Hi. Thanks for replying. I have this graphics card: ASUS DUAL-RTX2060-A6G-EVO GEFORCE RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6 ADVANCED EVO PCIE I don't know what DVI it is. About the title, yea I think I was wrong. It's a cable that has DisplayPort (hooks up to the monitor) and then on the other end of the cable there's a DVI port, which is meant to be connected to the video card. Here:

Are there any major disadvantages of this type of cable? (the cable itself has a DisplayPort port that connects to the monitor and a DVI port that connects to the video card) I'm thinking input lag (response time), screen tearing, refresh rate - does it worsen any of these (compared to a regular displayport) Thank you.

Well, I've been using Windows 10 on my new pc ever since I made this forum thread and literally the only driver I manually installed was NVIDIA Driver for RTX2060. That's all I did. Everything is plug & play, (for example Xbox one wireless usb adapter, controller, etc) I don't have to do anything. I haven't run into any issues as of yet, everything's working just fine.

Okay so unless I experience any issues I should just skip installing drivers, except for the graphics card. Thanks for the reply.

Okay, so I just got my new PC and I received a DVD with the chipset drivers on it. Back in the day I used to download and install drivers from the motherboard's official website but do I really need to do it in 2020? I mean I have Windows 10. Do I need to install any driver from the DVD (or the website) separately? Windows 10 kinda does all that automatically, doesn't it? What if I manually install drivers anyway? Will it overwrite them? Will it causes issues? Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions. I agree with the PSU. I might change that. I also agree with the CPU. I think a Ryzen 5 3600 is a better deal overall, you're right. Honestly I'd buy AMD video cards but ShadowPlay is just so much superior to AMD's Relive that I can't really choose anything else but Nvidia. I dislike AMD Relive so I'd have to buy a capture card if I go with the AMD graphics card. As for the mobo, I need built-in WiFi for when I do not use an ethernet cable, I need Bluetooth for my wireless xbox controller and I don't want to buy a USB bluetooth adapter because I will need all the ports for other things, I also need RAID, which might come in handy one day. It also has 2x M.2 SSD slot w/ heatsink, supports 7.1 surround and I have a 7.1 surround speaker system in my room. It basically suits all my needs. I heard it has great VRM cooling, too.

Budapest / Hungary, $850. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I checked the motherboard's official manufacturer website and it says "3000Mhz(OC)" ram are supported. On the website it also says "Ryzen 3000 Desktop Ready". Will my Ryzen 5 2600 work without issues? The shop I'm buying from will update BIOS on this board. Could you tell me if everything is gonna work flawlessly in this build? MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-E GAMING CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 2600 3.40GHZ AM4 BOX WITH "WRAITH STEAL" COOLER(YD2600BBAFBOX) RAM: G.SKILL 16GB AEGIS DDR4 3000MHZ CL16 KIT F4-3000C16D-16GISB (2X8 DUAL CHANNEL) GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS DUAL-RTX2060-A6G-EVO GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6 Advanced EVO PCI-E CASE: DEEPCOOL D-SHIELD V2 PSU: CHIEFTEC GPS-700A8 700

So you guys consistently say that B450 is better, I'll definitely scope it out, thanks for the suggestion. @dizmo In Hungary, the Ryzen 5 2600 is the cheapest option I'll also look for a Bronze 80+ PSU then. Wonder if 500 watts will cut it?

Budget (including currency): 850 USD Country: Hungary Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming Hello. First off, please tell me if this build is any good: 1.) ASUS PRIME A320M-K 2.) AMD RYZEN 5 2600 3.40GHZ AM4 BOX WITH "WRAITH STEALTH COOLER" YD2600BBAFBOX 3.) G.SKILL 16GB AEGIS DDR4 3000MHZ CL16 KIT F4-3000C16D-16GISB (2X8) 4.) ASUS DUAL-RTX2060-A6G-EVO GEFORCE RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6 ADVANCED EVO PCIE 5.) WD BLUE 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM 64MB SATA 3 WD10EZEX 6.) SAMSUNG 250GB 970 EVO PLUS M.2 PCIE M.2 2280 MZ-V7S250BW 7.) DEEPCOOL D-SHIELD V2 8.) CHIEFTEC GPS-700A8 700W I kind of tried to analyze my own build here. What's your take on this? Could you correct me if I'm wrong? 1.) As for the motherboard, I was told if I'm not planning to OC, paired with a Ryzen 5 2600 or 3600, the VRM's will be at ok temps. I tried to save money here. 2.) The CPU is quite decent I assume, for its price of course. I'm not planning to overclock at all (this board prevents me from doing it anyway so uh, that's that). 3.) About the RAM, I've only seen positive reviews about this particular kit. CL16 is pretty standard I'd say. 3000Mhz is also decent I think. 4.) The video card is a beast (for this particular build and price - there might be a slight bottleneck if paired up with a R5 2600 but I'd say it's ok-ish?) 5.) WD Blue 1TB because I can't afford a better and faster HDD. 6.) This M.2 SSD is pretty darn good. Nothing else to say about it. I want a very fast and reliable M.2 SSD. 7.) This is a basic case, I like the design of it and two extra fans can be mounted on top. I tried to save money on here, too. It's cheap but it's good. 8.) The PSU is kinda whack but I simply cannot afford a better one. After all this I still think the motherboard is kinda off. Could you recommend something else within a similar price range? Something that has better VRM cooling and has more features. I'm thinking AsRock or MSI? Thanks for reading.

Recommend a good 8 core i7 cpu then?

Can you recommend a very good gaming motherboard that can work with i7 9700K?

Would you recommend this board? Have you had any experiences with this board? Is it great? Are there significantly better boards out there for the same price? Also I'd like to use an i7-6700K or i7-7700K or i7-9700K. LGA socket is 1151 so it should be cool.

Yeah. I've already been screwed over with used parts.

My current PC has just died. I need a new PC urgently. I currently have like $500 budget. That's all I've got. Later I'll have more but as of right now this is it. I'll save up for a good video card and 64GB ram later. Now I only need a motherboard, a cpu and a power supply. 3 components. But I want it to be up to date and really good - if that is possible at all with $500 budget, lol. Budget: $500 I already have: - Case - Blu-Ray Drive - Samsung 500GB SATA3 SSD - HDD - Windows 10 x64 - A lame video card that I can use temporarily until I buy a new one. What I need: 1.) A dope-ass motherboard that supports: - DDR4 ram with 3000Mhz speed support and dual channel but preferably quad channel setup - 64GB ram max - some great built-in audio chip such as the "Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 7". It has on-board Sound Blaster chip. I need something like that. - M.2 SSD - Gigabit Ethernet - Windows 10 OS - UEFI - Built-in WIFI (this one isn't important, the rest are, tho) 2.) A great i7 mid-range CPU (It can also be an i7 equivalent AMD but I'd prefer Intel please) that supports: - 64GB RAM (3000Mhz speed should be supported) - Hyperthreading - x64 Windows 10 OS 3.) A reliable MODULAR powersupply 500W+. That's all the components I need. I don't need RAM as of yet. I'll just buy 1 ram stick to start off with but RAM and the rest of the components aren't important now. Thank you very much.
