Nocte got a reaction from nowhere_ in Please Help Me Optimize My Build and Decide Between AMD/Intel
I would go with the 7800X3D:
It consumes WAY less power than the 14700k (up to 3 times less at max load) It provides better gaming performance than the 14700k in most (all?) games (e.g. 7800X3D pulls 200+ fps in Cyberpunk @ 1080p vs. ~165 of the 14700k) 7800X3D is cheaper, allowing you to go DDR5 without increasing the overall build price (as shown in your partpicker) Maybe this video will help you making an informed decision:

Given your budget I would honestly go with the 7950X3D...
Drop the PCIe 5.0 overpriced SSDs and go with PCIe 4.0 ones (unless you can actually saturate 4.0 - I doubt it).
The SSDs I picked do not show up with a price on PCPP, but you can find them on Amazon.de.

Is it a clean Windows install? How did you manage driver installation/change?

Nocte reacted to Blue4130 in MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK doesn't work, literally
That's a bit extreme. Just flash the correct bios and enjoy the system. It isn't difficult. You have bios flashback.

Nocte got a reaction from tyze-gamer in Friend needs assistance with pc component choices
You can’t build a gaming pc with £100, not even with used parts unless some core components are donated to you.

Nocte reacted to GuiltySpark_ in 7.1 Surround Sound Only Using Front Speakers
If the source is Stereo, you'll get Stereo output. I don't know what this "7.1 Surround Sound Box" is, or these amps. Are you just trying to force a 2-channel audio source through all the speakers? Surround sound for PC's is effectively dead these days so I'm surprised you went this route.

Nocte got a reaction from GOTSpectrum in Error when updating bios
Please don't update it from Windows. Update it with a USB stick from within the BIOS.

Nocte got a reaction from Needfuldoer in Why is only part of my RAM usable?
Not all motherboards are ABAB for RAM slots (although most are). Make sure it's not AABB.
-
Nocte got a reaction from Dedayog in Is 16GB ram enough for a gaming pc?
AM4 only supports DDR4, whereas AM5 (Ryzen 7000+) only supports DDR5.
You therefore need to know what CPU you have or you will be buying something that might not be compatible with your system.

Nocte got a reaction from Kurotsune in GPU doesn't seem to go all the way in the PCIE slot
It looks fine from the picture you posted. It would help if the picture was taken from a more vertical angle.
If the lock clicked and the PC is working without hiccups I wouldn’t worry about it.

Nocte got a reaction from idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b in Being offered 1 of 2 PCs: i3-4150 or G4560 builds. Which one should I "steal"?
G4560 is a better CPU and has better other components.

Nocte got a reaction from Eigenvektor in Learning programming
Learn the basics and then practice by working on your own projects, try to find something you wish it would be automated and create a program for it.
You will start facing challenges on how to do x which is part of achieving y, find resources and eventually you will take in more and more knowledge.
There is no beginner to master guide for anything. Being a master means having implicit/tacit knowledge. Guides offer you explicit knowledge, which only helps to a certain extent.

Nocte got a reaction from TechNurd in 1 modem 1 switch 2 routers. possible?
Can't you just put both routers in access point mode? (without chaining them, connect both to the modem directly)

Nocte got a reaction from gloop in How to justify a $500 gpu worth it just for gaming?
If you have to find excuses you probably shouldn’t buy it. Just wait until the 3060 releases.

Nocte got a reaction from Energycore in Google chrome problem scrips everywhere
After so many results I would consider backing up your important files and reinstalling Windows altogether.

Nocte got a reaction from Mateyyy in Low Fps in Games
Dual channel could greatly help. I would just get another 16GB stick that matches your current one. Price difference between 2x8GB and 1x16GB shouldn't be particularly high.
What's your GPU and CPU usage and temps when playing?

Nocte got a reaction from Beerzerker in Bent CPU socket pins affecting RAM slots?
Certain pins could do that, yes. It could also be a bad RAM stick or slot unless you tested them elsewhere.
