  1. New parts list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/LxwmxG Anything that I missed?
  2. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/Q6DzK8/corsair-k70-lux-rgb-wired-gaming-keyboard-ch-9101010-na https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/yPX2FT/gskill-keyboard-gkkcl1c4km780rs10na ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  3. Do you know of any 300 series motherboards that are ryzen 2000 ready? Both keyboards are the exact same price for me. I had the K70 red backlighting before and i didn't find anything wrong with it for me personally. I think i will stick with the corsair. Thanks for the suggestion though!

  5. Hi, In the recent past, my pc was destroyed and i need a new one. I understand that the gpu and memory markets are insane rn, however i am in need of a pc. I need help looking over this build that I have put together because I have not very familiar with AMD in general. Including peripherals, I am able to spend $2600 - $2700 CAD including tax. I will be using the desktop for flight simulation (x-plane 11), light to moderate content creation, CADing (SolidWorks), gaming, and other general tasks such as doc editing. I would like to preferably stick with an AMD gpu as freesync monitors are much cheaper. I am not planning on OCing the cpu or gpu (not at least for a couple years). Here is the build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/R9pQRJ Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
  6. I recently bought an Asus Zenbook UX430UQ, and have noticed that at even just idle, the fan seems to sound like I am heavily tasking the CPU. In reality, I am only running one application (Google Chrome, 1 tab) and CPU usage (according to Task Manager) is at 2%. Is there a problem with the laptop or is it just how it runs?
  7. What about this? Go for the 1600, switch graphics card to radeon 580, and get an AIO? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/P6FJ3F
  8. K what about this? Also, what graphics card alternative would you recommend? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/NVJGZ8
  9. I had a feeling people would want me to go for Ryzen, I'm just not very familiar with it. Thanks! If I were to go 1600x what motherboard should I go for? Also what mobo chipsets are overclockable?
  10. I am trying to price this build around $1500 CAD, but it is ok if the price goes over by about another $100 CAD. This build is going to be used for cadding, flight simulator (x plane and microsoft fsx), and moderate gaming. I only am getting one monitor for now, but am thinking about adding another two later (monitors at least at 1080p). I am going to be running windows 10. Peripherals will be a keyboard, mouse, and external optical drive. A long story, but I am re building my previous pc with a few upgrades, such as new cpu architecture and case. Any help is appreciated. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/FPTqZ8
  11. Oh yeah... I forgot about budget. Around the $200 price range. Any other suggestions?
  12. I need help finding a motherboard that fits my needs. With my previous build I feel I had bought a motherboard that, some of the features, I hadn't used. I don't know what type of information you would need to help me choose out a mobo so just ask. Some hopefully useful info: - case with window, so aesthetically pleasing - black and red colour scheme - I would like RAID support - would prefer MSI or ASUS - ATX - Intel Z270, Socket LGA 1151 -$200 CAD price range
  13. Thanks. How do you update it, after you download it?
