Hail_Storm

Oh, then I miss understood what I've been learning about them. It seemed the mother bored was what determined that and it looked like I needed two dual kits. Thanks.

The H500 has a mess or plastic front cover and I will be using the mess one.

I don't plan on overclocking anytime soon so the Prisma Cooler it comes with should be fine. Also forgot to put I did get 2 140mm Corsiar ML fans for the top. Did notice I got the wrong SSD but its just for storage anyway so Ill think on that.

So I basically bought most of this already because of a bunch of sales, but I'd like to hear if there is anything I should or should not have done. I still need to get the processor and motherboard, along with the graphics card, but I'm waiting for the custom cards to come out. I am well within the budget I set, so comments about saving a few bucks isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Mostly about brands that were chosen and stuff like that. I'm pretty sure I might have overkilled on the power supply, but the sale made the EVGA 750W Platinum Semi-Mod the same price as the Corsair 650W Gold Full-Mod (which I was told to get), so I figured, why not. So did I screw up or am I good to go? Thanks! Side note: I'm building this for Video and Art production first and for games second.

A friend got me a 120GB SSD to boot off of and also upgrade to Windows 10. I set it all up and there was enough space on the drive to also put Steam, Adobe CC, and other programs. Now I still have the old HDD boot drive with Windows 7, which I'd like to use for storage and want to delete all unnecessary programs/files, but I don't want to have to reinstall all my games since there isn't enough room on the SSD anyway. Can anyone tell me if that is possible and if so, how to do it? (Games are from Steam, Origin, and Battle.net; plus a couple from CDs) Thanks ?

I have very little knowledge about computers; just the basics. I have recently learned or have started to learn there is a lot more you should do with a custom built PC. Like things in a bios menu to check or drivers for your motherboard; it was a lot of numbers and acronyms I had trouble following. I am currently hoping to build a new computer in the future, but until then learning this stuff made me think maybe my current computer could be performing better. My current computer (components listed below) is one I ask some friends to help build for me. To my knowledge, all we did was put all the components together, put windows 7 on it and I took it home. Other than keeping drivers and things up to date since then, the only addition I made to it (about a year ago) was a couple more sticks of RAM, in hopes it would help some issues I was having and as far as I know it helped. Parts List: I'm just reading the boxes, most of it is gibberish to me. If more info on them is needed, I'll find it.

If there are any performance info/screenshots that would help, tell me how to find them. Also, on a side note, is it normal for a PC to use about 5GB of RAM while not doing anything other than being on. Thanks

I'm a novice when it comes to computers and there is so much I can't wrap my head around. There are just to many little thing I need to keep track of, so I'd appetite a little help. I'm planning/hoping to build a PC in the future in the price range between $3,000 -$4,000. I plan on playing games on this PC, but I mostly need one that can beautifully run various Adobe CC programs, for my Animation/Video Editing work, with ease. With what little I know about brands and looking at Digital Storm builds as references in addition to the stuff I've seen in Linus Tech Tips videos, I've selected components on the Newegg, Amazon, and Nvidia sites. I'm just not 100% sure if I selected the right/best/most compatible components. Here is what I selected: Processor_Intel Core i9-9900K Motherboard_MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON Graphics Card_NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti RAM_CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro (32GB - 4x8GB) Power Supply_CORSAIR RMx Series RM850x CPU Cooling_Noctua NH-U12A Premium 120mm Case Fans_Corsair LL Series (120mm RGB 3 Pack) CD-DVD Drive_LG Internal Tower_Thermaltake (3 RGB Fans) Wasn't sure about the storage so I picked one of each: SAMSUNG 970 PRO M.2 2280 512GB Samsung 860 EVO 1TB Intel Optane 900P Series 480GB (Hear this was good for rending) OS_Windows 10 Home 64-bit I think this all comes to about $3,400; not including tax and shipping.
