couldn't even get through a fresh install of Windows without BSOD. That leaves me with Motherboard, CPU, GPU (seems unlikely to be the GPU I think) or power supply (maybe?).…

@PolyHertz Hey again, thanks for the notes they were super helpful! I've put together a PC using Scan.co.uk's custom PC builder. I started with the "Intel Socket 2066 Skylake X High performance PC" as the base and followed your guide much more carefully. Here's what I have so far: - CPU: Intel Core i7 7820X Unlocked,…

Ok then. Here's a few quick notes to help: CPU: The X99 platform that you chose has been succeeded by the X299 platform, so no new chips are being released for it. If you want to go with a workstation class socket such as the X299 get a CPU with at least 8 cores (like a i7-7820X), otherwise the 8700K will be cheaper and…
