actually never mind, I found the Corsair RM750e locally. just changed the list to it.

Needs 128 oz edition with dual handles.

For a half gallon of water It definitely makes sense to me to have an appropriately sized handle for lugging that beast around, something I can securely wrap my hand around, like the kind of handle on a paint can, but beefier, 3'4" - 1" grip diameter.  Also having a big hole to shove my hand in for cleaning would make this perfect. 

this is a post I made for my friend, he was hesitant to mess with BIOS settings. I convinced him I would help him with the BIOS settings so he wouldn't get lost, we turned ON XMP and OC'd his 10700k to 5.1 and now the performance seems fine. thanks for the help.

It's like having a nice piece of steak, then smothering it with ketchup. 

I gave my opinion on what I would buy at his chosen price point of $120(The VRM is good enough and give benefits of x470. Which is what I would pick personally) However for r5 you don't NEED an amazing board....so you could choose cheaper...

I do not like wifi built in. Drivers. physical damage, can't transfer it to another computer if you begin to want the benefits of Wired Networking. added manufacturing cost/complexity to the board, when I would want that allocated to other things. Unable to upgrade.

USB wifi Has extremely little issues and can be fixed quite readily, easily.

though I did agree with your above post (if you didn't notice). There are tons of options for decent enough AM4 boards that you just have to decide what you want and can get it.

VRM wise the B450 Tomahawk and the X470 gaming plus are very similar, with a smaller heatsink on the x470. for a 3600 or possible upgrades. both are a go to for AM4 socket, with great features at the price point. The pro carbon b450 is also a good choice if you don't want the 2nd NVME and want the WIfi

oh..and i wasn't comparing the pro carbon. but the aorus pro. with the MSI choices.

This is decently useful

It looks pretty good. I would go to a Dual channel setup for the RAM since it does help in some cases. and ryzen does like speed...so if not much more...a 2666/3000/3200 kit would be badass

Bequeit is a great heatsink brand. but if extremely budget minded the stock heatsink is perfectly fine for non-OC, and I think the 42$ Mugen 5 is too good price/perf to spend anything more than 20$ on a cheaper heatsink.

but generally looks pretty good. and if the cousin does get into computers at all..this thing is set for future upgrades (like the 3000 series after the 4000 series comes out) and having the two NVME slots, though you could cheapen mb if extremely budget.

....when I was 14-16 my parents went behind my back and got my cousin to build me a computer(he is software guy, dabbles in hardware)
and he completely screwed me over. It;s awesome that you care to put effort for your family, and I hope they realize and appreciate it.

I just looked at the WD reviews and people are complaining about that drive as well. seems like all HDDs fail or people only write reviews when things fail not when it's working well.

Just looked at your Goliath, pretty sweet rig bro. awesome work.

50 USD more for m.2 with very very minimal improvement in load times seems not worth at all to me.

DVI will almost always support 144HZ but only at 1080p
 
No one uses the DVI-I (Single and dual Link), DVI-D (Single link) or DVI-A (shown below).
You will only find DVI-D Dual link these days. Which is what that amazon product is. You can tell because it has a full range of pins (except the 4 squares on the left like DVI-I Dual and Single link has.
 
 
 
HDMI
 
That is a HDMI 2.0 cable because it can do 1080p240 and 1440p144

I use HDMI on my main monitor and DVI on the side ones personnally. I you want to run audio, put HDMI into the one with better sounding speakers, but if you run into issues for any reason, it isn't hard to just swap them

HDMI > VGA

Your 970 has 2x DVI ports, not VGA. 
 
There's a big difference between VGA and HDMI, but not so much between DVI and HDMI. 
 
HDMI on the 970 will support 144Hz, as will the DVI. Picture quality is the same, just DVI doesn't carry audio. 

Hey everyone. I currently own the Sennheiser PC 363d which has been through a lot since 2013 roughly, my brother bought it and moved on then gave it to me. and I'm looking for new headphones now as mine is starting to have sound quality issues as the adapter is starting to disconnect sometimes and suddenly the max volume has been reduced massively, anyway. my budget is around $100. I use headphones for Gaming and Music mainly. and I've discovered that 'Gaming headsets/headphones' and 'Surround' and all this fancy shit doesn't really add anything and all is a marketing fluke. waiting for suggestions. side note: I want nothing that is razer or Logitech. Thanks for reading.

Oh you are right i totally forgot about the drivers!
