  1. Hi, So I was playing some CoD:BOCW tonight when suddenly my laptop's power supply made a decently loud crack sound, followed by my laptop violently turning off. I tried turning it on again (both on battery and plugged in to different outlets around the house) and got no luck. When plugged in, the laptop's charging LED doesn't even turn on, which makes me think that it is actually fried. On the other hand, when I plug in the cable that connects to the outlet and try to plug it into the brick (the cable can be separated, as often in laptops) light cracks can be heard, as if the cable and brick were shorting. Is there a way that my power brick may have come defective and may have fried my whole laptop? I bough this computer a month ago, so I'm still in warranty both for BestBuy (bought in Miami, reside in Mexico so it may be complicated) and for Asus, so I will surely contact them, just wanted to know your opinion. Thanks for your time and hope your holidays are going better than mine so far.
  2. I was actually checking those out and really convinced me (specially the NR400), but then I came across the MSI GPU being absurdly long, so it wont really fit...
  3. It really is, Im having a though time choosing a mATX case. I really want a compact one, preferably no dual chamber (the H400i was really a great size, yet too expensive for me) Any suggestions?
  4. Actually this is great, since i've heard about CAM being a bit buggy. I looked into the Cooler Master ML240P Mirage, and it looks great plus is compatible with mystic light, furthermore I could use another case (since the H400i is a bit too expensive IMO). Thanks!
  5. Mostly, I tried to choose components that can be controlled through the same software. I chose MSI because i've heard this mobo is great and has WiFi, consequently, I chose a MSI GPU and RAM which is compatible with Mystic light.
  6. I considered so, however there's a slight chance I might build in less than a month, so I wanted to have an idea.
  7. Budget (including currency): Around 2200-2600 CAD (1700-2000 USD) Country: Canada (Toronto, ON) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: This PC will be used for 1440p 144Hz gaming and streaming (COD:BOCW, Warzone, Minecraft, GTA, Cyberpunk, Valorant, CSGO, Destiny 2, Fortnite, etc) as well as 3D Rendering and modeling (Rhino 6, 3DS Max, Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, V-Ray, Enscape, Photoshop and some Premiere Pro). Other details: whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): The system I previously planned includes: Ryzen 7 5800X (or R9 3900X?), NZXT Kraken X63, MSI MAG B550M Mortar WIFI mATX, G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB @ 3600MHz CL16, Samsung 970 Evo Plus (or non Plus?) 1TB M.2 SSD, 2TB HDD, MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio, NZXT H400i mATX and NZXT C850 Gold PSU. As seen previously, I want a mATX build since my student's room desk is quite desk limited, and I honestly prefer their form factor. Also, I am trying to use the least amount of brands possible so the RGB software isn't a nightmare (In my build idea im only using MSI Mystic and NZXT CAM). NO peripherals are required, NO monitor is required. I will be playing at 1440p 144Hz. This build is planned for Q1-Q2 of 2021, not sure yet. Thanks for your time!
  8. This build seems really nice TBH, I will wait for something like the R7 5700X for a build like this. I just have some doubts regards this build: Isn't a 360mm AIO a bit too much? For the OC I plan to do (if I do) I believe the 240mm from the capellix would be enough. Also, new i've heard new RTX cards support PCIe 4.0, so wouldn't a X570 board make more sense? Something like the X570 Aorus elite. Those 32GB would actually be extremely useful for my necessities, but for ryzen maybe 3600MHz? Other than that I believe this could be it!
  9. Will definitely look into that, hope these new Ryzen processors beat 10th Gen Intel, since I really prefer AMD over Intel nowadays. Will these new CPUs launch a new chipset? X670 for example? Since I might go for X570 if not for the PCIe Gen 4. Furthermore, the true reason I planned to change my whole system is because I will be moving from Mexico to Canada, and moving pc parts is very risky (they're treated extremely roughly) but also expensive (needing to pay additional taxes as well as separate shipping), so big parts such as motherboards, AIOs and PSUs would be better to buy new.
  10. That actually sounds reasonable, is there a release date for these CPUs? I've always preferred AMD but lately 10th Gen seems to have the lead.
  11. Budget (including currency): Around 1500 USD (2000CAD) can be 200USD up or down Country: Toronto, Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: (In a 1440p 144Hz Monitor) Warzone, Fortnite, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Destiny, CSGO, Minecraft (RTX/Shaders), among others. I will be also working with 3D modelling and rendering software such as: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, 3DS Max, Rhino, PS, Premiere Pro, VRay, Enscape and Lumion. Other details: Existing parts lists (This is my idea so far): - Intel Core i7-10700k - Asus Z490-E Gaming - Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200MHz CL16 (or maybe keep the 16 GB 3000MHz CL15 kit I currently have, help with this please). - Asus RTX 3070 Strix - Corsair H100i Pro Elite Capellix - Corsair RM750x - Corsair 465X RGB - Will be reusing my storage drives. What you're upgrading from (Will be selling this system before leaving): - Ryzen 7 2700X - Asus X470-F Strix - Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3000MHz - MSI GeForce GTX 970 4G (I don't know why i haven't upgraded this yet). - 2 M.2 NVMe 512GB SSDs - 2TB Seagate Barracuda - Evga SuperNova 850 G2 - NZXT S340 When you're going to buy: Will be buying around the 15th of January 2021 What resolution and refresh rate you want to play at: 1440p at 144Hz (G-Sync compatible monitor)
  12. Awesome, then I will go with this solution, seems by far the most practical and easy to go with. thanks!
  13. Oh ok I get it now, thought the ethernet to wifi adapter was meant to be connected to an ethernet cable coming from the router, just like a WiFi extensor. Ok so this seems like a great option tbh, is there any connection loss I could suffer from this solution? Like compared to M.2, PCIE or USB, is there one better than another towards stability or speed? I really want to maintain both my gaming experience and software cloud management/downloads stable at all times.
  14. This option seems solid, however, as I mentioned, I have my GPU Vertically mounted, meaning I have no spare PCI-E slots to connect this adapter. I guess I could cut the metal support bar and probably would be able to connect it on a PCI-E in the board without the card being in the way, yet I'm not sure if it would fit and the antennas would be a bit of a pain to connect...
  15. My MoBo has 7 USB ports and I am actually using all of them, I might be able to use the case USB ports, yet I tend to use them for external hard drives quite often so USB is still an IDK for me. On the other hand, I'm not sure how I would be able to use an Ethernet to Wi-Fi adapter considering my room won't have an ethernet connection, just Wi-Fi.
