I worded this kinda terribly at first, I think it makes a bit more sense more now though.

I already own a ryzen 5 1600, and I plan to stream, my thing is, I already own a seconadry PC for stremaing, so I strictly only care about gaming performance. My R5 1600 is starting to show it's age, As I mainly speedrun older games, I'm not sure if I should wait for 4th gen. What do you all think? I think wait, or get a ryzen 5 3600. I have an x470 board, so I feel like waiting might be the best move though..,

So I have a HyperX Alloy FPS (the non RGB one with a num pad), and I love this keyboard to death. It has Cherry MX Blue switches. It is extremely well built, feels high quality, and I've never had an issue with it. Recently I spilled on half the keyboard, and it wasn't working for a while. I let it dry and it works, but half of the keys feel like mush-town. I would be perfectly happy getting another one of these keyboards, but they are much too expensive now. I think I've seen them for over 100$ when I got mine for 80$. Is there any alternative with this nice metal frame and build quality for a decent price? It seems like HyperX just doesn't make them anymore. I need a number pad, and I'd really prefer Blue Switches.

Yeah, when I first saw it I said to myself "Is that the weird i7 that goes in the HEDT boards," but I found out that is the 7740x, like you said. After looking at it closer I'm leaning more on it being an obscured K.

I was browsing Craigslist recently and found a listing for an i7 7700x, and there's actually a picture of it. I've never heard of this chip, and can't find it anywhere when I google it. Is this a real cpu? Is it an obscured K?

Awesome, I'll pick up the NAS one then.

So I'm looking into buying a new hard drive to install my steam games to, and I've decided to get a Toshiba 4TB drive. This one specifically: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822149697?Item=N82E16822149697 It is a NAS drive, however there seems to be a desktop 'performance" counterpart. Which would be this one; https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822149627?Item=N82E16822149627&Tpk=N82E16822149627 From what I can tell the NAS drive is just the same drive, but with a three year warranty, instead of the two year that comes with the "performance" one. Would there be any advantage to buying the desktop performance one, or should I just go with the NAS one for the longer warranty?

I do have access to a mac pro from 2006, which would look pretty similar

Oh that's screams 2011, might look into one of these.

It looks like that Razer Prototype modular case from a while back, I'll definitely look into getting one of these!

Nostalgia is a powerful tool, especially with technology!

I already use a define R6 for my main PC, I kind of want something more flashy, or unique. Great case, though.

A PC from that time is also on my agenda, just after I finish this one.

I'd also like to see that picture, I love custom painted cases.

I'm thinking I'll go with one of the Asus Maximus boards, so a mini ITX case might not be the best fit, but thanks for responding!!

This one is interesting, I may look into it. I've always been a fan of handles on PC cases.

I remember seeing this case constantly, did the huge fan ever actually help with temps?

I may look into this one, that would have totally been my kind of thing at the time, less getting up to give the PC a reach-around.

I'm looking into building a top of the line mid to late 2011 PC, so I can make the best PC I could have had when I first started to become interested in PC hardware; and I was wondering what cases people love from the 2010-2012 era. I wanted to choose the NZXT phantom, because I was totally the kind of person to get a case like that at the time, but I want to see what other interesting cases existed at the time.

Is there a specific service you'd suggest trying?

I live in on the East Cost of the US, and I'm trying to play Borderlands with a buddy of mine from Australia. Is there any chance I'd be able to get us both on a VPN hosted somewhere in-between us, so we can balance out the latency we have to the game? I really want to play the game together, but sending a jump input makes me wait around a whole second before it happens.

I've tried other joycons, and the console is almost always up to date. It's definitely a problem with the connector on the switch.

Recently my Switch's left joycon connector has stopped allowing connection to the console for handheld mode. It still charges, but I am not locked into using my switch as just a home console. Is there any way I can repair the connector? I've tried using a toothbrush on the connector, but it hasn't worked. My switch is also out of warranty, so I'm kind of out of luck there.

Actually I might give bootcamp a shot.

That kind of defeats the purpose. Can you even install windows on this hardware?
