Well that's a bummer. Worse comes to worse, I'll temporarily use an active converter. Thanks Princess Cadence.

Due to certain reasons, a lot of it personal. I try to avoid Intel as much as possible. And any Apple products an automatic no. So going back if I really need to get a B350 instead. How far can it's onboard GPU take me? (it has a VGA fortunately)

That's because it's more quiet and consumes less power. Are A320s really that bad? I neither overclock nor plan use sli/crossfire nor raid.

double post

You can try using an active converter. PS: It doesn't always work though.

Is it really the graphics card though? Sometimes it's the monitor. My own monitor is when using HDMI is trashy because of the it's post-processing, older models have this, but is still very good on VGA.

I'm planning on buying a new rig really soon since my athlon II x4 is limping when playing modern games now. Only buying a new compatible vcard looks stupid too. AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Asus Prime B350M-A Palit GTX 1050 Ti StormX 4GB Adata XPG Z1 8GB single Settled on above. But It's still a bit expensive for me. Reason for Getting Prime B350 it's the only one i can find with 6 SATA slots. Reason for Single 8GB is for future upgrade. Is there an A320 that have 6 SATA slots? Also how far can the mobo take me in gaming if I postpone vcard? My old LED monitor doesn't like HDMI output (it's own postprocessing), so I need to get a new one too. I usually play ported JRPG by the way. Heaviest game played is Dues Ex: Mankind Divided and Blue Reflection. Sorry for the dumb-ish question. I haven't checked any hardware for the last 8years+ so I need to relearn everything from scratch. PS: I don't mind stretching my budget a bit if it means the computer is more upgradeable to what I need and/or longer lifespan/usage.

Why not just soundproof your wall (and door)? It's not that hard nor expensive to do. You can even do it with empty egg cartons or a curtain. or Get a louder speaker

You can. But why? Anyway I leave my computer 24x7 from time to time. Using it for 8years+ now. Make sure to have extra juice in PSU though. That's the first one to degrade.
