  1. Let me start by thanking you for the comprehensive response! I'll take a look at all of your suggestions, and rethink my planned build. I added a few comments below - It's probably not going to change your suggestions massively. My ITX build is currently in an NR200, and i recently upgraded to a Noctua U12A - So cooling should be decent i guess. Should have probably specified that im located in Denmark - So prices might differ. Current prices: - GIGABYTE Z690I AORUS ULTRA | 340 USD - ASRock Z790M-ITX WiFi | 290 USD - ASRock Z790 PG-ITX/TB4 | 460 USD - MSI MPG Z790I EDGE WIFI | 490 USD - ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-I | 650 USD Depending on what prices and deals i can get, i'm going to end up with an i5 or an i7 (Or AMD equivilant). I'm going to take a closer look at AMD's options, and see if i'm able to make more of my budget going that route. Gotcha!
  2. Hey, I'm currently looking at a platform upgrade coming from Z170 with a 6600K. However, it seems that the market for ITX motherboards are getting a bit limited. As far as i can tell, these are my options for a Z790 board (Intel). - ASRock Z790M-ITX WiFi - ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-I - MSI MPG Z790I EDGE WIFI - ASRock Z790 PG-ITX/TB4 I realise i could go with a 12th gen board, and update bios, but prices aren't that different. A lot of the features seem overkill for my usage, and i feel that i would be paying a premium for features i wont use. I do light video/photo editing and 1440p gaming (165hz monitor). The games are everything from AAA games, to esports titles and a lot of Cities Skylines - A good mix of everything. Questions Am i blind, or have the ITX market shrunk this much? If these 4 boards are my only options (For Intel 13th gen), which one do i pick? Should i look at other options? (AMD, 12th gen, H/B series)
  3. Budget is kinda loose Sounds like a platform upgrade would be the most sensible thing to start with. Then ill have money to spend again when a 3070 is available for purchase
  4. Hey - I build this PC a few years ago. I now want to slowly start upgrading it, but im not sure where to start? What would benefit me the most? I use it for light video/photo editing and casual gaming (League of legends, CS:GO, Cities Skylines, Warzone, Assassins Creed, etc.) CPU: Intel Core i5 6600k Ram: 16gb HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz Motherboard: MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC Graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Power supply: Corsair RM650x Case: Fractal Design Define Nano S
  5. Not really the question i asked, but thanks for the suggestions...
  6. 102 tabs of stayathomehub Jokes aside, It was mostly just to know if there were any limits i should be aware of. If i decide to upgrade it would most likely be to 32gb.
  7. Hey Guys, I currently have this motherboard MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC I would like to buy new RAM, but i'm not sure what limits there is. Would i be able to use 2x32gb RAM sticks? For example: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 64GB 2x32GB DDR4 3200MHz (PC4-25600) CL16 XMP 2.0
  8. Hey guys! I'm in the market for a new monitor to upgrade from my almost 10 year old BenQ xl2420t. The monitor will be used for light gaming, but i don't need a 144hz 1ms display anymore. I'd rather have a monitor with a nice panel that is good for a variety of tasks. I do light editing of photos and video for work and personal use. So i would need a display capable of editing those, but no need to get a top tier professionally graded monitor. I have no idea where to start looking, as i feel most displays have significant drawbacks. Regarding size and resolution i'm not certain what would be best suited for me. Right now i'm thinking 4K60 and 27" - But i might be better off with an ultrawide or something else?
  9. I need a microphone for teamspeak/Discord. I already have a pair of nice B&O Beoplay H6 headphones, i just need a microphone. Would my best option be to buy a microphone or a new headset for gaming? I'm not really in to the modmic for my B&O, so that's not an option. I'm considering the Blue Snowball ICE but i'm concerned it would pick up too much noise since it would have to be behind the keyboard while gaming.
  10. Thanks. Wish i had shot it in RAW so i had some more data to work with. But it was one of my first pictures taken after getting my first camera.
  11. Nope. Jpeg shot with a 200mm lens and then cropped. Focus is terrible since it was shot from a moving car.
  12. I love the photos 9/10 There are a few minor details that could be improved imo, but nothing major. I would love to see the "Best of the bunch" cause these are stunning.
  13. 6/10 i like the feel and look of the image, the clouds look amazing - But i feel it needs some work. The photo should be cropped in a different way imo. and you should be closer to the other cars. Reflection in the windshield is unfortunate. The colors doesnt really pop, especially in the sky. Urania Observatory in Aalborg, Denmark - Shot on Sony A6000 18-50 kit lens.
  14. Oh, my mistake - i have emulators for the games i mentioned (Nintendo and PS) So i need suggestions for new games on the xbox or pc
