  1. My reasoning was mostly to fix some other mistakes I made since it was my first build, such as lots of bad and expensive RAM and a poor case choice, and I'm pretty sure a lot of that extra cost is coming from pandemic inflation. But I have changed plans to just making some cheap upgrades.
  2. Okay, I'll do that instead, thank you very much.
  3. Got it, I changed to T-Force Vulcan Z
  4. Hello! I've had my first PC for between 1-2 years now, and it has a few mistakes that I'd rather fix with a new build completely than replacing the case, upgrading the CPU, and getting rid of RAM. I do realize that due to the global pandemic, parts are more expensive, and I plan on purchasing everything once the price goes down a bit, so I'm not spending $120 on a PSU that I'd spend $80 on pre-COVID. I'm planning on getting most of the same parts as the ones on this list: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7KbwBZ CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($149.99 @ B&H) Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard ($129.99 @ Best Buy) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($39.99 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($39.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($51.99 @ Newegg) Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8 GB PULSE Video Card ($189.99 @ Newegg) Or equivalent, gonna get it used Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ Best Buy) Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($119.99 @ Best Buy) Case Fan: Noctua NF-S12A PWM 120 mm Fan ($23.99 @ Newegg) Total: $815.91 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-07-15 11:18 EDT-0400 Are there any changes that should be made? And while I'm at it, what would about be the price I could get for the system I mentioned in the first line? specs are: Corsair SPEC-04 (red) ASRock B450M Pro4 Ryzen 2200g, OC'd to 3.8GHz with stock cooler 2 kits of 2x8GB T-Force 2400MHz for a total of 32 gigs of RAM (I know, should've gotten less gigs, dropped the RGB, and got a higher frequency) XFX RX570 8Gb, I bought it used Corsair RM 550X Noctua NF-S12A I'll gladly provide any details, I'm sure I missed something
  5. Yeah. Also, the two most recent drivers for my system don't seem to work, it pops up the terminal and says to download it the way I had.
  6. I can only get one monitor to work, the other one won't work and the third one's adapter is broken. I'll try updating drivers. Edit: scratch that, I got the third one to work but it's still in a super low resolution
  7. I had a three monitor setup, all three of which I got second-hand. After the most recent Ubuntu 18.04 update, only one of my monitors work and it's at the wrong resolution. However, removing the graphics card does fix the issue. Does anyone know how to help?
  8. Thank you, I'll remember that for the future for when it happens again!
  9. I actually completely forgot about that part of the process. Thank you for reminding me!
  10. I've spent quite a few hours trying to make a dual boot system, and spent about $25 on a thumb drive to get it to work. I'm currently running Ubuntu, and trying to install windows 10 on a second partition. My main issue is that I only have one drive, and I can't really make a new partition due to that. So, I'm trying to install windows on the USB drive, however, the ISO file will not copy, with the error message "Error opening file “/media/geem_neadows/929abb24-e502-4f93-909b-e74fb2c5eac9/Win10_1909_English_x64 (.iso”: Permission denied". I'd love to be able to transfer it, as I'm tired of troubleshooting and searching for solutions. Does anyone know what to do?
  11. Thank you, I was not aware that AsRock had RGB software
  12. I have an ASrock B450, if that matters at all. I think my list is iCue, Gigabyte's software, then I'll try G HUB again. Thank you for your time and effort!
  13. Ah, thank you! I'll check to see if iCue and some others work whenever I have the time.
  14. Hello! I've had my computer for a while now, which is running 18.04.3 LTS, and I wanted to get some software to finally control the RGB on my RAM, which is two sticks of T-Force Delta RGB, but it seems to me that most of the programs that are listed on the website, specifically Aura Sync, don't work. I also have a headset with RGB and am waiting for a new mouse that has RGB to arrive. Does anyone know any programs that do work?
  15. Thank you! I'll look for some 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen CPUs.
  16. I've been messing around with pcpartpicker to get myself back into the game of building computers, and I've noticed something interesting: The Athlon X4 950 is very similar on the surface to the Ryzen 2200g, but it's cheaper. I obviously want to save money, but I don't want to make a poor choice. Is there something I'm missing?
  17. Here's this, and I'm using a OC'd Ryzen 2200g with 16gb of ram and a GTX 1050 Ti
  18. Hello! I've been having an issue with my rig recently, that makes it hard to play games, and is really annoying in general. The cursor, and in general everything, seems to move fluidly for about a second, then everything stops, then it continues normally less than a second later. It happens in this pattern specifically, and doesn't stop, though the times do seem to get longer or shorter depending on how much the CPU is doing. Can anyone help?
  19. I plan to try to sell it on r/hardwareswap first, would that be a viable option?
  20. Heyo, I just found a smashing deal on Reddit for a card that I've seen and heard was pretty good. However, I'd like to know what I'll likely get from my old card if I were to sell it. It's an EVGA GTX 1050 Ti SC with a single fan, never been oc'd and has mostly been used for games that are pretty light on the card. Anyone have know what that'd go for?
