Hello all, I am trying to sort out some audio input issues with my PC. I just bought a ModMic so I could game with the boys, but my input volume is insanely quiet, so quiet that on voice memos I can barely hear myself talking while yelling. (People in Discord also complain about me being too quiet) This happened with an additional two mics I tried. I have checked both Control Panel and my RealTek manager and it is still too quiet with input volumes and gain maxed out. I have also tried updating my drivers and all my audio codecs. This is driving me absolutely crazy because I just spent $50 on a mic and I am still having to use a wireless earbud in one ear to connect to Discord on my phone. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

All the rebates I've ever dealt with have come in like a charm.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nWyC3F I didn't even look closely for the best deals and he could pick some stuff up used to lower the cost even further.

I'd say a 1050 or 1050ti

I would say go for a Ryzen 3 1300x over the G4560. Even though it's a great budget chip, the extra cores in the Ryzen would be super helpful.

Damn, where'd you find that?

Steer clear of the last-gen AMD processors, they're pretty awful. Get a Ryzen 3 or 5, and maybe bump up from a 1050 to a 1050ti. The inclusion of a SSD would also make the system much faster, and there are a ton of Cyber Monday deals going around on them right now.

Some people will try to sell you on getting an iFixit kit or a ModMat or something, but all you really need is a screwdriver.

Cool, thanks!

If you're going to buy an Intel CPU on a budget, don't buy an i3. Look into the G4560, which is the ultimate budget CPU right now.

Overwatch is the only game I've tried at 60 FPS. Had to tear down my 3 day-old rig to RMA the motherboard and never had a GPU so I couldn't give you more info.

Should I be able to find the range in the monitor specs or is it universal across Free/G-sync?

Right now I have a Dell P2417H, thinking of replacing it with the Dell SE2717Hx.

Suffering from bad-ish tearing on my new monitor, but it has excellent colors. Considering returning it to get a similarly priced Freesync one. For anyone with Freesync experience, how much of a difference does it make?

480!
