by the way, my keyboard is rgb backlit, will it cause any issues with power draw? I am thinking about connecting this keyboard(k95 plat), mouse (hero 502) and an led strip to the splitter

Are there any performance gains in using USB 3.0 ports for peripherals like Keyboard, Mouse and Headphones? I got a rift recently and I need a few extra 3.0 ports for the sensors. If I use a splitter to split one 3.0 port to say 4 type A ports and connect my keyboard, mouse and headphones to that (so essentially they all share a single usb controller) will it result in any performance drops ?

New fans and rgb strips. I may have overdone the rgb parts, but pretty happy with the end result ? Oh and finally got to fit the old sentry3 fan controller that was just lying around.

Because it was already overvalued. This was expected. But, more than the company, it's the investors who would have lost a lot of their money due to this.

I'll believe it when I see it. It's getting overhyped and I personally think its too good to be true. We all saw how the Vega hypetrain ended. Set your expectations low and you will not be disappointed. Ryzen 3000 maybe at best on par with CL refresh in terms of IPC, maybe a tad bit higher in core count. Navi seems unbelievable. I doubt they would even be able to match up to 2070 level performance at best.

oops did I post in the wrong section? Mods, can you please move it to the right one?

So, I've been using an old i5 2500k and 550Ti for some 8 years now. I've felt the need to upgrade over the last 2 years and finally managed to get it together. There are still some fans and led strips to come but the build is nearly complete anyway. Technically this is my first full build.

parts arrived for inevitable upgrade

1080Ti and 2080s are both overpriced here in India too. I got mine from the US on a deal

I had a 2500K with 550Ti before. Been using that for close to 8 years now and finally upgraded to this. The actual cost of this build is a bit less than the pc partpicker link because I got the 278q on a good used deal (around $340). I was on an old 768p display before, now I don't want to go back to anything less than 1440p 144hz ?

Thanks, I just set it up last week. Ran into some issues with Windows Update. Somehow managed to get a bootable drive and did a clean install. Initially when running ssd benchmark, I was getting way too low speeds. Then I realized I was using the SATA slot of the nvme instead of pcie and pcie slot was hidden by the shroud. Moved it to top slot and now got the full read/write speeds.

I must replace that old HDD.

Just setup my long over due upgrade and got these results. No manual overclocking, stock cooler. Are these okay?

Now why doesn't this surprise me at all? Everything burns! That won't work. nVidia has far greater mindshare than Intel. AMD shouldn't bother.
