Hi! So today i bought myself a pair of Corsairs HS50 headphones. Everything seems to be OK except for the mic. When i got in to a call with my friend on discord, he immediately complained that the mic was scrunching and that he barely could hear me. I tried to restart my computer and replug all the cables but nothing is working. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I think I'll be buying the parts for my pc this week and I just want to see if you guys think i should change out something. Here's a list: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor $94.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard MSI - B450M MORTAR Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory Kingston - HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory $112.99 @ Amazon Storage Kingston - A400 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $29.99 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.89 @ OutletPC Video Card Sapphire - Radeon RX 570 4 GB PULSE ITX Video Card Case Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case $42.41 @ Newegg Business Power Supply Corsair - CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $52.88 @ OutletPC Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $398.05 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $378.05 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-04-13 05:31 EDT-0400 Let me know what you think and I'll be very grateful. As said i think I'll pick up the parts this week. The GPU is alredy bought though. The things I'm most unsure with are the PSU and the SSD. This PSU costs about the same as the non modular version where I live,Sweden. The price is $80 and I don't know if it's worth paying that much for this PSU. EVGA's 500b costs about $70. Thanks in advance!

Would an X5675 bottleneck a 580?

My friend owns a comouter with: x58 LGA 1366 mobo https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-Lenovo-S20-Thinkstation-X58-LGA-1366-Desktop-Motherboard-64Y7517-71Y8819-71Y8820/32633125414.html 12gb (3x4) of ddr3 1066mhz dram xeon W3550 Nvidia Quadro 2000D He wants to game but this computer doesn't reach 60 fps 1080p in games he wants to play(War Thunder, Fortnite). His budget to upgrade is around $150-200 but I'm not completely sure how much he is gonna save up. The graphics card is what he has been considering to give an upgrade but the mobo only has Pci e gen 2. How would it be to buy something like a used rx580 and put it in this system? Would it perform better than what he has? If he replaces the gpu then how much would he be able to sell the quadro for?(used since 2014, dusty) Is this upgrade stupid and should he just save up and replace almost everything? Should he prioritize another upgrade such as the ram? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I think it looks good but maybe add a big HDD because 500gb is, for some people, not enough these days.

Oh I will definiately buy a mobo with 4 dimm slots. I've been looking at the MSI b450m MORTAR. I'll probably buy a dual channel kit and leave two slots open for upgradeability.

Thank you! What would tweaking mean then? Messing with the volts?

How much can you overclock RAM then? Can I buy a 2400mhz set and oc it to 3000mhz? Or would I have to get 2800mhz to be able to oc over 3000?

Hi! So apparently RAM prices are sinking. My budget couldn't afford 16gb before but if the prices drop I might be able to get a kit. It would have to be slower than I'd like since i plan on using a Ryzen processor though. The other option is to stay with 8gb but buy a faster kit. That way I could always add more of the fast RAM rather than changing a whole 16gb set if it ever is too slow. I don't actually think that I will really benefit much from 16gb since I will only play pretty simple videogames(CSGO, War Thunder). Note that I'm NOT asking for specific RAM kits but that I just waned to see what you would do and what I should do. Thanks in advance!!

Wow that sucks. This could reach court couldn't it?

The Athlon 200GE will offer an easy upgrade path in the furure to the Ryzen processors because it uses the same socket. A good mobo is the asrock pro4. Gigabyte B450M DS3H is cheaper and mATX but won't support anything much better than Ryzen 3 2200G.

Not what you were specifically asking for in this case but: Note that the Ryzen 3000-series will release sometime soon and it might make the previous generations cheaper. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Interesting! There is definiately a lot more for me to learn as I barely understood what you ment. But I did. *"look up q300l builds" has been added to the to do list* Thanks again everyone! I learned a lot by this!

The CX550 is only $2 cheaper so I'd go for the cxm if I were to choose between the two. A modular PSU is of coarse nice to have. I think I'll be building in the q300l and it's pretty open so maybe paying extra for the cxm is worth it?

The CX550M is $80 in Sweden vs the evga 500b witch is $69. Is the cxm worth it? Thanks for all the help guys!
