    Every single part of this thing is the least efficient price per dollar possible for games and I love it
    How much did those CL14 tridents cost you? I have some CL18s to install once i upgrade to my 5900X, but i have until jan 31st to return them and willing the pay the price difference for CL16s or cL14s. Looking to use all 4 ram slots at 32GB

    Read on the RTX stock drop discord that Newegg may get some serious stock Friday but also to take at face value. I feel like the bots will get them all anyway, or that they'll drop when I'm asleep.

    I did. Have 7 of them, 3 on my 360mm rad, 3 on the front, and 1 for exhaust. They're excellent and truly did make cable management and RGB hookups much less of a chore. Like everything else though it is hard to find them in stock.

    $170 per kit for 2 kits of 8x2, but they're coming out with 16gb sticks very soon which may end up being a little bit cheaper.

    That’s a good price, the price difference will be $150 if i do an exchange in amazon.

    Building a budget PC for the GF's favorite niece because her brother broke her Xbox. All she plays is Roblox, Minecraft, and GTA V (yes that last one is definitely an outlier).

    So I've assembled the following, with the current sole objective being running GTA V at 60 FPS but with headroom if she ever wants to play something newer and needs a better GFX card.

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DkwDz7

    She loves RGB so lots of extra sparkles thrown in (also getting off---brand rainbow RGB keyboard/mouse/headset not included).

    Stuff marked as 0 is stuff I am donating to the project. The RAM and the 2600 (it's a 1600AF) are also a hand-me-downs just I'm not giving those for free.

    Friend building his first PC. What is the go-to these days for cheap Windows 10 serial keys? I haven't had to buy one like ever.

    Pretty much any site is gonna be equally dodgy. I just find a YouTuber with a referral code and use whatever one that is. Have bought 4 win10 pro keys in the last year this way and haven't had any problems.

    Cheapest non-dodgy is probably Newegg, they sell home version for $100. I'm a rube and did that last time I upgraded motherboards because I'm too sketched out by shit like Kinguin.

    As far as I know there are ways to still do the Win 7 > Win 10 free upgrade if you happened to have a 7 key.

    I think I've posted about avoiding Zotac before, but:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comm...tac_reporting/

    Just never buy anything from them. The end. They take reference cards and somehow make them worse.

    Sata drives won't match an Nvme SSD (like the ones in ps5/xbx), but whether or not it will bother you or if you'll be able to notice it at all is subjective.
