As @AlTech mentioned, trusted reviewers will buy one & tear it a new one. We as consumers should then wait with buying it just a day or two to give them the time to fully run all benchmarks.

Fair enough but I think it's more because you seemingly only read the title & got your response sent as quickly as possible.

You're using a 5800x, they run hot (I use the same chip with a dual fan tower cooler) If you've got NVIDIA ShadowPlay while in Warzone ALT+Z, go to settings, HUD & then choose to show the performance overlay. You'll be able to monitor your temperatures from there. I wouldn't expect it to go above 80c° if your airflow is setup correctly.

For your usecase SCCM is going to be total overkill, especially for the one-time you'll be using it. I recommend reading this & creating a Windows 11/10 install USB that contains all the user profiles & software pre-defined. Keep in mind if you got your .ISO through the Media Creation Tool you'll need to convert its install.ESD file to .WIM, this way you'll be able to you the full DISM toolset. For ease-of-use I recommend doing this setup on a spare laptop/PC instead of a VM, it's going to be easier to copy files over that way. When in the Windows setup process & you wish to copy over files, use notepad's built in file explorer if you don't know how to use Robocopy! (CTRL+SHIFT+F10, in CMD type "notepad.exe" then "Open", it's a hacky workaround to get a explorer GUI during setup.)

You'd need to use SCCM to push software to this PC in the way you want. Another option is integrating software into your Windows image, this can be done using DISM/Sysprep. May I ask how much users you are trying to serve here? Sounds like this is a corporate environment or you're just playing around/testing (either is totally valid!) take a look at these docs. Installing this on your AD server is possible, however in a professional setting I recommend spinning up another VM (assuming everything is virtualized) Feel free to ask if it's not all clear, I'll make some time to explain it some more if needed!

While I do have to agree that they are pretty cool toys, Ryzen offers 12 full-power cores from the word "go". I haven't looked at comparisons between the two CPU's, I recommend doing so.

Don't worry his other brain is at the dry cleaners, once he plugs that one back in he won't be high anymore!

First of all, I want to warn you : "Be careful with duplicate file finders". I've used dupeGuru before & it works like a charm, it's free & works on Windows/Linux & macOS. What I do recommend is using WinDirStat before using dupeGuru, you can manually browse through all the large files and do some cleanup that way. Hopefully this helps you out some!

In Belgium at least you're able to buy them without getting a bundle. Pricing is still all over the place & it's worth scouting out a few places before pulling the trigger on a card. Got my RTX3080 in November last year, it was way above MSRP but getting it without any other purchase was possible.

Post above me sums it up pretty well, you pay extra & you get about what you pay for; nothing more, nothing less. Look at benchmarks for both, do the games you wish to play perform up to your standard on the 3070? Then perhaps it's worth saving the money & for example buying a bigger SSD. Do you want those extra frames? There's nothing wrong with going to the 3070Ti, it's price is "right" (in the current insane market). Hopefully this answers your question somewhat

Played on both & still do! PC Gaming has always been my go-to, however PlayStation 2/3 & 4 still get regular usage and for that Nintendo fix a regular Switch does the trick. Console gaming is fun when I feel that urge to sit down and enjoy a game more slouched down. However I never feel like a controller is "the best" option to play most of the games I play. I will consider myself very lucky here, collecting games has gotten me a good few consoles/handhelds over the years; PSP, PS Vita, DS, 3DS, GBA, GB, GC, Wii, X360, etc are all hooked up and/or within arms reach. It's a lot of fun, especially with such a large library of exclusive titles to play from a big era & lot's of genres! Gaming is a lot of fun, no matter how you enjoy it; just enjoy it Now if everyone doesn't mind I'll go back to Minecraft & The Sims 2/3 because honestly that's 80% of what I play anyways..

If you're curious, AGP is the old standard used by graphics cards; LazyGameReviewer & other retro tech focused channels have some neat videos of them Pretty sure LTT might mention them somewhere as well, can't think of a video right away though..

