So I initially thought I only had a 30-day return., turns out it's 60 with total tech, so I could absolutely test it out for a while and then return it if need be. But I think this is what I'm going to go with. Realistically if I have to close a tab or two to render I won't care

Yep exactly, honestly I am someone who normally over buys. I really only have a year and a half left of college, but with my career path right now it's likely that I won't go into corporate and be issued a corporate laptop or anything like that. So I'm just trying to find a good middle ground at the moment where if I get rid of it in a few years I won't lose all my money, and I won't overbuy for something that is way beyond my needs. Last year when I was looking I was really taking a peek at the 1240p. So maybe I just need it 7540U and call it a day lol. Save myself a lot of money
 

Yep; Which is my main concern, the power is fantastic and SURELY will last me forever, going on 8 years with this HP 440G3. But, Do I need it. 🤷‍♂️ Nope. I just like the added idea of having 2 years worth of total tech warranty alongside whatever manufacturers are offering so I can save a buck in the moment.

You can either demonize ALL supplements like you did, or you can take an objective approach and understand its dependent on lots of factors; You cannot just demonize even the most studied supplements on the planet that showcase quite literally zero harm and being beneficial for ANYONE in terms of both muscle building and cognitive function, such as Creatine monohydrate, or you can just assume I'm an Undercover AG1 Employer trying to brain wash you when in reality I just work on the social media end of a supplement company that prioritizes transparency. Supplements aren't needed, they're a tool, But clinical testing on humans as well as third party testing to ensure your products contain what they claim, Is by no means 'voodoo'. You can find any data to support anything, but you need to be looking at proper studies, funding doesn't matter. Testing conditions matter, You can say 'Melatonin kills your testosterone/GH/Delays puberty because Dr.XX said so" when in reality they quote improper studies with rats and mice and melatonin has been seen safe in long term studies. Did my post have anything to do with selling you supplements? No? Then don't dig too deep. I'm not getting a kickback on if you purchase something.

U.S Guy who works in the supp industry here. FDA Cannot APPROVE them, they are treated like food in that instance and can be regulated/monitored in the event there are health related concerns, for example. Companies who continually used banned substances like DMAA/DMHA in preworkouts. Will be sent a governmental warnings and fines in the U.S. They are required to have the labels be correct and readily available on the tubs. You can find plenty of brands that do third party testing to showcase what THEY SAY is in it. IS ACTUALLY in it. That doesn't mean I like AG1 or ANY greens powders, I particularly find them useless. Whole food diets are way better and clinical research regarding greens powders for overall increase in health isnt SUPER tangible. But Supplements as a WHOLE absolutely have merit

No worries, Appreciate the help that you were able to provide I might just need to fresh-install windows.
 

RTX IS definitely disabled. I dont have the CPU/GPU utilization numbers but I'll get then in a few hours when I am streaming. I can easily get a 10850k but Im not sure that will solve the problems indefinitely. 
 
Im not struggling when not-streaming correct, I havent tried using x264 mostly because in a lot of instances I've been told warzone is a CPU bound game.
 
 

I dont neccesarily remember if it's the gauge or the wires overall thickness, they kinda just seem very thin and flacid

Thats it, Thats all LMAO. Basically how it stacks up right now, If I were to sell this combo for 350$, I could upgrade to a 10700kf on a Z490-e for 150$ but I wanna get a price check on it all

Yea, I could, Microcenter is local to me im in the chicagoland area, but that might be closer to like 480~ish. Depending on the board post tax

Yea, personally id have the 8320 working on streaming, but id could work vice versa. Just depends on the performance you need and games you play
 

Well for gaming. you dont have a gpu so.

Typically when someone says their on a budget 144hz is not what comes to mind

This is VERY true. YOU do not need a super high refresh rate monitor. I played CSGO for YEARS and got paid a little to do so with only a 60 hz monitor, if your good at a game higher refresh rates will make you better but if your bad it wont make you suddenly Amazing. You dont need a high refresh rate monitor but anything over 60 is nice aslong as its not a dumb price.

Yea, most laptops wont let you do this, im sure you could somehow find a way to do it with a specific laptop but not worth it
