Like many people have already mentioned, many shirts of these sizes are really short. I wear 5XL tall, and that still sometimes feels too short. I feel like 4XL, but with at least 6 extra inches at the bottom, would be perfect for me.

Yeah, I kinda neglected research in those parts. I selected features I felt were important and sorted by price. For the motherboard, I was also going for pcie gen 4 support, though different sites say that b550 doesn't have and some say it does have pcie 4. The power supply, I just went for a wattage I was comfortable using, limited to 4/5 and 5/5 star and sorted by price. I did think about the bios thing but I forgot about it before I found a solution. Are you able to update that Mortar MoBo without a Ryzen 3000 CPU? Also, if you have the time, what power supply would you recommend for this?

My Dean of Students is looking for a new PC, and I am helping him look. With his budget, I found a prebuilt that has an intel i5-10400 and a RTX 3070. According to a bottleneck calculator I found, those match pretty well, but I think I have a bias against Intel since Ryzen 3000, so it just doesn't feel right for some reason. I posted under Graphics Cards because the problem isn't about that. I am considering offering to build it for him because I have built a few computers before and I feel like I want that to be my job, being the "tech guy" of the small town I live in. I have come up with a parts list that I think fit really well in his budget, but it includes a new Ryzen CPU and RTX 3000 series GPU. My issue is that I probably wouldn't be able to get my hands on the hardware in a reasonable time like an OEM would. When should I expect to be able to get my hands on a 3070, and should I look for a different CPU than the 5600X to not wait as long? Here's the parts list if you would be kind enough to give me other advice: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor $299.99 Motherboard ASRock X570 PHANTOM GAMING 4 WIFI ax ATX AM4 Motherboard $177.99 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $129.99 @ Newegg Storage Western Digital Blue SN550 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $53.99 @ Amazon Storage Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $54.99 @ Newegg Video Card Asus GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB STRIX GAMING Video Card $499.99 Case Thermaltake Core G21 Tempered Glass Edition ATX Mid Tower Case $59.99 @ Newegg Power Supply EVGA BQ 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply $89.99 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1386.92 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $1366.92 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-11-18 16:50 EST-0500

I will check it out. I will likely get a better system anyways, but I guess that an expensive motherboard or zip ties are your options if, for some reason, you can't upgrade.

It does have mounting holes, and I already got a lga 775 comparable cooler, its just way off. I'll see if zip ties work. Image of a similar motherboard that would have the same issue: https://images.app.goo.gl/AaxBnCAfNGQLwUjE9 The mounting holes are far away, and the socket is rotated 45°, which I neglected to specify.

I got a Dell Optiplex 775 from the school for free because they were getting rid of them, and I wanted one. I completely tore down the system including the power supply, CPU, RAM, and the Nvidia GT 8400 gs. I put it back together outside of the case, and upgraded to four sticks of 2GB DDR2 RAM, but the cooling solution was a hard drive mounted fan that blew through a heat spreader, but I couldn't use that method outside of the case. It totally works, and it is the system I am writing this from, but I just have the hard drive fan blowing onto the CPU full blast. I want a better cooling solution, but the mounting holes in the motherboard for a CPU cooler are way off from a standard LGA 775 socket, and I know this is something that dell does, but I want to know if there is a way I could get a better CPU cooler for it without getting a motherboard that costs similar to a modern one, and doesn't even have the four slots of DDR2 that I would need for the RAM. I am hoping to build another system this summer and not have to worry about this vacuum cleaner next to me, so its not that important to me, but it may help someone else.
