Budget (including currency): $2,000. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The games they mainly play are fps games that are heavily dependent on GPU/CPU. Other details Their current specs is: CPU: 10600k RAM: 16GB Motherboard: MPG Z490 Gaming Edge Wifi GPU: GTX 1080ti PSU: Gamma II Series 750 Watt 80+ Gold Resolution they play at is 1080p Refresh rate is 144hz Any advice would be appreciated.

update report so I got the 2666 set and overclocked it to 3067mhz at 16 18 18 38 stable I tried out a set of owl oloy 3200 16 20 20 38 and it was unstable at advertised settings

So ignore the entire post and just get the 2666mhz kit?

I see. Where do you get those numbers and what do they mean? The 26, 84 and 200

mb forgot to mention, the 18-18-18-43 set is the 2666mhz kit, would that change your answer?

I know higher speed number is always better but I want to know how much of a noticeable difference is there between 2666mhz ram and 3600mhz ram on an i9 9900k and Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra. I will be gaming and general productivity. FYI, the difference in price between the two "identical" sets I'm looking at getting is $150. One set is 18-18-18-43 1.20V while the other set is 18-22-22-42 1.35V. How much of a difference in performance speed would I be missing out in games and general productivity if I went with the cheaper set? Thank you for your help!

My nephew already has a main monitor (MSI G27C4) for gaming. He is looking for a 2nd monitor for general desktop multi-tasking use. Nothing fancy, just a basic 1080p 60Hz monitor with wall mount and DP or DVI-D input. He plans to use it for things such as Discord, YouTube, etc while he is gaming on his main display. His budget is $100 or less. One example I found is Acer K242HQL on ebay. It is open box like new condition for $100. Any other good suggestions?

I have no cooling issues with the old fans (TY-147A & TY-143). Just looking for RGB. There is a noticeable difference in the specs between the 143 and the ARGB fan I want (4 mm H20 vs 2 mm H20 / 130ish CFM vs 70ish CFM) so hopefully a downgrade in fan cooling performance won't be an issue. Unfortunately, it seems the fans are some sort of uncommon proprietary shape designed to fit only with their cooler clip. I did try to use a 140mm RGB fan frame (i.e., Phanteks Halos) which will neither align correctly with the screw holes nor fit in the space between the fan and the memory module. The only compatible fan that I know of is the Thermalright TL-D14S ARGB which seems to be discontinued and found nowhere to be sold. I emailed the Thermalright company and waiting on their reply. Perhaps someone with an idea (not replacing the CPU cooler) or better search skills than I can chime in and kindly point me in the right direction please? Thank you!

Budget (including currency): $1,500 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FPS Shooters Other details: The primary use is for FPS shooters @ 1080p high refresh rate. No peripherals or OS system is needed. Purchases are planned for BF. I compiled a pcpartpicker list for my 15 yo nephew's first PC biuld. The maximum budget is $1,500. He is pretty much set on an Intel/Nvidia build even though I think he should go AMD route. He is not going to be overclocking so I do not think he needs an aftermarket CPU cooler. I also need help in choosing the right video card. I am open to buying a used CPU and GPU.

Where is the monitor and why is Windows 10 in the list? Last minute change of mind.
