Yeah, perhaps that would be the best course of action. As it sits right now, I've got ram, storage, cpu. I'll do some digging and see what I can find.

Budget (including currency): $200 for PSU, Case, gpu Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, gta, dark souls 3, Elden ring Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): So I got a computer gifted to me for free. It is an HP ElieteDesk 800 g4 Small form factor. I have 16 gb of ram installed, ssd, i5 8500. I'm going to buy a graphics card for it. I would put a half height gpu in there, but that's not very performant compared to used full sized GPUs you can find on ebay. Long story short, I would like to get a gpu, power supply and potentially a case to put all of this in. I have a few concerns, though: Can I replace the power supply and just plug everything into the motherboard? Does the motherboard use non standard psu connectors for example. How do I know that the motherboard is going to fit in a full size pc case? probably non standard screw layout, not sure the best way to check though. Since any decent used GPU is going to require a different PSU, could I use the existing case with the side off of it and just connect a second power supply to the gpu and run it from the second psu? Would I have to jump that second psu every time I wanted to start up the PC? This scenario would assume that the motherboard connectors are non-standard and forces me to use 2 separate PSUs to start the computer. I suppose I could buy a used motherboard to work around this issue too and just keep that cpu, ram and storage. Trying to avoid spending too much on this though.

So your ps5 still gets unhappy putting into rest mode then turning off tv with HDMI CEC disabled? Idk. At this point I'm pretty frustrated. I'm moving to a different state soon so I just hope that Sony will honor their warranty when I'm moved. I guess I shouldn't expect perfection, but this just... Ridiculous.

I own the PS5, xbox series S, xbox series X and PC with an r9 3900x with 32 gb of ram and a rtx 3080 ti. Honestly it's pretty overkill for me to own all of these, but I really wanted to play exclusives that I've never had the chance to play before. I would say Xbox currently has the following going for it: Game pass Backwards compatibility Quick resume Auto HDR Fps boost Xbox play anywhere Ps5 has: Solid exclusive games Solid ps4 backwards compatibility Interesting controller Some upgrades to random ps4 titles (Not always super clear to the user) More polished UX/navigation PC has: Massive catalogue of games (and plenty of pc exclusives that have never hit console) Endless Customization/support for almost any setup Plenty of emulators Endless in game tweaking Ability to upgrade individual components at a time No monthly subscription for basic multiplayer access (adds up quickly) Honestly it really comes down to what you want. If you like xbox's or PlayStation's exclusives you will be happy with one of those two. That said most console exclusive games are coming to PC now as it is a massive market. By far my favorite part of Xbox is quick resume. It lets you swap games super easy and is great for a busy person. PlayStation kinda feels like the apple of gaming, very asthetic, but chunks of stuff at a price premium. I would say that PC is probably the cheapest option in the long run though, because there are so many sales all the time and endless sites to buy steam games for dirt cheap. PC can be upgraded pretty easily if you don't like performance. If you get really good at buying and selling components at the right time you can pick up some pretty sweet deals for upgrades too. You also save around $200 ($15 * 12) a year by not paying for a subscription (gotta have Xbox live or ps now to play fps games or sometimes even have cloud saves)

From what I can tell, it isn't. I would expect the fan to be significantly noisier if it was. So far with supply power to USB ports disabled it seems to be fine. That said... I haven't been able to test it for a long period of time. The only thing I can think of is that when I'm gaming on my PC it is causing the ps5 to crash because my ps5 and PC are on the same UPS. That said I would think that this situation is kinda what they are designed for...

For some reason my ps5 keeps crashing in rest mode. I've tried disabling "HDMI Device link" and "supply power to USB ports", but neither has worked. My PS5 is on a UPS, so I know that it isn't an issue with electricity/power going out. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Or do I just have a bad PS5?

For some reason I'm having difficulty enabling LDAC on my headphones. From my digging, it should be under these settings, but they don't appear. I can enable it under dev mode, but when I close the settings and reopen the settings it switches back to the default. I'm using Samsung Galaxy s9+. I tried disabling eq in the Sony app then restarting and looking for it in Bluetooth settings for my headphones and I still didn't find it. At this point I have no clue. Am I missing something?

I've been trying to do the same on my Samsung Galaxy s9+ with Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones (which support LDAC). Any idea why I don't see the option for LDAC? I have dev mode enabled and can select LDAC there... Any ideas?

Finally. I need to get some decent hdmi cables

Nope just wifi. I just used poor wording and didn't proofread as well as I should have. Wired works just fine, but wireless doesn't.

For some reason I don't even have the option to connect via wireless anymore. I tried downloading drivers and when I go through the repair drivers option the wifi will work again (see below image to see what I am refering to). However on restart wifi will be broken again. Anyone know what I should try or what could be causing this? My ethernet works just fine, but I am not sure why wifi keeps breaking on restart.

As far as I know the third wire only keeps track of battery temperature. I however am not an expert in the subject so I don't know for certain. That video I put in there does talk about that if I remember right. Anyways best of luck.

Essentially, from testing it seems like faulty switch dock (another switch had same issue on the same dock, and it wasn't hdmi, that means it is either the power cable for it, the dock, or the tv), and for pc issues I think that it is a possibility that my hdmi port is going bad. I don't think that either of these issues were caused by the tv, but idk just want a second opinion I guess.

As for windows vm I think you would have a better experience if you dual booted windows and linux. As a developer myself I have seen some strange behavior from windows vms. If I were you I would just sit tight for a couple months on building a pc, because the new AMD and Nvidia graphics cards are coming out then. Maybe also consider using ultrawide monitors instead, they are coming down in price and you can also set them up so that they fake acting like several monitors, that way you can still snap windows into sections of your monitor. As for parts I would have a hard time giving recommendations since I don't live in Germany.

My switch kept intermittently black screening (on the tv screen) when connected to the switch dock. It happened with my switch and my friend's switch on the same dock, so we knew that it wasn't the switch that was bad. We next tried a different hdmi cable thinking that was the problem. No luck. We tried unplugging everything from the switch dock and then re-plugging it back in (power cable, usb connected stuff, hdmi, etc.) I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting hdmi from tv. None of it worked, however I do have an extra switch dock so I thought well why don't I just switch out the switch dock and see if that was the problem. I haven't had the issue since switching to my other switch dock. This is on my samsung Q60T tv btw. The weird thing though was it was working just fine for me playing breath of the wild on the TV. The issue only occurred when we were playing smash bros (on my or my friends switch). I doubt that the issue was with smash bros itself, but I guess I don't know for certain. It also may be a faulty switch dock. I guess I was wondering what you thought it was... I just bought this TV... so could be a TV issue possibly. My PC when it has been connected to it went made the screen magenta and black scale (kinda similar looking to grayscale tvs, but with magenta and black instead), but at half of the screen size (ie a wierd screen ratio too). When I restarted the tv it did nothing, but restarting the pc caused it to work just fine again. If there is an issue with the TV I would like to get it replaced with one that doesn't have the issue of course, but I guess I just am not certain if these events are correlated, but not caused by the tv. I think I remember my pc issue happening randomly on another monitor in the past on the same hdmi port. So I think that I have a switch dock that is acting funky with my tv and a graphics card hdmi port that may be going bad. I have also recently retested the switch dock in question and confirmed that when playing smash bros in game mode auto for tv it has the issues. My other switch dock has displayed no issues. I also tested the switch dock in question on another display and didn't have any issues with intermittent black screening. I guess I just bought this tv last week so I am within the return/exchange policy. What do you guys think? Do you guys think I should exchange my tv? Or do you think the other stuff issues were unrelated to the tv. Thanks in advance for the help.
