Budget (including currency): 3000$ Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: All major titles, Fortnite, Minecraft, MWII, Overwatch, "next gen" games that could be good. Other details: I need a 2k or 4k monitor to put with this as well. I was really thinking of getting a 4080 as the GPU but maybe someone here can change my mind and give me a good reason for another card? Also preferably intel based, but I'll budge if needed.

I've been playing with a lower overclock. Thanks for the advice this has fixed my problem.

Monitor: 1440p 165hz CPU: I7 9700k (Overclocked to 4.8 GHz) GPU: RTX 2080 Founders Edition Motherboard: ASRock Z390 Extreme 4 Memory: 32gb Dominator Platinum RGB 3200MHz DDR4 CPU Cooler: Corsair H150i Elite Capellix HDD: 2TB WD Black SSD: 1TB Samsung 860 EVO 1tb, Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 1TB PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850W G+ Corsair H150i Elite Capellix I'm not sure what the problem is. Sometimes when I'm playing games my pc will randomly just completely lock up. Everything freezes and I cant move my mouse or do anything. I've waited up to 10 minutes and it wont restart or shut down on its own. I end up having to flick the power switch on the power supply and reboot. This has been happening for a month or so now and I'd say it occurs once every 2 or so days. I can do hardware swaps if needed but I don't really know how to find my issue. If someone could link me to some applications that would help someone figure out my issue that would be awesome. It really sucks disconnecting in the middle of an EFT raid lol.

I used to have 32gb of Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3200MHz but I couldnt get it to run with XMP on defaults. I had to set the frequency myself to around 2800MHz and it would crash if going any further. Since that ram wasn't on my motherboards QVL I decided to get new ram that is. I recently bought new ram that is on my motherboards QVL and have had problems with running my system with XMP on. I have tried upping the voltage on ram to 1.4 in the BIOS. I have also tried updating the BIOS via Instant Flash to the latest release. I'm not confident enough to mess with anything else without advice.

I'd prefer not to upgrade the GPU though. Asking for a upgrade list.

I have a z390 extreme 4 motherboard. I bought 32gb dominator platinum 3200hz and apparently it is not compatible with my motherboard. It will not boot unless I underclock the speed in BIOS Its currently running at 2800hz and has been for months. I would like to upgrade to 4000hz+ memory but I dont want to have another compatibility problem. Could someone find me either 32gb or 16gb of 4000hz+ memory that will work with my motherboard?

I saw some other forum post and the person said that with optimus specifically VR and G-SYNC dont work with it. "It’s called NVIDIA Optimus and it has existed for quite a while now. There are still some applications that don’t work well with this, and there are also certain technologies supported by the NVIDIA GPU but not the Intel GPU that consequently don’t work with this “Intel passthrough” setup (VR and G-Sync to name two), but unless you need those technologies or are using a problematic application, you should be fine." This is what they said.

I just wanted to know if I could find someone to change the graphics that my USB-C port is linked to on my laptop. I want to use the Oculus Rift S on it and just wanna know if someone would even be able to open it up and change the USB-C port to be linked to my graphics card and not the intel graphics.