As many others have already said, expect € 400 - € 500.. That's where I see it fit in the current market, it's currently though-as-nails to get any kind of gaming GPU; a total bummer for newcomers to the PC gaming world

If you can find a good deal on it second hand, totally go for it! Sadly the market is completely backwards at the moment, I personally find the RX 6600XT pretty good value as it's around € 650 for a decent AIB model. NVIDIA has better drivers from my experience but any RTX card (RTX 3060 comes to mind) will easily set you back € 200 more for the same price. Keep in mind I get those prices from the Belgian market, where you're from makes a huge difference! What brand is your power supply? Even if it's trustworthy with a proper Silver/Gold rating I'd jump to 600W or above; with cheaper/less quality units you risk triggering over-current protection with more modern GPU's as they spike quite high in power-draw. TL;DR: GTX1070 is a great choice if you can find it cheapily. RX6600XT would be great "value" in the current market if you make sure to upgrade your PSU. Hopefully this helped a little c=

You will be able to play those older games without much of an issue keeping the settings & resolution down : ) Here's a video with a similar CPU being used, that uses the same iGPU "UHD Graphics 630" 1080p at low/medium seems very reasonable Add an affordable GPU down the line & you'll have yourself an admittedly basic but more than passable gaming system

If you're unsure, feel free to post a picture of the label! I'm sure me or someone else can help out

Hold onto the HDD for sure, offload your Steam library to that & then you can even get away with a smaller SSD. What PSU is it? How much watts can it give, continuous not peak. I need to eat my own words, 3400G's & other AMD CPU's with integrated GPU's are out of stock everywhere and marked up insanely high. Have a scroll on PCPartsPicker or look on some local stores their websites, for gaming 4 strong CPU cores are important, 8GB's of RAM is the bare minimum (get one stick, upgrade to 16GB's the moment you can) GPU Wise, the market is so different everywhere but look around, if it's close to MSRP it's a good deal. Hopefully that's some useful info : )

Allow me to chime in, it's awful value for money (any used computer with an SSD slapped in can be cheaper) Not sure how OP feels about going used? There's genuinely ways to get closer to your $ 350 budget without getting bottom-of-the-barrel parts Hardest thing to get right now will be a graphics card, at a decent price that is. If you're willing to jump ship to AMD you can get decent integrated graphics if you're looking to play @ 1080p Pretty important question as well, what do you have already? Any parts lying around, speakers/headset, screen, mouse & keyboard or even PC parts, older PSU, some storage, etc, etc If not it's hard to get a gaming PC for that price in the current market, before that I could source a decent quad/six core rig with a GTX970 for less than € 350 with some very careful second-hand picking & chinese importing ;)

PayDay 2 with the body count set to Ultra; it doesn't get more insane than this

650Ti has NVENC, 660 should as well Dual channel will help a little bit, however upgrading the CPU & using that to encode would be money well spent; I take it mobile LoL isn't the most intensive on the GPU so you could skate by with that GTX660 if that's all you plan to stream. Keep in mind moving to a new CPU (especially a new platform) means DDR4; so then you have to buy new memory regardless & I'd make sure it's dual channel. It's probably worth upgrading the CPU & Memory all at the same time, value wise it'll be better in the long run. However don't let that hold you back from buying another stick of memory (make sure it's the same model!) & plopping that in, once you can upgrade further; sell it & get part of that initial investment right back! Hopefully this kinda helps out, it's my take on this

Might I add to this you can use Fullscreenizer when playing in windowed mode to make it look like borderless fullscreen. Great for alt-tabbing & games that don't support borderless fullscreen but need it to stay stable (Sims 2 & 3 looking at you here)

They've had an app for a long time, back before iOS 6 it even came installed .. as default. But IIRC they wanted to do things Apple wouldn't let them, so they ended that deal & moved on by making it a normal downloadable app. Not saying Google wouldn't like you to use their app, Chrome and all of the other services they offer.

And how will you get two mouse cursors? It is possible, don't get me wrong! There used to be a few applications that allowed you to do just this : One I used was this weird Russian one Give the trail a shot, it worked surprisingly well. You can even with some tweaking (Use Sandboxie) run two instances of Origin/Steam and hell even the same game! It's pretty cool for lan parties where you have one beastly system and want to share it Edit: Of course running a Linux system as a base, then setting up a Hypervisor & passing through graphics cards would work as well. It is just a lot more difficult and seeing as you never heard of a virtual machine it might be a bit much at once.. You'd also need a separate GPU for every instance including the Linux host.

This is what I do on Discord as well : D instead if *:D I'd prefer a way to turn this off, but the space fixes it mostly if not making it look a little silly ; D
