    Try to get the most current card you can. GPU market is on a steady decline, so if you can hold out for a 3XXX series card, that might be the better choice. Unless you can stumble upon a dirt cheap 2XXX series card.

    Welp. My trusty Rosewill power supply died. RIP to the 6 long years of service 🥺

    Actually had this happen to me last week. Got 6 years out of my PSU before it died.

    I'm helping a friend of mine and he is dead set on this case. He also wants to air cool. The question is will a beefy cooler like the Nocuta NH-D15 or the Deepcool Assassin III fit inside of it? I tried looking and couldn't get a definite answer, so I thought I'd try here

    Are you mix matching RAM? Is the 8GB kit one stick or two sticks? Both CAN run it, but do both models have the same timings?

    Right click, save image. That easy

    Check the manufacture's site? My x570 board is already compatible with Windows 11.

    Before the pandemic, my 2080 Super came in plastic wrap and box was sealed from Amazon. Bought straight from Amazon. I can't say how they are packaged now since I haven't bought one recently.

    Did you use DDU? It will clean up previous drivers and hidden display drivers. When switching over to AMD from Nvidia or vice versa, its recommended to run it so you'll have a pure and fresh installation of the driver you're getting.

    The RX 6500 XT is so terrible it is even worse…

    Awesome deal considering the amount of inflation we're going through

    Always top slot. 3.0 will work in 4.0 slot

    I assume you plugged in the right power connectors as well? You didn't plug the PCI cords into the CPU 4 pin?

    Would you happen to have a new RAM kit to test? Was your B550 ready for your CPU before installing? I know sometimes mobos need updating before putting new gen CPUs in them.

    Have you checked your power settings?

    Generally a good rule of thumb is getting the best two performing sticks at the capacity you want. Unless we are talking threadripper, then four sticks is not necessarily better than having two.

    Are your audio drivers and usb drivers updated on the motherboard?

    Do you have the paid subscription tier for Netflix? You can't have the basic plan and stream 4K.

    AMD is doing a refresh of the 5XXX CPUs and eventually moving to DDR5 at some point. Price marks are going to be coming in on the 5XXX and 3XXX chips again soon.

    There's only so much overclocking you can do since its a non-X CPU. I'd just go full chonk with Noctua and not worry about it.

    Between those two GPUs, the 1050Ti is better. Also depends what you play and what resolution you're trying to play on.

    The 6700k is aging. I'll say for what my wife plays its fine. She doesn't run any MMOs but plays Sims 4, Apex Legends, and Halo Infinite. Its also paired with a GTX 1070 and overclocked to 4.7GHz.
