M.2 does not imply PCIE.

To be fair, the ram has the same latency overall as the CL is lower, so it's really just preference. Also, a 970 Evo is significantly faster than the SATA WD Blue and is well worth just $30 extra in my opinion.

I was forced to "upgrade" to G Hub for proper software support when I upgraded to a g604 after my g602's scroll wheel crapped out. It's definitely a more modern application, but it takes an incredible amount of time to launch, and every few weeks it just refuses to open and I have to completely reinstall. No amount of waiting, program restarts, or system restarts fix it. If I try to close it while it's in its infinite booting sequence, it appears closed but the "G Hub Updater" will still tick away in the background for hours, taking 30-40% cpu in task manager.

Yep, I'd also lean towards the Tuf. I think the improved contrast and viewing angles provided by a VA panel outweigh the very minimal difference in refresh rate OC or ghosting.

The previous suggestions are both good options. If you want a browser with focus on privacy, but want some of the comforts that come with a browser that's more widely supported, Firefox is a good option. I currently use Firefox and Duckduckgo and have no issues compared to my old setup of Chrome + Google.

It shouldn't damage anything, though I did try this and I found my iPhone 7's camera wasn't able to darken the image enough to see any detail in the sun.

The difference between a $9 mouse and a $40 mouse is obvious, but past that you’ll need to be pretty picky to justify the extra price. (Remember getting a better mouse won’t automatically increase your skill in games though.) With keyboards it’s really your choice. I can’t tell a performance difference between cheap or expensive mechanical keyboards. Some people swear by mechanical while I’m just fine on most keyboards. You’ll make a lot better decisions if you go to a store and try them out yourself. Like everyone else has said, ergonomics are key.

Deepin is a good choice if you want a really nice looking distro, but I haven't used it for software development. I use it only occasionally on an old laptop for web browsing.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You’ll get a lot better sound if you use stereo headphones. Some modern games have a form of virtual surround sound which usually will sound much more real than a “surround sound” headset.

The things that I typically look for in a monitor are: - Resolution - Refresh rate(how many times a second the monitor displays an image, measured in hertz) - Panel type(TN panels have bad viewing angles but can have very high refresh rates, IPS panels have great color accuracy and large viewing angles but can’t have as high of a refresh rate, and VA panels are in the middle of TN and IPS. They have better colors and viewing angles than TN, can have fairly high refresh rates, and have a higher contrast ratio than TN and IPS.) - Color depth(How many colors a monitor can technically display, commonly measured in bits. Higher color depth means smoother gradients. 8 bit is good while 10 bit is great.) - Brightness(Measured in cd/m². The higher the number the brighter the screen can go. 250-300 is common.) - sRGB/Adobe RGB coverage(99+% is typical sRGB coverage. There was a really helpful As Fast As Possible covering this.) Notes: - Contrast ratios posted on spec sheets are almost always faked or cheated. You’re better off just not worrying about them or finding a reliable source for this information. - HDR can be nice but it’s currently quite buggy with windows. - Every monitor is different and you can never judge monitors completely on it’s specs. It’s very beneficial to go to a store and compare the monitors yourself. (Disclaimer: I’m not a professional. I can’t guarantee that everything said here is perfectly accurate.)

Corsair Strafe (Cherry MX Red verison). When I first purchased the keyboard I didn't enjoy the linear keyswitches but since then I've gotten used to them and love it. USB passthrough is convenient and the backlighting is a nice touch.

I would choose OBS Studio as well.

Five weeks when I moved to a new house that wasn't wired yet.

I have switched between two providers a few times so here are both: ISP - AT&T Fiber Plan - 1000 Mbps Up/Down Real speeds - 750-800 Up/Down Rating - 3/5. Plenty fast for any of my needs but randomly cuts out, usually daily. It usually only happens for a few seconds but causes my access points to take around a minute to reconnect. Would be perfect without these errors. ISP - Google Fiber Plan - 1000 Mbps Up/Down Real speeds - 900-1200Mbps Up/900-970 Down (It did consistently read 1.2 Gbps on the AT&T speed test for some reason) Rating - 5/5. Once again plenty fast for my needs and never went down once over the course of a year.
