Noticed a lot of questions about upgrading power supplies. This should handle anything you throw at it. https://www.newegg.com/evga-supernova-850-ga-220-ga-0850-x1-850w/p/1HU-00J7-004V4 EVGA SuperNOVA 850 GA, 80 Plus Gold 850W $120 after discount and mail in rebate. It's sold and shipped by Newegg, not a 3rd party, which should make it easier if you have any issues with it.

KS posted:PCPartPicker Part List It's a little late but you might check out the Phanteks 600. Its a pretty quiet hybrid case with removable panels to increase air flow when needed. https://www.newegg.com/black-phante...&quicklink=true

How accurate is microcenters website for specific stores? There is a store 2 hours away that says it has 3060tis in stock but only for in store purchase. I don’t want to make the drive if they don’t have the card.

Steve Jorbs posted:Supply shortages and crypto mining incentivizing bots and scalpers to snag up all available stock. RTX 3060 is dropping tomorrow if you care to get in on it. How does one go about doing that? Keep refreshing Amazon and NewEgg or will they be in store at BestBuy and Micro Center? I don't follow drops, I just check the local Best Buy and Micro Center websites every day to see if they get anything in stock.

Over the last few months I've been buying parts for a new build as they have gone on sale. Now I'm down to the parts that are nearly impossible to get. My time between new builds has consistently been seven years. So I don't mind buying a little more RAM or a better CPU. Current build i5-4690K on an ASRock motherboard with 16 gb of DDR and an EVGA 1070. What country are you in? USA What are you using the system for? Mostly gaming, light 3d modeling for 3d printing, and also some video editing for the wife's Instagram. Budget Don't really have one. Wife and I are planning to start a family so this is going to have to last me for at least seven years with maybe a GPU upgrade. Parts I've already bought. Case Phanteks P600S $145(on sale)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1MBZ1W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Memory Crucial Ballistix 32gb 3600 CL 16 $210 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083VN3CP1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 SSD SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus 2TB $240(on sale) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MFZXR1B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Power Supply EVGA Supernova 850 GA $120(after mail in rebate) https://www.newegg.com/evga-superno...004V4-_-Product Monitor Nixeus EDG 27 https://www.newegg.com/black-nixeus-nx-edg27-v2-27/p/3D4-000B-00003?Item=3D4-000B-00003 Parts I need. Mother board Looking at the Asus B550-F WiFi https://www.microcenter.com/product/624592/asus-b550-f-rog-strix-gaming-(wifi)-amd-am4-atx-motherboard and the MSI MPG Gaming Carbon WiFi https://www.microcenter.com/product/625912/msi-b550-mpg-gaming-carbon-wifi-amd-am4-atx-motherboard Is it better to get wifi built in or just buy an aftermarket card? Both boards have 2 NVMe slots, does it matter which one my SSD is plugged into? I plan to get a Gen 4 NVMe when prices become reasonable. CPU I want a 5900x but the only thing available is the 5600x. I'm thinking of getting a 5600x for now and then a 5900x when stock become available. GPU Just going to carryover my 1070 till I can get a 3070 or 3080. CPU Cooler Can't decide between the Noctua D15 or the Noctua U12. I know the 12 is ok for the 5600x but how about the 5900x Just making sure I'm not missing anything.

Vir posted:The only real difference is how much space it takes up. A built-in WiFi card can literally be the exact same controller as on a plug-in card, only that it's hard-wired to the board. The CPU and OS doesn't see any difference. The advantage to a card without a WiFi module is a slight cost saving and perhaps an extra M.2 or PCIe slot, maybe. Also some WiFi controllers double as the Bluetooth controller. Cool, I just wanted to make sure that the boot drive didn't have to be in a specific position on the board. Thanks for the info.

Is a Noctua NH-U12s enough to cool an AMD 5900x or should I just get the NH-D15?

Finally got my 5900x tonight. The Micro Center in St. Louis(Brentwood) has 10+ AMD 5900x's left in stock. They will probably be gone sometime tomorrow.

In the process of building my system. My motherboard has 2 slots for nvme drives, a pcie 3 and a pcie 4. My ssd is a pcie 3. Does it matter which slot I use? I would like to keep the pcie 4 slot open for when/if I ever get a pcie 4 ssd.

Helter Skelter posted:No, not particularly. In theory, by using the 3.0 slot you're sharing bandwidth with anything else hanging off the chipset (the 4.0 slot is wired direct to the CPU), but you'd be hard-pressed to notice anything unless you're using an extremely high performance drive while also stressing the system in some very unnatural ways and looking for the (likely microscopic) difference. Cool, thanks. Nothing else will be on that since I'm not carrying over any of my old drives.

If I pull my 1070 out of my current pc to put in my new build, do I have to do anything special to use the integrated graphics on the 4690k?

Quick question. Finished my build. Everything works great except the Ethernet on my motherboard. I can only connect to the internet using the wifi. Did I miss something in the bios? I'm using an ASUS b550 F wifi.

Do I have to install Armory Crate(ASUS motherboard) to adjust my fans and RGB or is there a recommended non bloatware program to use.?Pilfered Pallbearers posted:Did you install the Ethernet driver from ASUS’s site? It finally worked the third time I installed the drivers. Weird that the WiFi worked right off the bat, but I had to install drivers for the ethernet.

Copper Vein posted:Is Bluetooth support built in standard with current wifi 6 adapters? Or included with Intel's ax200 and the like? The ASUS B550 ROG Strix F with wifi has bluetooth built in, but it is $30 more.

My parts before the build a few weeks ago. Not pictured is the EVGA 1070 that pulled from my old pc. I'll post the final build after I clean off my desk and do some cable management.

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-F...Y2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1 This is what I have. It's well made and sounds great when recording. The build quality feels much better than the $80+ Razer Seiren mic that my parents got me this last Christmas(I returned it for a gift card).

Ok, stupid question. I bought a Phanteks Neon rgb strip https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-neledkt-m1-rgb/p/N82E16811984032. It's a 3 pin 5V but my ASUS motherboard only has 4 pin 12v connections, and stupid me thought it would connect to my Phanteks case. What's the best way to connect the LED strip? I bought a Phanteks adapter but it has the wrong connections(all 4 pin).

MonkeyFit posted:What motherboard do you have? My Asus board has both. Yup, after checking the manual again the ADD Gen 2 Header is what I was looking for, I had been trying to figure out how to connect it to RGB_Headers 1 or 2. Like I said, stupid question. Thanks for the help, I was going crazy trying to figure it out.
